Beware the Kraken
Or How to Knit a Kraken in 10 Easy Steps


Striking fear into the hearts of pirates and land-lubbers hither and yon, meet Beware the Kraken!  She'll smash your boat to bits so darned cutely you'd swear you were dreaming sweet, marshmallowey dreams.

Like most of my patterns, this is actually a lot simpler than it looks - if you're comfortable knitting in the round, increasing, decreasing, and I-cord-ing, you can make this!   Seaming haters take note:  there's only one tiny seem to facilitate stuffing the last tentacle.

Materials you will need:
*  200-220 yards of worsted weight yarn
*  8 or 16 pipecleaners, some polyfill, and some plastic pellets for weight
*  4 double-pointed needles, size 3 (3.25mm)
*  stitch holders (big safety pins work fine)
