Pattern so far

Make a loop of 4 stitches.
* 4sc, 2sc in next st * until the round is 28 stitches
(This gives you a conical top to the head)
28sc
28sc
28sc
28sc
28sc
28sc
(lets call this the face)
2 * 5sc, sc2tog *, 2 * 5dsc, sc2tog *
2 * 4sc, sc2tog *, 2 * 4dsc, sc2tog *
2 * 3sc, sc2tog *, 2 * 3dsc, sc2tog *
2 * 2sc, sc2tog *, 2 * 2dsc, sc2tog *
(This is the chin. The dscs causes the head to lean back)
4 * 2sc, 2sc in next st *
4 * 3sc, 2sc in next st *
4 * 4sc, 2sc in next st *
4 * 5sc, 2sc in next st *
4 * 6sc, 2sc in next st *
4 * 7sc, 2sc in next st *
4 * 8sc, 2sc in next st *
4 * 9sc, 2sc in next st *
4 * 10sc, 2sc in next st *
8 * 48 sc *
(Upper body, quite spherical)
24 * sc2tog *
12 * sc2tog *
Stuff, and slip a 2 pence piece at the bottom for stability
6 * sc2tog *
3 * sc2tog *
sc2tog
sc2tog
(flat bottom of body)

9 * pick up a stitch from the middle of the "chin" and make a chain between 4 and 7 stitches long. *
(Tentacles!)

Pick up a stitch at the top left of the "face", pass the wool through a stitch at the bottom center, then pass through a stitch on the top right. Pass through this V shape a couple of times. Then loop the yarn, round and round the legs of the V before tying it off.
(Angry eyebrows!)

That's as far as I've got. I still need to:

Sew on buttons under "eyebrows"

Make wings.

Decide it it needs diddy arms, then make those.


Someone elses pattern here.
