It's supposed to be 'strange'We haven't been able to get it to the daddy (I saw him on the bus yesterday, but Tommy wasn't with me. I wanted us both to see his reaction. I did shake the bag at him and tease him) We'll (hopefully) be able to give it to him next time daddy works Jungle Cruise.Baby Cuthulu is about 2 ft from head to 'toe' and around 1ft wide (not including 'arms') each arm is around 6in long.((PS- Glad you figured out how to sign into Craftster))

My hubby works on the World Famous Jungle Cruise and one of his co-workers uses Cuthulu jokes a lot. He suggested that I make the Cuthulu from creepy cute crochet for the guy's son (due in the next month or so). I explained that those weren't appropriate for newborns, but I could modify it into something for a baby. After looking up several patterns for inspiration( http://www.theanticraft.com/archive/imbolc08/eldergod.htm for the head, http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/81030AD.html?noImages= for the blanket and creepy cute crochet for the wings)I made thisHe's made out of Caron Simply Soft and Caron Simply Soft ECO (I don't like ECO, it's nowhere near as soft as the regular) using a size 3mm steel hook.I added rows to his head and made the tentacles as I went instead of separate and modified the 'arms' to hold toys/binkyHead shot-Wings-'Hands' use velcro to hold toys or a binky-Finally a full body shot-What do you think?
