Crochet an Octopus – a baby grab toy that rattles and crinkles with mirrors in the suckers (EN & DE)

Crochet octopus grab toy: a baby sensory toy with eight arms, rattle balls, crinkle foil and sewn-in mirrors – a teether-style toy and baby shower gift. PDF crochet pattern in English and German, instant download, explained step by step with photos.

An octopus as a grab toy for babies – crocheted from 200 g of colour-changing yarn, with eight arms and 24 suckers in pink, yellow and light blue.

It does more than look good: two of the arms hold a rattle ball each, two more hold crinkle foil, and mirror foil is sewn into several of the suckers. Every arm offers something different to discover – rattling, crinkling, mirrors, grabbing. Every step is explained with photos.

✔ Eight arms with 24 suckers in three sizes
✔ Rattle balls, crinkle foil and sewn-in mirrors – something different on every arm
