Octoalien

[crochetrae]

This little guy has a bit of background. A very nice lady from the LYS lost her husband last week. She was cleaning out and brought in her sock yarn stash and asked me if I wanted it. I offered to pay her for it and she just asked if I would make an octopus toy for her cat. Here he is along with the stash she gave me.

He's kinda hard to see and when you do spot him, he looks like a cross between an octopus and an alien. I apparently don't do stuffed animals well. Anyway, thanks to Alisha for both her pattern, found here, http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9910&highlight=Olga+octopus and her help!

Thank you everyone. I gave it to her today and she just loved it. The shape of the head and the eyes gave it an alien look to me cuz I didn't bother to put pupils in the eyes and made the neck too skinny. The original pattern did not resemble an alien.
