Percy The Squid is a gentle and curious creature, with great big eyes full of wonder - my little ones adore this quirky cephalopod, with so many arms to hold when going on an adventure!

The instructions are written in US crochet terms, with step by step photos detailing how to make the pieces and finish the toy.

When made with DK weight yarn and 3.50mm hook the finished squid will measure about 40cm long from top of the body to longest tentacle.
