Here he is! I named him Guf because the Icelandic word for Kraken is Hafgufa.
He is stuffed with poly-fil and has pipe cleaners in his tentacles to make them curve and easier to prop on top of things. The tentacles were all knit separately and then picked up and worked in the round. His eyes were knit separately and sewn on.
His fins were picked up along the decrease lines and knit one on each side. The pattern was adapted from Hansi Singh. I shall keep him for a while until he can find a proper home!

How awesome! I've knit the octopus from the book and he's actually hanging out in my cubicle at work.
