Welcome to this fever dream! This pattern will guide you to make Coco the Cactopus, a quirky mix between a cactus and an octopus. It works up pretty quickly! I've marked it as Intermediate, but that's mostly because a few steps need a bit more attention. Honestly, I recommend it to beginners who already have some amigurumi experience.

I've used the classic amigurumi single crochet, working yarn under instead of over, which gives a stitch that looks like an 'X.' I also used half double crochet (HDC) in some parts. To get Coco's texture just right, you'll need to be comfortable working in both the front loop only (FLO) and back loop only (BLO).

Have fun!
