Crochet mini octopus

This is the first miniature crochet I have tried using thread/lace yarn. I was expecting to get extremely frustrated with how fiddly I had imagined it to be. Now, don't get me wrong, it was fiddly, but not horrendous. I will say that it can be quite harsh on the joints though, I had regular breaks whilst crocheting this. 

I made this as a gift but it would be a nice addition to the mini crochet badges that I have made (see links at the end of this blog).

This tiny octopus was made following this, very well written, free pattern that can be found here.

Yes I know, the eyes are not the best- I was struggling to find eyes small enough. Even the smallest beads I have looked massive on it. I may need to purchase some smaller beads. 

Hook off.
