Hand‑Crocheted Octopus – Oscar the Octopus
I create nostalgic, heartfelt crochet gifts that feel meaningful, magical, and made to be treasured.
If you’re looking for a companion that brings joy, comfort, and a touch of ocean magic into your home, Oscar the Octopus is ready to wrap all eight arms around your heart. Soft, expressive, and full of personality, Oscar is the kind of handmade friend who instantly becomes part of the family — a keepsake that feels warm, whimsical, and made to be treasured for years to come.
Lovingly crocheted in New Zealand using 100% cotton yarn (with acrylic substituted only when cotton is unavailable), Oscar is filled with soft polyester fibrefill and crafted with care in a non‑smoking, pet‑free home. His generous size makes him wonderfully huggable:
24 cm (9.5 inches) tall when seated
A full 1 metre (39.5 inches) across from tentacle to tentacle
Whether he’s sitting on a child’s bed, brightening a nursery, or adding a playful touch to your living room, Oscar brings a sense of wonder and delight wherever he goes.

CUSTOM OPTIONS
Oscar is made in a beautiful sea‑blue shade, but he can be crocheted in any colour combination you like. If you’re creating a themed room or gifting him to someone special, I’m happy to personalise him.
