For Our Oceans - Cheeky the Octopus
I missed World Ocean Day - it was on June 8th, but I think being behind in my email doesn’t mean I can’t take a moment to consider the care we need to give our planet’s oceans. And why not celebrate that environmental concern by making an octopus. Okay, not a real one; I have to admit that an octopus isn’t the most attractive creature swimming about in our oceans, but this one I found is awfully cute.
Cheeky the Octopus is not only an icon for World Ocean Day, but is the official mascot for Crochet Me magazine. She really is awfully cute and would make a wonderful gift for someone who collects sea creature items, an oceanographer you know, or just a great looking “pet” on your desk or bed. I can’t think anyone wouldn’t love Cheeky. As a side note, this is a great project for beginning crocheters and can be adapted to add many personal touches - it is just a really good pattern.)
