I bought my first Tentacle Kitty at Comicpalooza in 2012. And let's face it: she's not your ordinary plush. But she does beg to be dressed. Since she's mostly a big head, just a hat will usually do it.

My gauge is about 5 stitches x 7 rows per 1 square inch. Your mileage may vary. Knitter, know thyself!
