OctopusFree cross-stitch pattern
Octopus is a cross-stitch pattern of 20 × 21 stitches from the Ocean album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 3 DMC colours and 286 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.4 × 1.5 in (3.6 × 3.8 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (14 × 14 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
