Hey everyone! I’m super excited to be part of the Summer Lovers Blog Hop hosted by the amazing Tasha at Stardust Gold Crochet. All through July, you can get your hands on 31 fun summer crochet patterns—yes, you heard that right, 31!
Each day brings a new pattern that’s perfect for summer. Whether it’s a cute top, a fun accessory, or something cool for your home, there’s something for everyone. Our contribution today is our octopus amigurumi, Ophelia! This sweet little octopus can be done in any type of yarn you’d like, just use a hook that will create a tight fabric with your personal tension.
Picture yourself crocheting by the pool, enjoying a picnic, or relaxing in the sunshine with your latest project. These free crochet patterns are designed to add creativity and fun to your summer days. Don’t miss a single day—check back daily to discover the latest free crochet pattern and keep your summer crochet game strong.
Plus, we at Craftopia have a special treat for you! To celebrate the blog hop, we’re offering an exclusive 50% off on anything in our Ravelry shop. Just use the code found over at Stardust Gold Crochet at checkout and enjoy amazing savings on your favourite patterns and supplies.
This is a fun and addicting pattern! It begins with a magic ring, and you increase in the round to create the main body. Then the ruffly tentacles are added by doing a row of back loop only and then working into the front loop left behind. Then we use invisible decreases, add safety eyes, fill with stuffing, decrease to close up the bottom and add a little embroidered smile – feel free to add different facial expressions and get creative with eyebrows if you’d like!

I tried to get Ophelia on the blog hop day it was posted and never could get it for free. Please tell me how to get it.

I’m not certain what happened but the code has been extended.
FYI, as of 7:30am eastern, July 23, the Ravelry link goes to the Gilmour Messenger Bag pattern page, instead of Ophelia the Octopus!
I apprentice the comment, thank you! Not sure what happened, but here’s the direct link – https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ophelia-the-octopus-2
The “GET THE PATTERN” button above is linking to your messenger bag on Ravelry. I also do not see the free ad supported pattern here on this page. Please help as I believe Ophelia belongs on my daughter’s bed.
I love that you love it! Here’s the direct link and thank you for your patience – https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ophelia-the-octopus-2
The Ophellia octopus pattern is no where to be found. When I click on the link to get the pattern it takes me to the messenger bag! Where is the adorable octopus pattern that’s supposed to be there?
I am not sure why it was not working as intended, but here is the direct link – https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ophelia-the-octopus-2
The “Get the Pattern” button brings me to the “Gilmore Bag” pattern
Hello! I believe the link has been fixed, but here is the Ravelry link – https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ophelia-the-octopus-2
I too, like Linda, cannot access the Ophelia the Octopus pattern. The link directs me to The Gilmore Messenger Bag on Ravelry. Please advise. Thank you.
Hi! I apologise for that. Here is the direct link – https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ophelia-the-octopus-2
Hello Maytina, just thought you would want to know that the pattern for today, ‘Ophelia the Octopus’ comes up to your ‘Gilmore Messenger Bag’.
Thanks for letting me know, it was fixed as soon as we all realised. 🙂 Here’s the direct link in case it’s still not working – https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ophelia-the-octopus-2
