Cute Floral Octopus Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Cute floral octopus, only its not really an octopus in the traditional sense. The whole body and all eight legs are built from green leafy vines and fern sprigs rather than any flesh or skin fill. What youve got is a round leafy head sitting in the centre with a tiny pair of dot eyes and a little curved smile, then eight arms radiating outward, each one made from a curling vine branch covered in small oval leaves. The tips of the arms curl inward like actual octopus suckers, only formed from a tight loop of the same leaf chain.

Each arm carries a different bloom at its midpoint or tip. One arm has a sunflower, another a purple tulip, theres a pink daisy, a blue forget-me-not, a yellow daisy, and a small purple grape cluster, plus two pale pink plum-type blossoms. So its simultaneously an octopus and a garden. this is one of those builds where you realise what it is and your brain kind of does a double-take.

Thirteen colours total, mainly concentrated in those accent blooms since the vine structure is all one vivid green. Biggest size is 7 wide by 7.5 tall inches at thirty thousand stitches, which is a serious stitch count, so this isnt a quick half-hour project. Smallest is 3.26 by 3.5 at around thirteen thousand. Drop midweight cutaway behind on all fabric types, this has too much density for tearaway to hold it flat. Hoop firmly and stitch slowly through the dense bloom sections.

Pale backgrounds work best: white quilting cotton, light blue denim, cream canvas. The green vine structure needs contrast to read clearly. Go onto a light mint or pale lavender background and it becomes this really cohesive garden-under-the-sea vibe. One customer bought it last month for her daughters school bag and another ordered the same size for a craft-fair tote she sells at markets, which tells you it works across a wider age range than youd expect.
