This little guy was my first attempt, in which I realized I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CROCHET and was just making it up as I went. So his head is not quite round, and his little wings are ... odd, but it doesn't matter because I don't remember Lovecraft going on too much about the perfect roundness of Cthulhu's head. Not that I would, as I haven't actually read much H.P. Lovecraft, but I am very fond of him, personally. Two of you will remember once taking me with you on a Chinese-takeout-picnic atop his grave. I left a tasty piece of General Tso's chicken by his tombstone (because I didn't have a bottle of hooch to poor on the ground) and that cemented the friendship. (Actually, maybe I just DROPPED the piece of chicken, by accident. Actually, I'm not sure if I was the one who dropped it. Did anyone even drop a piece of chicken at all? Ahhh, memories!)
Also, I did a really crappy job joining Cthulhu's head to his body, so I decided that he looked cold and crocheted him a little scarf to cover it up.
Then I made this one out of leftover Blugly yarn. Doesn't he look menacing, even though he is only three inches tall and getting ready to scrub down the kitchen windows with his big bottle of Windex? "Rarrrgggghh! I am Cthulhu! I sit in the abyss and look scary! Snuggle me and despair!"I'd say "I need a hobby," but that's how all this started.

What I want to know is how on earth you got them to stay upright! Mine falls over if I so much as move quickly past it. I might velcro him down.
I smooshed him down a lot and said very bad words. I actually went back to the craft store and purchased some plastic "beanie" filling to use for the next one, because the standy-up thing annoyed me, too.
Cthulhu need viagratha
