The Octopuses will be donated to the East Suffolk and North Essex Neo Natal units for babies in their care. To ensure octopuses are safe for the little ones it has been requested that:-
• A very tight crochet stitch should be used, so there is a minimal to no gap between stitches so fingers can't be entrapped.
• The yarn and filling needs to be hypoallergenic , preferably cotton and able to resist washes of 60 degrees C.
• The eyes should be stitched.
Information and a pattern can be found at www.crochet365knittoo.com/crochet-octopus-preemies/
If you would like to make more than one Octopus please choose your favourite to be judged and place any others in the pot provided.
