Free CAL Ollie the Octopus
Meet Ollie the Octopus. This adorable octopus with eight playful tentacles is crocheted in soft velvet yarn and is perfect for children to cuddle and play with. We love this yellow and soft blue color, but he can pull off any color.
You can join with your own yarn or order a yarn kit with all the yarn I used. Want to sign up for the CAL? You can register for free by ordering the product below. Or make a small donation to help me continue making free CALs available.
