Use the French Knot embroider technique to create the suckers with white yarn – insert the needle with the white yarn connected, wrap the thread around the needle two or three times. Gently pull the thread so that the wrapped thread is tightening against the needle. Insert the needle near the point where needle came out. Hold on to the thread wraps with your left hand and pull the needle to the back.
Sew the big tentacle on the front center part, then sew in this order 1 small, 1 medium, 3 small, 1 medium, 1 small.
