Baby Groot

My takeaway from the movie was that WE ALL NEED A BABY Groot, so here is your free crochet GROOTORIAL! If you haven’t seen the movie, Groot is this tree-like alien who is really big and strong and can grow stuff off his body and is basically like the Giving Tree on steroids. What You’ll Need - H8/5.00mm and F5/3.5mm crochet hooks - Worsted weight yarn in Brown (I used Rowan Summer Tweed in Chocolate Fudge, but it’s discontinued now. I believe Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice has a brown tweed, and Plymouth Encore Worsted definitely has a brown tweed, but any brown or tan/wood color will work!) - Sport weight yarn in Green (I used Red Heart Designer Sport in Pistachio) - Black embroidery thread or Black worsted weight yarn (I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Black) – If you’d rather not crochet tiny leaves, you can also use green felt to cut out leaves, and sew them on with green or brown thread. - 2 9mm safey eyes (12mm looks cute, too!) - small amount of Polyfil - 1 12-inch pipe cleaner or some kind of wire for the arms - scissors - tapestry needle - small plant pot - a handful of small, smooth pebbles - optional: fake moss, hot glue
