This is a free, super simple pattern to make an adorable tiny dumbo octopus plush toy!
This Tiny Dumbo Octopus Pattern is the perfect project to use up those small balls of leftover yarn and it works up so fast that you'll find yourself making a small army of them! I find they're perfect for market prep or stocking stuffers. Make them into keychains or bookmarks or keep them as they are. I cannot wait to see your finished projects so tag me on Instagram (@cutiepie_crochet) so I can see them!
