Octopuses
For the voluntary project 'Kleine inktvisjes met een hart voor couveusekindjes' (Dutch) I enjoy crocheting
octopuses for premature babies. In 2013 this project started in Denmark as
'The Danish Octo Project' (International).
These octopuses have to meet strict requirements since the babies are very vulnerable. Interested in crocheting these octopuses for premature babies?
See the website www.kleine-inktvisjes.eu (Dutch) or
www.spruttegruppen.dk (English) for a list of the requirements and allowed yarns:)
Below you can find some inspirations:)
