Needle Noodles Crocheted Curiosities: Heed the Call of Cthulhu!

Aaron Burgess — Mon, 04 May 2009 15:30:00 GMT

Betcha never thought H.P. Lovecraft's gargantuan cosmic horror could make such a cute kids' toy, huh? Well, in the hands of Etsy crochet-master Needle Noodles, Cthulhu ($15) is just one of the bizarro-world entities that've translated to real-world playthings.

Made with a cotton/acrylic blend yarn and filled with polyester fiberfill, the thing-that-cannot-be-described measures around 3.5" tall and comes complete with glow-in-the-dark polymer-clay eyes. As with most of Needle Noodles' goodies, it's not recommended for kids under 3 due to small or breakable parts, but the seller says you can get in touch to inquire about other items that might be better suited to littler ones.

Speaking of which, Needles Noodles' creations don't begin and end with the ghastly: From snuggly manatees to play sushi, there's a whole range of crocheted cuteness available at the seller's Etsy shop.
