Without tearing off the thread, we continue to crochet the tentacles for the front walls of the last row of the body.
Tentacles
We make a 42 ch , starting from the second loop from the hook, we crochet 2-3 sc in each of the loops, so the chain will begin to twist.
In total, we need to connect 8 tentacles. And to distribute them evenly for 20 loops of 27 rows of the body we crochet: 1 tentacle, 1 sc, 2 tentacles, 2 sc, 3 tentacles, 1 sc, 4 tentacles, 2 sc, 5 tentacles, 1 sc, 6 tentacles, 2 sc, 7 tentacles, 1 sc , 8 tentacles, 2 sc.
Without tearing off the thread, we continue to crochet the bottom. Before that, add filler.
