• Step 1

  Special Stitches

  In the pattern I’m going to call the Cthulhu’s tentacles a coil. When you see coil, do this:

  coil: chain 9, 3 sc in third chain space from hook, 3 sc in each of next six spaces.

  If you find the chain spaces too small to work 3 single crochets in, try making the chain with a hook that’s one size larger.

• Step 2
