Gus the Octopus

My daughter, Korinna, gave me a sea life crochet patterns book for Christmas. The first critter I chose from this collection was the octopus. He just looks like a Gus to me. I made the red one with yarn from my stash. I posted a picture of it on Facebook and my friend, Lara, commissioned one in green for her niece who is studying to be a marine biologist.
