FREE crochet GIR pattern

Doom Doom Doom Doom
ok I know other people have made a crochet Gir but I haven't been able to find a pattern. Plus I'm never happy unless I do it myself. DIY all the way. so here are some pics. I didn't have the lighter grey that is why he looks a bit dark.



This is the 2nd Gir I made. I made the shoulders bigger, I crocheted around the feet, & I found some grey yarn that was the perfect color :) The pattern below has all the changes in it.

ok you want the pattern??
