Crochet Squid

designed by Nicole Bilby

This is my very first original amigurumi pattern! It is very simple and quick to make. It is the first pattern that I have shared so please let me know if you find any mistakes.

This design is inspired by Hansi Singh's Squid-A-Licious pattern.

(This pattern is available for FREE for personal use only!)




(Note: this pattern is worked in the round in spirals, place marker in the last stitch of each round.)

Materials : Lion Brand MicroSpun, 4.00mm hook (blue)
Red Heart Worsted Weight, 6.00 mm hook (pink)

Gauge: There is no gauge for this project. Using a thicker yarn and a bigger hook, you can make a bigger squid.
