Make an adorable octopus crossbody bag with this crochet pattern! This bag has a zipper closure and can hold your phone, keys, wallet, chapstick, and whatever other small things you need. This guy would also work as a belt bag. Bag measures approx 7.25 inches wide by 8 inches tall (not including arms)
The crochet itself is simple, but there are a lot of parts to sew on, so a higher experience level is recommended. However, I think a beginner could tackle this with hard work! This project uses optional single crochet foundation rows or foundation chains, but I highly suggest you make the sc foundation rows (instructions for how to do a sc foundation row are not included in the pattern).
You will need 3 different hooks (3.5mm, 4mm, 5mm), a 9 inch zipper plus a needle & thread, and a fabric stiffening product (just for the eyes)
