This cute crochet octopus toy is a quick and easy project!

You can whip up one of these toys in under an hour, makes a really cute baby gift!

The safety eyes add some cute character while also keeping this toy safe for babies and toddlers. If you have never used safety eyes before give it a try! They are so easy to use, safe for little ones and add some extra cuteness to your crochet toys (I provided a link under the “materials” section).
