Hello everyone!!!
I hope you are well or are trying to be well. I am fine. Today I want to talk to you about something I finished just 10 minutes ago. As you can tell from the cover and the title, it's an octopus.
The idea of making a friend for Cub suddenly came to mind, so I tried it.

---

---
The materials I use are as follows. I use 100 grams of cotton amigurumi yarn. I have used this yarn in my previous [cardigan](https://peakd.com/hive-127911/@bemier/crocheting-my-own-autumn-cardigan) and [bag](https://peakd.com/hive-127911/@bemier/crochet-in-cotton-and-care) projects. We have a love-hate relationship with this yarn. Although the end result is wonderful, the knitting process is quite painful due to the threads.
For this octopus, which will essentially consist of a head and tentacles, we'll start with a magic loop. I'll now write down a row list that might be easier for both you and me, until something changes.

I'm here with a new octopus. I'm thinking about what to call it. If you have any suggestions, I'm open to them. The burgundy one is called Cub. You might remember I used to take it on trips. I think I should take both of them with me now. That's all from me for today. I'm a bit tired, to be honest. I'm so used to working with 9 mm needles that even 4.5 mm feels too small. I think I'll take a break for today. See you later. Take care of yourself in advance, stay in health and love, and please remember that; ***You are the only one of you.***

- First Row 6 hdc (half double crochet)
- Second Row increase, total 12
- Third Row hdc, inc, total 18
- Fourth Row hdc, hdc, inc, total 24
- Fifth Row hdc, hdc, hdc, inc, total 30
- Sixth Row hdc, hdc, hdc, hdc, inc, total 36
- Seventh Row hdc, total 36
- Eighth Row hdc, total 36
- Ninth Row hdc, total 36
- Tenth Row hdc, total 36
After this, things got a bit confusing for me, but it was mainly due to the type of yarn I was using. I forgot to mention, but I'm using a 4.5 mm crochet hook. Generally, this yarn is suitable for 3-3.5 mm, but I wanted to make my work a bit easier.

---


---

---
The next step is Back Loop Only, meaning we will only work the back loop. Again, there will be 36 hdc, but they must all be blo. This was the tricky part for me, to be honest. My hook being too big for my hand was a problem, but I finished this row somehow, for better or worse. When it was finished, it looked like the picture above.

### Eyes  ---


---

---


---
You could use a pair of plastic eyes if you like, but I decided to save a bit of extra budget for this. So I made two small circles using the 6-ring magic loop. Using a crochet hook, I pulled the extra threads out from the inside and tied them securely so they wouldn't move.
This step was quite easy compared to the other parts. I'm talking about tying them 😂 Of course, since I made the magic ring a bit tighter than usual, it rose quite high, so I tried to stabilise it a bit more with a needle.

---


---

---
Here I will give another sequence list, but this time it will be for decreasing rather than increasing. You need to stop at a suitable point and fill it in, but not completely full. Just enough to give you some space. It's quite difficult to continue crocheting when it's empty, especially if you're close to finishing.
- Eleventh Row: hdc, hdc, hdc, hdc, invisible decrease, total 30
- Twelfth Row: hdc, hdc, hdc, decr, total 24
- Thirteenth Row: hdc, hdc, dec, total 18
- Fourteenth Row: hdc, dec, total 12
- Fifteenth Row: dec, total 6

### Mouth  ---


---

---

---
To be honest, I have no idea how to explain this part to you. From the lower section, which we haven't closed yet, you need to pull the needle out from the inside to the outside and move it towards the right. Then, you need to exit from the end point of the mouth (probably centred) and turn the needle once around the straight line formed at the top, then exit again from where we first entered.
I don't know how understandable this is to you, but I want you to know that I've done my best.
After tucking the remaining thread into the inside, it's time to close it up. It's quite easy to close the gap with a needle after cutting the thread, leaving it a little long. It's especially easy after dropping down to 6 with the crochet hook.

### Legs  ---


---

---

---
Now it's time for the legs. For this, the 45 chains you left extra at the beginning and end will suffice. This may seem a bit long at first, but instead of making all the legs individually, we will use this 45-chain section for two legs.
After threading a needle through one of the extra pieces of yarn you left at the beginning and end, you can add the legs by threading them through the desired areas from the inside. I added them like the corners of a hexagon to make it look more proportionate, but you may not want to make it perfect.

I'm here with a new octopus. I'm thinking about what to call it. If you have any suggestions, I'm open to them. The burgundy one is called Cub. You might remember I used to take it on trips. I think I should take both of them with me now. That's all from me for today. I'm a bit tired, to be honest. I'm so used to working with 9 mm needles that even 4.5 mm feels too small.

Herkese merhabaaa!!!
Umarım iyisinizdir ya da iyi olmaya çalışıyorsunuzdur. Ben iyiyim. Bugün sizlerle daha 10 dakika kadar önce tamamladığım bir şey hakkında konuşmak istiyorum. Kapaktan ve başlıktan da anlayabileceğiniz üzere bu bir ahtapot.
Aklıma Cub'a bir arkadaş yapma fikri geldi bir anda ve bende denedim.

Kullandığım malzemeler bu şekilde. 100 gramlık cotton amugurumi ipi kullanıyorum. Daha önceki [hırka](https://peakd.com/hive-127911/@bemier/crocheting-my-own-autumn-cardigan) ve [çanta](https://peakd.com/hive-127911/@bemier/crochet-in-cotton-and-care) projelerimde de bu ipi kullanmıştım. Love-Hate ilişkimiz var bizim bu iple. her ne kadar ortaya çıkan şey harika olsa da örgü süreci tellerden dolayı oldukça sancılı.
Bir nevi kafa ve bacaklardan oluşacak bu ahtapot için başlangıcımız sihirlik halka ile olacak. Şimdi sizlere hem sizin için hem de kendim için daha kolay olabilecek bir sıra listesi yazacağım taa ki bir şey değişene kadar.

Buradan sonra ise benim için işler biraz karıştı ama genel olarak ipimin cinsinden kaynaklı bir karışıklıktı. Söylemeyide unuttum ama ben 4,5 mm'lik tığ kullanıyorum. Genel olarak bu ip 3-3,5 mm için uygun ama biraz daha işimi kolaylaştırmak istedim.

Bir sonraki aşama olarak Back Loop Only yani sadece arka halka ilerleyeceğiz. Yine 36 adet hdc olacak ama hepsi blo olmalı. Benim için sıkıntılı kısım burasıydı açıkçası. Tığımın elime büyük gelmesi benim için bir sorundu ama iyi ya da kötü bir şekilde bu sırayı da bitirdim. Bittiğinde ise yukarıdaki gibi görünüyordu.

Gözleri isterseniz bir çift plastik ile de halledebilirsiniz fakat ben buna ekstra bütçe ayırmak istedim. Bu yüzden de 6'lı sihirli halka ile iki küçük yuvarlak oluşturdum. Tığ yardımı ile ekstra ipleri iç taraftan çıkarıp iyice bağladım ki yerlerinden oynamasınlar.
Bu aşama diğer kısımlara göre oldukça kolaydı. Bağlamadan bahsediyorum 😂 Tabii sihirli halkayı normalden biraz daha sıkı yaptığım için çok yukarı çıktığından iğne ile biraz daha sabit bir hâle getirmeye çalıştım.

Burada yine bir sıra listesi vereceğim fakat bu sefer inc yerine decrease yani azaltma için olacak. Sizin için uygun olacak bir yerde durup içini doldurmanız da gerekiyor ama tıka basa değil. Sadece size bir alan kazandıracak kadar. İçi boşken örmeye devam etmek bayağı bir zor. Heleki kapatmaya yaklaşmışsanız.
- On Birinci Sıra hdc, hdc, hdc, hdc, invisible (görünmez) dec, toplam 30
- On İkinci Sıra hdc, hdc, hdc, dec, toplam 24
- On Üçüncü Sıra hdc, hdc, dec, toplam 18
- On Dördüncü Sıra hdc, dec, toplam 12

Gerçekçi konuşmam gerekirse bu kısmı sizlere nasıl aktarabileceğim konusunda bir fikrim yok. Daha kapatmadığımız alt kısımdan, içinden dışına doğru iğneyi çıkarıp sağ tarafa doğru ilerlemek gerekiyor. Ardından ise ağzın bitiş noktası olarak (muhtemelen ortalanmış) yerden çıkıp yukarı kısımda oluşan düz çizgiden iğneyi bir tur döndürüp tekrar ilk giriş yaptığımız yerden çıkmak gerekiyor.
Bu s
