Can you say 'squid'? He's so awesome, and totally unlike anything your friends are crocheting!

Sandford makes a spectacular gift (you know, for the friend who has *everything*, except a stuffed squid), and you'll drum up oodles of conversation while you're working on him! (What are you making? A totally-awesome stuffed squid, what about you? Yeah! Beats your granny square afghan!)

As with all of my patterns, this pdf contains step-by-step photos... so you'll never get lost! And you'll get a great squid!
