Free Crochet Pattern: Potted Baby Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy

GrootDancing(You have to watch this .gif while listening to Awesome Mix Vol.1) I saw Guardians of the Galaxy last weekend because Manda and our friend Ehren both wanted to see it.  A lot of my friends have been over the moon about it, but I’m really not a comic book person, and the trailer wasn’t really catching my attention. I said I would see it if someone bought my ticket :P.

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.

GrootDance8smI don’t want to spoil why there is a baby Groot and why people are going crazy about him if you haven’t seen the movie yet, so go see it and then it will all make sense!

I put pipe cleaners in his arms so that he could “dance.” I tried wiring his body, too, but was running into complications with figuring out how to put stuffing in him AND a wire….plus the pipe cleaner wasn’t really strong enough to support his head and body and pipe cleaner was all I had in the house… so I need to play with that more at some point! Anyway, now you all can have your own baby Groot! And I am sure you guys will each put your own little spin on him!! I used online images of the Funko bobble head as my inspiration, cuz I think it’s super adorable!

Also, here is a step by step video tutorial on YouTube to accompany the written pattern below.


P.S. Thank you for all your kind and excited inquiries about whether I will be selling finished baby Groots. I’m really so happy that you guys like him so much! I will not be doing so, since I currently do not have permission or a license from Marvel. I do plan to have a giveaway soon, though, so stay tuned! (And no, I will not be doing a giveaway directly to you only, which is something someone asked!)

Finished Size: Mine is approximately 7.5 inches tall.

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

Abbreviations in U.S. terms:

ch(s): chain(s)
sc: single crochet
sk: skip
sl st: slip stitch
dec: decrease – you can use invisible decrease (invdec) or sc2tog
( ): work everything inside the parenthesis into the next stitch
[ ]: work everything inside the bracket the number of times indicated

Notes:

I just busted out this pattern last night, and it has not been tested yet. If there are any booboos or weird spots, let me know! 🙂

Head Part A

Groot1sm

With Brown and H hook, make magic ring, or ch 3 and sl st to 1st ch to form ring.

Rnd 1: Ch 1, 6 sc into ring. (6) Don’t join rnds. Continue to work in a spiral.

Rnd 2: (2 sc) 6 times. (12)

Rnd 3: [(2 sc), 1 sc] 6 times. (18)

Rnd 4: [(2 sc), 2 sc] 6 times. (24)

Rnd 5: [(2 sc), 7 sc] 3 times. (27)

Rnds 6 -11: Sc evenly. (27)

Sl st to next st to join.

You’ll now work on his broken-wood head accents.

Rnd 12: You’ll be crocheting triangular-ish and rectangular-ish shapes, and then slip stitching down one side of each shape to get your hook back to Rnd 11. We do this so we don’t have to break off and re join over and over again to continue our work. I broke each shape into different paragraphs so that they are easier to see and organize.

Ch 1, 3 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. 3 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. Sk 1 st, 2 sc evenly. Sl st down the side of the rows you just worked until you are about to work into Rnd 11 again.

4 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. 4 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. Sk 1 st,  1 sc, sk 1 st, 1 sc. Ch 1, turn. Sk 1 st, 1 sc. Ch 1, turn. Sl st down the side of the rows you just worked until you are about to work into Rnd 11 again.

4 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. 4 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. 3 sc, sk last st. Ch 1, turn. 3 sc. Ch 1, turn. Sk 1, 1 sc. Sl st down the side of the rows you just worked until you are about to work into Rnd 11 again.

3 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. 3 sc evenly. Ch1, turn. 1 sc, sk 1, sl st. Sl st down the side of the rows you just worked until you are about to work into Rnd 11 again.

4 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. 4 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. Sk 1 st,  1sc, sk 1 st, 1 sc. Ch 1, turn. Sk 1 st, 1 sc. Ch 1, turn. Sl st down the side of the rows you just worked until you are about to work into Rnd 11 again.

3 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. 3 sc evenly. Ch1, turn. sk 1, 2 sc.  Sl st down the side of the rows you just worked until you are about to work into Rnd 11 again.

3 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. 1 sc , sk 1, 1 sc. Ch1, turn. Sk 1, 1 sc. Sl st down the side of the rows you just worked until you are about to work into Rnd 11 again.

3 sc evenly. Ch 1, turn. 3 sc evenly. Ch1, turn. 1 sc, sk 1, sl st. Sl st down the side of the rows you just worked until you are about to work into Rnd 11 again.

Sl st into Rnd 11 and break off. Weave in end.

Insert eyes. You get to decide which part of the head should be the face.

Now you’ll finish the top of the head. You’re just making a circle to cover the hole.

Head Part B

With Brown, repeat Rnds 1-4 of Head Part A.

Sl st to next st to join. Break off leaving 24 inches of yarn.

If you want a branch or two sticking out of his head, crochet these now and sew them to the top of Head Part B before you sew it to the top of Head Part A.

Branch

With Brown and H hook, ch 8, sk 1 ch, work 2 sl st evenly. Ch 4, sk 1 ch, work 3 sl st evenly, then continue to sl st evenly down original ch. Break off.

Short Branch

With Brown and H hook, ch 6, sk 1 ch, work 2 sl st evenly. Ch 3, sk 1 ch, work 2 sl st evenly, then continue to sl st evenly down original ch. Break off.

Lightly stuff Head Part A.

Since Head Part B is 24 sts around and open hole of Head Part A is technically 27 sts around, you can’t sew stitch for stitch, so just sew it on as best you can and make it look good. I found that using a 27 st circle was too big for the opening. You can use Rnd 11 of Head Part A as a guide for sewing. While sewing, you also don’t want the head to look like it has Frankenstein stitches going all around it, so try to sew as invisibly as you can. Put in more stuffing if needed.

Groot2sm

Body

Repeat Rnds 1-4 of Head Part A.

Rnd 5: [(2 sc), 3 sc] 6 times. (30)

Rnds 6-7: Sc evenly. (30)

Rnd 8: [dec, 3 sc] 6 times. (24)

Rnd 9: [dec, 2 sc] 6 times. (18)

Rnd 10: [dec, 4 sc] 3 times. (15)

Put in some stuffing or your sack of poly pellets. If you plan to wire the Body, anchor the bottom wire now if you like, but you can also run the wire after you complete the Body if you don’t have a bag of pellets at the bottom.

Rnd 11: [dec, 3 sc] 3 times. (12)

Rnds 12-13: Sc evenly. (12)

Rnd 14: [dec, 2 sc] 3 times. (9)

Rnds 15 – 25: Sc evenly, stuffing lightly as you go. (9) (Note, I worked to 25 rnds because at first I was measuring the Body against a piece of pipe cleaner that I had. You can make him as tall as you like. For a longer Groot, I crocheted until the Body was about 6 inches long.)

Sl st to next st to join. Break off leaving 18 inches of yarn for sewing.

Sew top of Body to bottom of Head Part A. If you are wiring the body, trim the wire so that it reaches about half way into the head, and then poke the wire into the bottom of the head before sewing.

GrootBody

To prepare Arms, fold each end of the pipe cleaner to its center and then twist. If you are using wire, simply measure out the full length that you need for both arms.

Groot3sm

Use a pointy stick to stab through top of Body where Arms will go. I go 1 rnd below the the very top of the neck. This will help guide the pipe cleaner arms through the body, but is not necessary for wire. Slide twisted pipe cleaner into place.

Groot4sm

You can now determine how long you want the arms and lengthen/shorten the pipe cleaner/wire  accordingly. If you are using wire, bend the ends in now so that they are not so pokey.

Arms (make 2)

Pull out about 10 inches of Brown yarn for sewing later.

With H hook, ch 3 and sl st to 1st ch to form ring. (Don’t make a magic circle, or if you do, keep the opening loose because you need to fit the pipe cleaner through this hole.)

Rnd 1: Ch 1, work 4 sc into ring. (4)

Rnds 2 – 8: Sc evenly around. (4)

Slip Arm through pipe cleaner to see if it fits. Keep working evenly if you need more coverage.

When you reach the length that you need, create the finger branches.

Sl st to next st to join.

Ch 3, sk 1st ch, sl st 2 times. Sl st to next st.

Ch 5, sk 1 st ch, sl st 4 times. Sl st to next st.

Ch 4, sk 1st ch, sl st 3 times. Sl st to next st.

Sl st to next st. Break off.

While weaving in your end, also sew through the base of the fingers to pull the fingers inward so they are not splayed too open.

Groot5sm

Slide Arm back onto pipe cleaner and then sew to body. Repeat on other side.

Groot6sm

Leaves

The number of leaves and their placement are up to you!

With Green and F hook, ch 5 or ch 4 and sl st to 1st ch to form your leaf. Break off.

Tie leaf onto tree with yarn tails and then carefully weave in ends and/or hide them inside the tree.

Twisty Body Bits

If you want to add some twisty/viney bits to the body, simply work a length of chains about 12 – 18 inches for a shorter tree and 24 inches for  a taller tree with Brown and H hook, then wrap chain lengths around Body, sewing down at each end, and also tacking down with a few stitches around the middle wherever you want to make sure the vine stays put. I only made 2 lengths of chain, but you can add more, or put some on the arms, if you like!

Final Assembly

– Embroider a smile with black yarn or embroidery thread.

– Place baby Groot inside a small pot.

– Fill in with smooth pebbles to keep him upright. You might also need some pebbles underneath, so that he is not sitting too low in the pot.

– Decorate with fake moss.

– If you are giving this as a gift, and you don’t want anything to move around, you can also hot glue your baby Groot to the bottom of your pot, or glue something to the bottom of the pot for him to stand on, and then glue him to that, then cover with pebbles, moss, or both!

– EDIT: A couple people have commented that their Groot is too top heavy to stand on its own. I did not design him to stand up by himself. I always keep mine in his little white pot. The next one I make for my friend, I am going to try putting a little sack of Poly Pellets at the bottom and see if that helps. Don’t use loose pellets, as they might leak out of the stitch spaces. I’ve seen on google that some people make a little sack with a dryer sheet, but I’ll probably use a small square of fabric and sew it up, place it at the bottom/feet of the body, and then fill the rest of the body with regular stuffing. I’ll let you know if it works! Also don’t use beans to weigh down your toys. I’ve heard that sometimes if there is too much moisture, the beans will sprout! Which, in this particular case, might be kinda funny, but would also probably ruin your toy :P.

    Is there ny way to print a copy of this patten with pics? I am on an iPad. I usually can use PDF converter with web pages, but for some reason, it won’t work with this.
    Thanks! I would love to make these for my fourth grade students! Not to mention my grands!

  • LK

    says:

    FYI, someone has an Etsy listing up to sell a Groot crocheted from this pattern. https://www.etsy.com/listing/200413943/potted-groot Not cool. Since you asked people not to use the pattern for anything other than personal use, I thought you’d like to know.

    • TwinkieChan

      says:

      Thanks for the heads up! yeah, ultimately, there’s not really anything I can do about it. It would be up to someone at Marvel to care. I am sure this will come up a lot.

      • kathy

        says:

        Question: if you created the pattern, wouldn’t you be the one who owns it? I understand the whole “copyright” thing, but if it were up to you, would you allow us to sell the finished product? I’m just curious. Plus, I respect you and your designs. So far, my baby groot looks adorable (I just finished the head).

        • TwinkieChan

          says:

          No, ultimately the character “Groot” belongs to Marvel Comics (or whomever). LIke, you really can’t just start mass producing and selling Hello Kitty dolls, even if it was your pattern. It might be better if you called the Groot a “baby tree” instead, but if they own the rights to the imagery or whatever, you’d still be infringing their copyright. I think technically I might be infringing their copyright just by calling this pattern Groot, but I think you’re less likely to get reprimanded if you’re not selling something. I don’t know. Again, if you want to be sure about all the legal stuff, you’d have to consult with an IP lawyer, and not me :).

          • Lily

            says:

            You could issue a cease & desist, but it will draw attention to you and your awesome pattern, and then Marvel could issue their own to make you take down the pattern completely, which would suck. Universal did that to all the Firefly fans who were making “Jayne” hats and patterns. Corporations can let anyone play in their yard without charging, it seems.

          • TwinkieChan

            says:

            Yeah I am not in the habit of issuing cease & desists, and it’s not my mark to defend. Whether pattern-writers can actually protect their patterns from having finished items sold is kind of gray and probably ultimately not enforceable at all anyway, so, let people do what they may, and let people endure whatever the consequences are of their own actions. I’ll just do my own thing. 😛

    Hi, I am new to crocheting.
    Could you please explain what you mean by [(2sc) 7sc] 3 times ?

    is it 2 sc in the first stitch, then seven in the second?or 2sc in the first then 1sc in each stitch for seven stitches?

    Looking forward to attempting this!! Thanks for the pattern 🙂

    • TwinkieChan

      says:

      Hi! It’s 2 sc in the first stitch, and then 1 sc each in the next 7 sts.

  • Amanda

    says:

    Hi, this looks amazing! How difficult is it? I’ve never crocheted before but really want to try this. Wondering if it’ll be too difficult for a newbie?

    • TwinkieChan

      says:

      Hmmmm, if you are really unfamiliar with reading patterns, it might be a bit tricky. I would watch a BUNCH of basic youtube tutorials, just to get familiar before diving in. In particular, check out “working in the round” or crocheting circles. Most of the pattern is just “single crochet” stitch, or sc. Good luck!

  • Debbie

    says:

    not sure whether to thank you or not — I’d never made a toy before and have only recently picked up the crochet hook again — and my son finds your link and says, “Mom, you can make this. The Mrs. will love it.”
    So three hours of my life were spent making a Baby Groot, that I have no idea what it is, other than what you described above!
    OK.. thank-you! Now I can’t wait to see the look on my daughter-in-law’s face. I hope I did your pattern justice.

  • Debbie

    says:

    ok.. it’s DEFINITELY a thank-you!
    I had squeals of unimaginable delight from my grand-daughter and smiles of joy from my daughter-in-law who quickly posted a picture of her treasure on Facebook .. with a friend’s comment of there not being enough “likes” in the world for it …
    so your gift of the free pattern has been a gift that just keeps on giving!

    Thank-you.

    • TwinkieChan

      says:

      Yay! I’m glad you took the leap, even though you didn’t know what the heck was going on! 🙂

    Thank you for this pattern!! My sister and I were JUST talking about this the other day. I was saying that I should try to make one. Now I can, and I don’t have to write a pattern!! Thank you!!!!

  • Carlee

    says:

    Hey, so I’m loving my Groot so far, but he’s a little top heavy and his head keeps falling over. Any advice on how to keep him upright? I tried to put a pipe cleaner through him, but the cleaner kept bending. Any help would be great! Thanks for this pattern

  • Esther

    says:

    ITS SO CUTE!!! I need to buy this off you! or learn how to crochet some way or another… Let me know if you’re selling 😀

  • Melinda

    says:

    Love, love, love it! I am pretty new to crochet (about 5-6 months) and have only made one teddy bear as far as stuffed animals go. I had taken my son to see Guardians and he loved groot. SO what do i do? I find your pattern and i’m off to the store. I got a small clay pot, Vanna’s Choice in color Barley, some safety eyes and I was off on an adventure. About 4 hours later and NO cursing (which is rare when I crochet!) I had a finished baby groot that my son adores!!! I didn’t have fake moss so I took the green yarn and cut it into tiny, fine pieces and glued it over the stones in the pot to mimic moss 🙂 Wish i could share a pic with you. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful pattern!

        says:

        a video would be awesome! I’m still learning how to do non-blanket projects so it helps a lot when I can follow a video 🙂 did it only take one skein of the brown, BTW?

        • TwinkieChan

          says:

          Yep just one!

  • Kristen

    says:

    I’m having a very difficult time making the arms in the round because the tube is so small. Any suggestions,?

    • TwinkieChan

      says:

      When I make 3d items, I usually prefer the look of the Right Side of my work on the outside of the toy.
      However, when the tubes are smaller, it is easier for the Wrong Wide of the work to be on the outside of the toy.

  • Deb Watson

    says:

    I did put a pipe cleaner into the trunk with no problem. After row 10, I bent a 12″ pipe cleaner in the middle and split the yarn end from the magic circle into 2 strands to tie around the middle of the pipe cleaner. Then I twisted the pipe cleaner firmly together, leaving about an inch loose at the top to jab into the bottom of the head later. As I crocheted the trunk tube, I used a stuff stick to keep the stuffing around the pipe cleaner.

  • Sarah

    says:

    “Sl st down the side of the rows you just worked until you are about to work into Rnd 11 again.”

    Does this mean you slip stitch from the last crochet made, into the stitch one row below, and then again?

    I am a little confused and have tried a few things but the loop on my crochet hook never appears to move towards round 11.

    If anyone has any videos or can make one to help me out – that would be awesome!!

    • TwinkieChan

      says:

      Hi, I think you have the right idea. You basically just need to get your hook back to working on the main piece, so you just use slip stitches to get there without really adding anything more to your wooden head nubbins.

      I plan to film a tutorial this afternoon, and hopefully have it edited to post tomorrow 🙂

  • K8

    says:

    So much fun.
    I spent the entire day creating a grootling. Posted him on facebook and have 2 people who want one now! I see a 3rd trip to the yarn store in my weekend plans!

    • TwinkieChan

    says:

    I love this pattern!! I made a larger one but it was just too big, this one seems just the right cute size!
    Thanks for this post! 🙂

  • Marti

    says:

    Did you put a wire through the body too? Could you? (I don’t see why you couldn’t…) I’m curious given the wiggle in the gif.

    I’m about halfway through your pattern, and it’s amazing! I taught myself to crochet so I could make this.

    Thanks!

    • TwinkieChan

      says:

      Yes, you technically could, for sure. I’d have the wire ready and then stuff as you go. I just didn’t happen to have wire in my house that night, and I only had pipe cleaners, and the pipe cleaner didn’t want to stab through the stuffing I already had in there, and I would have had to start over again, which I didn’t want to do. I’m going to film a YouTube tutorial and actually wire the body this time, cuz I bought wire the other day :). I found my Groot quite poseable even without the wire!

  • Dawn

    says:

    You are my HERO!!! We went to this movie and at the end as baby Groot was gettin his jam on I leaned over to my husband and whispered, “I waaaaannnntttt one!”. I figured it was possible to bring him alive with a bit of yarn but I have other projects on my list… so when I saw this on pinterest!?!? I HAD to come and say THANK YOU!!!! This is awesome! 😀 Craft on my crafty friend! 😀 \m/

  • Dawn

    says:

    You are my HERO! 😀 We went to the movie and when the baby groot was dancing I leaned over and whispered, ” Ohhhhhhhhh…. I WANT one!”. I figured there’s got to be a way to bring this lil guy to life with amigurumi but I’ve too many projects in queue to tackle it at the moment. So when I saw this lil guy on pinterest!?!? I just had to come cheer you on! This is a most excellent execution of baby groot!!! Love it! Thank you!! 😀 xoxo

    • TwinkieChan

      says:

      Aw yay!!! I’m so glad so many people are enjoying it!

  • JHa

    says:

    A really cute idea I just thought of while seeing a dancing Groot gif was to take some vine colored embroidery thread and make some little vines growing up his trunk! Either embroider it on or make some long chains with a small crochet hook at tack it down with the same color embroidery floss or some fabric glue.

    says:

    This was the second thing I’ve ever crocheted and it worked perfectly!! Thanks so much, my boyfriend is going to LOVE it 🙂

    Thank you so much for your pattern, Twinkie Chan! I’ve always loved the cute things your mind works up. 🙂 I took 2 hours today and finished the head and body. I have only the arms, vines and leaves to go!

    He will be my companion at the upcoming Salt Lake Comic Con.

    says:

    Thank you, thank you! I love my Baby Groot! I had a hard time doing the arms in rounds so I just crocheted flat then sewed the edges together. Now, I need to find dry moss for the pot to finish.

    I uploaded it on Pinterest and linked to this page.

    Hi there! I just wanted to let you know I’ve made two of these now. A good way to go if you want to go the pellet route is actually pantyhose. I know it sounds a bit strange but I bought a bunch of those little $.35 ones from walmart and all you have to do is make a knot after you’ve filled the toe area with pellets and then after that its a knot at the bottom and a knot at the top after adding pellets and snip it off. I think I can make two or three more pellet sacks from just the one leg of this one knee high. I’ve done this before making owlets because I have friends who juggle with them and having the pellets seep out would be terrible!
