Yellow Pikmin!!

I finally finished this guy!! He is a yellow Pikmin, from the Nintendo game of the same name. I just think these guys are so cute, so why not crochet one? If I ever get a chance, I'll make a set of three; a red one with the nose and a bud, and a blue one with a mouth and a flower!! I had to photograph him in front of the cork board for lack of a better idea, but I'll take a better picture of him outside tomorrow. He longs to be with the trees anyway... :-) I'll also post the pattern, as soon as I get it into a legible format.
