Eden is only a dream away: Crochet Baby Squid Amigurumi Pattern

    Yesterday I decided that my next project would be a squid amigurumi, I discussed it with my son and he absolutely loved the idea! He wanted a friend for his Jellyfish :).

     I am so addicted to creating these cute little guys, I'm filled with joy every time I finish one! It took a while to get the first few rows of the "head" just right, but the pattern is now complete!

I used a 4.25mm hook for the head/body, Red Heart Soft in Deep Sea

NOTE: Use a stitch marker or a piece of contrasting yarn to keep track of the rounds
