Crocheted baby Groot

   If you haven't seen Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy yet, you most likely don't know who this little guy is. He's baby Groot. Seen it or not, he's still so cute. I found this pattern featured on the home page of ravelry.com. It's a free pattern written by Twinkie Chan and can be found at this link. 

   I made this guy using a size F hook. My worsted weight wool was a bit old and thin. He's about 6 inches tall (7 if you count the tallest branch). I need to find a better pot to put him in. I just stuffed some green tissue paper in there to give him some height and help him stand on his own. It was purely for pictures, because I couldn't wait for the actual finished product. I'll have to make a special trip to look for his new planter home and update the pictures later.
