Grumpy Catipus, A Fabulously Hand Made Knit Figure That Combines Grumpy Cat With an Octopus

Grumpy Catipus

Artist Zane Uzklinge of Pomegranate Wolf has created “Grumpy Catipus” a fabulous knit figure that combines the adorable surliness of Grumpy Cat with the multiple limbs of an octopus.

One day on some fun page I found a photoshopped image where there was a Cat with Octopus tentacles. I found that so funny and in somehow very cute, so I decide I need to try make one by my own. And that Catipus saw one really sweet girl, and she ask me- can I make one for her too, but like Grumpy cat face. And I did- So here is result. Catipus have 8 tentacles, Cat ears and small black cylinder hat. Made from acrylic and mohair yarns and filled with polyester toy filling. In mixed technique- some parts are crochet , some- knitted. Those deep blue eyes are hand painted with acrylic paints on plastic safety eyes.Catipus is small, but not tiny, his dimensions are :
hight 11.5 cm (4.5 inch) and Ø aprox 13 cm (5.1 inch)

Grumpy Catipus and other items are available for purchase through the Pomegranate Wolf Etsy shop.
