ilomilo is an absolutely adorable puzzle game the kids have found a demo for on the xbox. The world is whimsical. The music is delightful. The main characters are altogether sweet. Even the purpose of the game - two best friends trying to find each other because they are happiest together - is endearing! Of course you need to have these characters recreated to play with!! And what better medium than crochet??

Insert pipe cleaner up through body and through magic circle middle. After pulling through as much length out the top as you'd need to give him a cute curly, trim the pipe cleaner so you will have an inch more length out the bottom.
Using the yarn needle, pull the yarn from the side you F.O. to the opposite side and through a stitch.
Use this as a podium for the pipe cleaner to wrap around.
Stuff with fiber fill. Try to put 1/2 the stuffing behind and in front of the pipe cleaner so it stays near the middle.
