and wasn't scared at all by the tiny little gruffalo he met :-)
This little crochet gruffalo was made as a last minute gift for one of my lovely nieces and turned out so much better than I could have hoped for.
I used my Mini Panda pattern for the body, arms and legs, then added some different ears and horns before going all out with the embroidered details.
This little guy was so admired by one of my friends that she has commissioned me to make one for her little boy, and because I love this gruffalo so much I'm very tempted to make one for myself too!

He's adorable! I wonder if you can amend it to make a 'Gruffalo's Child'?
we all love him very much! He is,of course, the Gruffalo Child on most days as is always the way with iTunes!
This is great - would you mind sharing how you did the ears and tusks. I'm a bit of a beginner at crochet!
Glad you like him Victoria, can't remember completely how I made his ears and tusks...
think for the ears I worked a short chain (4 ch perhaps?) and then did a sc, dc, sc into it. For the tusks I probably just did another short chain (maybe 3 ch) and then worked a couple of sc into that.
Hope that helps!
Thank you :-)
