Cthulhu
Posted on August 10, 2012
Welcome to the first Free Pattern Friday! Once a week, I will feature a
new free pattern. They wont always be mine, I am only just getting into
writing my own patterns.
But today, I have something very special for you. My very first pattern, a
cuddly, snuggly Cthulhu! Who says Elder Gods need to be scary?
As this is my first written pattern, PLEASE let me know if you find any
mistakes or if something just doesnt seem right!

Hey I just love your pattern. I made one for a friends Christmas gift & I
was wondering if I could make a few to sell? I would give credit to your
site for the pattern of course.

What color Bernat Waverly yarn did you use? It could just be the light,
but the green looks different in some photos.

Im so sorry unit I dont remember the exact shade I used. I know there is
a dark, more hunter green in Waverly, this is the lighter one. It may have
been called Fern. The differences are just lighting. The tutorial photos are
shot with indoor light, and the finished product photos are shot next to
the window with natural light. But Ive only ever made the one Cthulhu
pictured here , so its all the same color! Thanks for visiting!

Hi, love the pattern and this is probably a dumb question, but on rows 2-
6 on the head, where it says repeat around, does that mean to increase
to say 24 stitches, then go around the 24 again, then increase, or just
increase to 24 and then start the next increase row?

On the leg, where it says to join with a slip stitch, does that mean to join
it to the first sc of the row that was just worked?

Yup, just to finish it off and make the rounds even for working the body
later.

I just love thisIm making one for a Christmas gift for a friend who likes
H.P. Lovecraft in a creepy kind of way. The only problem Ive had so far is
that when I finished the tentacles, It seems like I had increased from 42
to 48+ stitches somehow? I had to decrease a lot when I was finishing
the head, including going around again. Not sure where I went wrong
are we supposed to count the spaces beneath the tentacles as a stitch?
