Notes:

- The body is worked continuously. Use a stitch marker to keep track of where the rounds begin and end.

Repeat  Tentacles 1-4 again which will give you 8 total. Fasten of leaving a long tail for sewing.

You will now be sewing the legs on to the bottom of the body lining up the magic ring with the closing round. I had the right side of the legs facing out when sewing. You can choose to either leave the legs curled or uncurl part of them. I chose to uncurl a little of each of them.
