BABY GROOT

By: Corryn’s Crochet

Materials:

Red Heart SS Café Latte 7oz Skein (MC)

Red Heart SS Mushroom 7oz Skein (MC)

Small amount of Red Heart SS Paddy Green yarn

Small amount of Red Heart SS Black

Small amount of Red Heart SS Dark Brown

Small amount of Red Heart SS White

3.75 mm (F) hook

4.00 mm (G) hook

5.00 mm (H) hook

Sewing Needle

Scissors

Stuffing of your choice (at least 20 oz)

2 Stitch markers

*Finished size is 18” tall and at the widest point (around the head) is 20.5” around*

Whenever I make my stuffies, I always use 2 strands of yarn to help decrease on the gaps
and to make a sturdier stuffy. So when starting, I use one strand of the Café Latte and
one strand of the Mushroom, both being worked at the same time. This makes the colors
of the stuffy more dimensional. For this pattern, the only time a double strand is used is
when making the main body parts. The eyes, leaves, and green on top of his spikes only use
one strand of yarn. *You can use 1 strand of yarn if you prefer. However your final product
will be significantly smaller.*

In this pattern the legs will be worked together with the body, so the only sewing you will
have to do is when you attach the arms and eyes.

This pattern is worked in the round, so you will want to make sure you mark the 1st stitch
of your row so that you can keep count.

stitch on top of spikes, sc in
same st and sc in each st on top

the space in between each spike
make a long sc by inserting your
hook into a st in any row from 1-

your sc between the spikes, then continue to sc around
every spike.

*Lightly finish stuffing arms so they will lay flush to the body when you sew them on*

*Attach arms to the body, at row 41 (just before the 1st row of the neck) at a backward
and downward angle so his arms will come to the front of his body. The front part of his
arm where you are attaching will be attached at row 41 more towards the front of his
body. The back part of his arm will be attached at row 37 more towards the back of his
body.

Eyes (make 2):

1. With 4.00 mm (G) hook and black yarn, MR, work 8

hdc, join in 1st hdc and finish off (8)

2. Join dark brown with a slst and 2hdc in same st.

2hdc in the remaining 7 st. Join with slst to 1st hdc.
Finish off leaving a long tail to sew on.

* In upper left part of pupil sew a little bit of white

to give the pupil its highlight*

*Sew on eyes*

*To make the upper eye brow join with both strands
of MC and 4.00 mm (G) hook on outside corner of the
eye. Sc around the top of the eye until you reach the
inside corner. Slst into next sc of head and finish off.

*To make the lower lid, join with 1 strand of your MC

at corner of outside of eye and embroider around the
bottom of the eye to the inside corner. I went over it
twice to give it a little more definition, but it is not
necessary.

*For the mouth, find the center between the eyes

and 3 rows from bottom of eye embroider a small
smile.

*To make his “toes” use a long strand of one of the

MC. Tie a knot in one end and sew it up through the
center of the bottom of his foot. You want you
needle to exit out right under the front loops

(where his leg starts) at the bottom of the foot. Bring your yarn up through to the 3rd row
from the needle and wrap it back around to the bottom and pull the yarn tight ( not too
tight because you do not want to open up the space too far between your stitches. Do this
again, only go up to the 4th row from where your needle is at the bottom and pull tight
again. Do this one more time except go up to the 5th row from the bottom. Instead of
coming back out of the bottom of that section, have your needle come out at the bottom a
few sc over (as wide as you want his “toes”). Repeat this all the way around the bottom of
the foot and sew in your end.

*To make the vines that go around his body, with 5.00
mm (H) hook, join with a slst into any stitch on Baby
Groot’s body and sc in the same st. Follow around his
body by sc into the stitches of his body in any pattern
that you want. For mine, I did not want the vines to be
too overwhelming so I spaced them our fairly far
apart. I also did not add any vines to his head, but
that is up to you as well.

*To attach the leaves to the vines with 4.00 mm (G)

hook, and Paddy Green yarn, join with a slst to any sc
of the vine and sc in the same st. Sc into the next 2
st, ch 1, turn,
sc2tog, sc, ch 1,
turn, sc2tog,
and finish off. I
left the tails a
little bit long so
that I could
wrap them
around the vine a little ways before sewing my ends
in. You can place as many leaves as you want along
the vines. I also wanted to keep them pretty minimal
on my Groot.
