Notes

Gargoyle names always begin with the letter G.
Grégoire means watchful, alert.
Gargoyles originated in France. They were guardians that frightened evil spirits away.
Stone carved gargoyles spouted rain water away from the building to prevent erosion of the facade.

An amazing design.

Clarification:
Head:
directions state:
R 1: Begin at join…, turn…turn….

rather:
R 1: Begin at join…, rotate…rotate….

Made the back legs bent at the knees.
Made rounded ears, a tail and spine, yarn eyes and eyebrows, claws and fangs.
Made it in the marled yarn entire so it would look like a carved stone statue.
