Crochet Chain Chomp

The picture doesn't do this project justice.

This is the huge project I've had under wraps for a while, which I called Operation BIGBARK. This is by far the most complex crochet piece I've done to date, because it is a lot more complexity than it looks to have. I got the idea when I went back to play Super Mario 64 one day, and thought he'd be perfect to make a playset of.

The chain is fully detachable from the grass, and the entire thing is made of yarn. I worked on it over small sections of two or three weeks. Most of the stitches are either single or double.

Chomp himself is about six inches in diameter, and about six inches tall as well and the eyes and pupils were made as separate pieces. The chain is close to a foot and each link was made as a separate piece. The grass is over a foot on each side, and the log is about 2 inches tall.

He was supposed to have a mouth, but I spent weeks fighting with the mouth to no success. Either way, I still love how he looks.
