Create a hilarious under sea buddy out of your kiddo’s outgrown tights in less than an hour with my lightning quick tutorial:
Grab 4 funky pairs of outgrown munchkin tights & some bits to create a face
select one pair for the “main body” & chop the legs off of the remaining tights
cut 6 holes in an even-ish pattern around the body area
decide which legs should go where
flip the body-tights inside out & pop the legs into the holes right sides facing & raw edges lined up
stitch them all together
turn right side out
add a face
stuff
stitch the top of the head closed & add a cute embellishment if desired
Present the snuggly huggly socktopus to its new owner & let the squeezing commence!

I loved seeing how huge it is in your daughter’s arms, too . . . adorable project! 🙂
“Krakie” is now her go to bedtime buddy – it appears the numerous legs create a fab feeling of cozy safety when wrapped around oneself 😉
Awesome! I love this. Going to send to my friend so she can make for her 5 yr old. He is obsessed with sea creatures 🙂
Glad to be of service 😀 Be sure to tell her to post her version to my facebook page if she makes one…I’d love to see it!
Ha! That’s hilarious! Love the butt-face! I don’t know why, but I was surprised to see it so huge compared to your munchkin. It looks like it’s attacking her! 🙂 lisa
Ya, I thought the end result would be LOADS smaller but when I started stuffing it soon realized we were going to have a fairly life-sized octopus on our hands 😉
