Octaves are controlled by your embouchure. Flute is held facing right with your left hand facing you and right hand facing away. First practice directing your air stream across the mouth hole with all the finger holes open. That is an F sharp. Now add the first finger for an F and so on.



YouTube has some excellent videos on how to develop proper "embouchure"- the way in which a player applies the mouth to the mouthpiece of a brass or wind instrument.
