Stitch marker
Chopstick (or similar item) for stuffing
Toy stuffing
Yarn in the following colors:
Yellow for petals
White for face
Green for tentacles
Black for embroidering the face
Petals (Make 5):
Start with yellow yarn: Make a slip knot, attach it to your hook.
Chain 2.
In the second chain from the hook, place 6 single crochets (SC).
Place a stitch marker in the last stitch to mark the end of the round.
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch (12 stitches).
Round 3: (1 SC, 1 increase) repeat around (18 stitches).
Round 4: (2 SC, 1 increase) repeat around (24 stitches).
Rounds 5-8: SC in each stitch around (24 stitches).
Round 9: (2 SC, 1 invisible decrease) repeat around (18 stitches).
Round 10: (1 SC, 1 invisible decrease) repeat around (12 stitches).
Round 11: SC in each stitch around (12 stitches).
Finish the petal: Cut a long yarn end to sew later, pull the end through the final stitch and tuck in the yarn end into the center of the petal.
Repeat steps for 4 more petals.
Face:
Start with white yarn: Make a slip knot, attach it to your hook.
Chain 2.
In the second chain from the hook, place 6 SC.
Place a stitch marker in the last stitch to mark the end of the round.
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch (12 stitches).
Round 3: (1 SC, 1 increase) repeat around (18 stitches).
Round 4: (2 SC, 1 increase) repeat around (24 stitches).

Round 8: Join green yarn, SC in back loops only (BLO) all the way around (30 stitches).
Round 9: (3 SC, 1 invisible decrease) repeat around (24 stitches).
Round 10: (2 SC, 1 invisible decrease) repeat around (18 stitches).
Round 11: (1 SC, 1 invisible decrease) repeat around (12 stitches).
Stuff the face with toy stuffing. Ensure the front remains curved and the back flat.
Round 12: Invisible decreases all around to close the opening (6 stitches).
Finish the face: Leave a yarn end for sewing, pull the end through the final stitch.
Tentacles:
Attach green yarn back to the face starting from round 3 (counting back 3 rounds from the front loops of round 8) and chain 61.
In the second chain from the hook, place 2 SC in each chain down the length (120 SC).
Create a curl by twisting the tentacle uniformly.
For additional tentacles, repeat steps from one stitch post next to the previous tentacle.
Assembly:
Sew petals using the yarn ends at the back loops of round 8 on the face, ensuring they are evenly spaced around the face.
Embroider face using black yarn for eyes and mouth:
For each eye, enter between rounds 1 and 2, then exit diagonal to create a curved eye, securing with a small stitch.
For the smile, enter just below the eye, exit creating a slight curve underneath the yarn spanning the first eye and central point, then back through the original point, securing.
Final Steps:
Weave in all yarn ends securely.
Enjoy your cute flower!
