Ozzy is a precious octopus lovey that is perfect for children of all ages, big or small.
Ozzy was designed as part of a Cancer Awareness event. I chose to design an Octopus lovey because it has many arms to deliver comforting hugs to a little one as they travel the hard road of cancer treatments/etc.
Made with #5 / Bulky Weight
(Baby Bee Sweet Delight Chunky Yarn)
The goal was to make a relatively easy, quick to make, no-sew (with the exception of adding the facial features) AMI friend for little ones dealing with cancer … and Ozzy fits the bill!!
