The focus of Toft’s new summer CAL is the characterful Graeme the Octopus, but if you feel inspired by your summer holiday to go coastal with your crochet, there is a whole community of ocean creature patterns available, including Rebecca the Sea Turtle, Dave the Seagull and Cliff the Ammonite. As an extra incentive, this season the team is packing a free pattern to make and wrap a cone of crochet chips into parcels leaving Toft HQ.
If you didn’t manage to join the live crochet-along for Graeme the Octopus, head to Toft’s Instagram account @toft_uk, where you’ll find all the videos saved. Plus, look out for a new tentacle tutorial on Toft’s YouTube channel @TOFT_uk.When you’ve finished, use the hashtag #graemetheoctopus to share your photos.
