Plush Squid Views
We all secretly adore cephalopods, some of us less secretly than others. I whipped up this pattern for you to make your own plushie squid suitable for household deep sea adventures. You can dress up the squid body with a fuzzy sweater or shorts (depending on how you anthropomorphize the squid's anatomy). The one pictured above is named Mr. Caissy from Accounting on account of his long daily commute from the depths to his cubicle, making him prone to caisson disease. Don't mention his missing tentacles, he hates talking about that tragic boating accident. You can see more plush squids made with this pattern in my Flickr set.
I remember a day when my daughter was an infant, and I thought to myself that I would do nearly any type of entertaining thing to keep the screaming to a minimum. So I started putting weird things on my head, and eventually, she piped down. When I saw this hilarious Plush Squid Hat on Etsy, it reminded me of the days of yore. It also made me laugh, because it is seriously entertaining.
