Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight, 100% cotton in midnight blue and iridescent silver
• Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Hold the yarn in your hand and wrap it around your fingers to create a loop.
   • Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create a loop on your hook.
   • Yarn over again and pull through the loop on your hook to secure the magic ring.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
   • Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring.
3. Round 2: Increase by working 2 sc in each stitch around (12 stitches total).
4. Round 3: (1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat around (18 stitches total).
5. Round 4: (2 sc, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat around (24 stitches total).
6. Rounds 5-8: Work 1 sc in each stitch around. This will create the body of the bootie.
7. Change Color: Switch to iridescent silver yarn.
8. Round 9: Work 1 sc in each stitch around.
9. Round 10: (3 sc, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat around (30 stitches total).
10. Rounds 11-12: Work 1 sc in each stitch around.
11. Round 13: Create Tentacles:
    • Chain 10, then slip stitch back down the chain to create a tentacle.
    • After the slip stitch, work 2 sc in the next 2 stitches on the bootie.
    • Repeat this process around the bootie to create multiple tentacles.
12. Finish Up:
    • Fasten off the yarn and cut it, leaving a tail for weaving in.
    • Use a tapestry needle to weave in all ends securely.
