Hello NeedleWorkMonday community. Thank you very much for the nice show of love in the previous post. This motivates and excites me, because I feel that I am at home, in a warm and loving place, where I can share my weaving ideas. 😍
This week I have for you a nice Octopus, ideal to decorate the baby's room of the moms who are in the sweet wait. I made it in blue, but you can use the variety of colors you want.
This type of octopus was a fashion that started in Denmark as a solidarity action for premature babies, because the tentacles have some similarity with the umbilical cord. The idea was to give some comfort to the baby while it was inside the incubator. Of course there are defenders, as well as detractors regarding whether it is beneficial or not for the premature baby.
Personally, I find all amigurumi tender and adorable, but since they are small, woven pieces that are sewn or glued together, they must be treated with great care, especially if the doll is to be given to a child.
MATERIALS. First of all the materials we must have:
1.- Crochet knitting needle N° 2.
2.- Anti-allergic filling.
3.- Cotton thread of colors: blue in several tonalities, white and black.
4.- Straight sewing needle.
TO ELABORATE THE BALL. Dark blue thread:
- Weave a magic ring of 5 chains, close.
- Turn 1. Weave 6 half stitches.
- Row 2: Weave 12 half stitches, that is, two stitches on each chain.
- Row 3: Weave one half stitch and two half stitches on the same stitch.
- Row 4: Weave two half stitches and two half stitches on the same stitch.
- Row 5: Weave three half stitches and two half stitches on the same stitch.
- Rows 6 to 14. Weave one half stitch on each stitch.
- Row 15: Weave four half stitches and reduce one.
- Row 16: Weave three half stitches and reduce one.
- Row 17: Weave 2 half stitches and reduce one. Insert the anti-allergic padding.
- Row 18: Weave 1 half stitch and reduce one. Close.

AHORA EN ESPAÑOL
Hola comunidad NeedleWorkMonday. Muchas gracias por tan lindas muestras de cariño en el anterior post. Eso me motiva y emociona, pues siento que estoy en mi casa, en un lugar cálido y lleno de amor, donde puedo compartir mis ideas de tejido. 😍
Esta semana tengo para ustedes un lindo Pulpo, ideal para decorar la habitación del bebé de las mamis que están en la dulce espera. Lo hice en color azul, pero ustedes pueden utilizar la variedad de colores que deseen.
Este tipo de pulpo fue una moda que comenzó en Dinamarca como una acción solidaria para bebés prematuros, pues los tentáculos tienen cierta similitud con el cordón umbilical. La idea era dar cierto confort al bebé mientras estaba dentro de la incubadora. Por supuesto hay defensores, así como detractores respecto si es beneficioso o no para el bebé prematuro.
Personalmente todo amigurumi me parece tierno y adorable, pero al ser piezas tejidas, pequeñas, y cosidas o pegadas, deben ser tratadas con sumo cuidado, más si el muñeco va a ser entregado a un niño.
MATERIALES. Primero que nada los materiales que debemos tener:
1.- Aguja para tejer crochet N° 2.
2.- Relleno antialérgico.
3.- Hilo algodón de colores: azul en varias tonalidades, blanco y negro.
4.- Aguja recta de coser.
ELABORAR LA BOLITA. Hilo azul oscuro:
- Teje un Anillo mágico de 5 cadenetas, cierra.
- Vuelta 1. Teje 6 medio puntos.
- Vuelta 2: Teje 12 medio puntos, es decir, dos puntos sobre cada cadeneta.
- Vuelta 3: Teje un medio punto y dos medio puntos en un mismo punto.
- Vuelta 4: Teje dos medio punto y dos medio puntos en un mismo punto.
- Vuelta 5: Teje tres medio punto y dos medio puntos en un mismo punto.
- Vueltas 6 ala 14. Teje un medio punto sobre cada punto.
- Vuelta 15: Teje 4 medio puntos y reduce uno.
- Vuelta 16: Teje 3 medio puntos y reduce uno.
- Vuelta 17: Teje 2 medio puntos y reduce uno. Introduce el relleno antialérgico.
- Vuelta 18: Teje 1 medio punto y reduce uno. Cierra.
ELABORANDO LOS TENTACULOS. Teje 6 tentáculos. En azules de varios tonos
- Haz 25 cadenetas.
- Teje tres medio puntos en cada cadeneta. Cierra.
ELABORANDO EL CUELLO. En color blanco.
- Haz 30 cadenetas.
- Teje una vareta en cada cadeneta. Cierra.
Con la ayuda de la aguja recta cose todas las piezas y borda los ojos en colores blanco y negro.

Thank you for sharing another great tutorial with us. I’ve seen the initiative for making these. I think they are precious to make for premature babies. I do think the babies should be monitored carefully when these are placed by them.
You did really good on this one it is really adorable ~
Thanks so much. Really i feel like in my home here. I am thinking what i will do next week. Sorry for my english i am learning.
Omg, a blue octopus, I love that color. You make magic.
thanks so much @afrikablr.
Hola, me encanta leerte, y poder ver algo tan tierno tejido, la gama de azules que usaste, es super tierna y perfecta. Y definitivamente, un cuarto de bebé adornado con el pulpo, sería adorable. Me pregunto cómo se vería un pulpo de varios móviles. Saludos
Hola!! gracias por tus comentarios, me motivan. Y la verdad, muy interesante pregunta, creo que se vería genial un móvil de varios pulpos y colores!!
