How to do it 
1
Knit approx. 12 meters of knitted tube on a knitting mill, equivalent to approx. One ball of wool.
2
Shape a ball from approx. 25 g polyester stuffing for the octopus's head.
3
Wrap wool around the ball of polyester stuffing until the white polyester stuffing is completely covered. You will need approx. 25 g of wool for an 8 cm diameter ball.
4
Secure the end with a yarn needle.
5
Cut the knitted tube into 15 pieces each measuring approx. 80 cm. Arrange them in a row and sew the pieces of knitted tube together in the same row
of stitches ensuring a uniform finish. Start from the middle.
6
Sew a 15 cm section together in the middle. Secure and trim.
7
Arrange the knitted tube section around the ball and secure with a piece of wool.
8
Sew the knitted tube section together in the sides, covering the ball completely.
9
Trim the octopus' arms to the same length. Pick up the four stitches at the ends of all of the pieces of knitted tube using a yarn needle. Secure the ends.
10
Plait the octopus's arms.
11
Sew the three ends together with a yarn needle so the plait doesn't unravel.
12
Sew on wooden buttons for the eyes.
13
Tie satin ribbon around the octopus's neck.
