Damn you, Marvel -- you made us care about and cry over a talking racoon and a walking tree-man!

This listing is for the crochet pattern to make the baby Groot Sapling as we saw at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy this summer, but in a huggable cuddly size! He stands 21 inches tall with a 21 inch armspan, and 9 inches wide across his base. Baby Groot has two layers over his stuffing, so it won’t show through the stitches.

This pattern is 15 pages long, with 11 diagrams and color pictures.

Please be aware that, although I try to make my patterns as simple and easy to understand as possible, you may get more value from them if you are an intermediate to experienced crocheter. A familiarity with sc, dc, increases, decreases, and working in the round will serve you in good stead.
