After sharing photos of my first two cuttlefish on the “makers” channel on Slack at work, a coworker asked if I could make one for him. Normally I never make commissions, but I already had an extra frill made for a cuttlefish (I’d made a couple before deciding on a color for the last one I made) and kinda wanted to see how the next stretch of yarn on the same skein would turn out anyway (it transitions through sooo many pretty colors!) so I actually agreed.
And now my dilemma… I can’t decide which one I like best!! I’ll send one or the other to the coworker (he didn’t specify any color preference), but whiiiiich?! I still love that both of these are made from the same skein of yarn:
I love the way the blue frill connects to the blue at the tip of the body, and I love the orange tentacles! I like how the colors blend from the tentacles to the frill- it feels more cohesive. So, that’s the one I would keep!
These are so awesome! I am having a hard time thinking of a better use for this variegated yarn- it’s truly perfect for these guys! I’d love to see a whole family of them!
I’m going to purchase this pattern which is something I hardly ever do. I can usually visualize how to create most shapes & I find it distracting to read a pattern while crocheting but there is something about those cuttle-eyes. It’s just a really great looking pattern & you’ve made such cute examples of it. I’m “hooked”!
These are just too cute! Make an army of them! 
If I were to choose, I’d pick the blue frilled one
