This isn’t the most accurate, precision instructions you’ll find in a knitting pattern but try to just go with the flow, it doesn't need to be perfect to come out well.



Find the middle two stitches at the narrowest point between the eye-holes and pick up two stitches with a DP needle.

Knit 2 stitches

Before purling the next row, pick up a stitch down one row and one to the right (of the first 2 stitches you picked up). Purl the 3 stitches on your needle then pick one more stitch down one row and left (of the first 2 stitches you picked up).

Continue increasing in this way; picking up one stitch at the beginning and end of each row, moving down and out a row each time.

When you have 16 stitches on your needle:

Pick up stitch to start row, knit this together with the first stitch already on the needle, k6, m1, k2, m1, k6, pick up another stitch and purl together with last stitch. (18st)

Next row: pick up stitch, p2tog, p3, m1, p10, m1, p3, pick up stitch, p2tog (20st)



The piece should come to about halfway across the eyehole on either side.



Slip 15 stitches onto a stitch holder



Tentacles :

Knit 5stitches then CO 7st (12 st total). Share the stitches over 3needles and join in the round.

Knit straight until it measures 6cm from the point of separation.

Decreasing:

Round 1: *k2tog, k2* repeat

Round 2: *k2tog, k1* repeat

Round 3: *k2tog* repeat

Break yarn, using darning needle thread yarn end through remaining stitches. Pull tight and tie off.

Repeat for the next five stitches x 3



Stuff the tentacles and the top of the “wub wub” lightly. stitch the inner sided of the tentacles together and stitch the back of the tentacles to the mask.
