In animes they sometimes show these tiny, red octopuses, called “tako” in Japanese. When I found patterns for beaded takos I knew that I wanted a red one, like in animes 😄
For its smaller counterpart I chose teal coloured beads. Together they look like they are trying out a new dance routine: to the left – to the right – rolling around!

Takos are the classical filling in takoyaki, Japanese for “grilled octopus” and a very prominent featured street food in animes. So of course I also needed to make my own version of takoyaki 😁

Disclaimer: No beaded takos where harmed while making this takoyaki.
