He's knitted in just two shades of Stylecraft Special DK; Spice and Saffron. Whilst the main part of the cosy is knitted with double thickness yarn to keep the teapot really hot, the rest of the octopus is knitted with a single strand on 4.0mm knitting needles.
What is great is that you can get really creative with the legs and sew them into any position, but I think they look amazing curled up.
It's a 4 page knitting pattern that is easy to follow and mainly worked in stocking stitch with a few bobbles to create tentacle suckers. There is a help video on YouTube to knit the bobbles, you can find it here https://youtu.be/sPB7pxRPnuw
The Octopus tea cosy fits a medium sized teapot that covers a Teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints.
