Remember way back in February when I was working on Nautie? A friend got super excited when she saw him, and started talking about her favorite sea creature, the cuttlefish. “You could really just knit a pillow and put a ruffle on it!” But really, what’s a cuttlefish without the tentacles? Or the super-cute bug eyes?
Mandy’s birthday was coming up in April, so I decided she needed a knitted cuttlefish. I didn’t finish the little fella until last weekend, but hey, I was knitting out on a limb. (Ever do a Google search for “knitted cuttlefish pattern?” You aren’t likely to find one. Figuring these things out takes time. If you want the pattern, leave a comment — I took copious notes.)
He’s been on a mini-world tour this week. I figured as much as I chatted people’s ear off about cuttlefish for months, I should show them what I was talking about. He went to meet the friends last weekend, and he went to work with me one day this week, and then to the yarn store and my last knitting class on Tuesday.
He’s quite the little rock star — people really seem to love him! I’m going to give him to Mandy one day this week, and hopefully she’ll love him, too.

Oddly enough, I just did a google search on “knitted cuttlefish pattern”, and yours was the first to come up — love the cuddlefish! Actually, it’s the only result that seems remotely relevant. I’d greatly appreciate the notes/pattern if you have them handy.
Also, how nice to know that I’m not the only person in the world who wants to knit a cuttlefish!
