Teen Crocheter Spends 114 Hours Building Life-Size Twitch Streamer Replica

When the CEO of Waterpark Simulator needed a thank-you gift for Twitch streamer CaseOh, he turned to a 19-year-old from Clovis, California. What Jasmin, known online as TheCrochetGinger, ultimately delivered after 130-plus hours of work was a crocheted colossus: seven feet tall, seven feet wide, weighing more than 180 pounds, with a head alone tipping the scale at 16 pounds.

The project's 114-hour update marked the clearest sign she was in the final stretch. At that point, only a weigh-in involving a duck inflatable remained. Getting there required a methodical approach that crocheters tackling oversized builds would recognize immediately: constructing in modular sections, tracking yarn consumption by weight rather than yardage to account for the piece's accumulating mass, and scheduling near-daily video updates as structural accountability rather than pure content creation. Burnout on a 130-hour commission is a real risk, and documenting each session publicly creates a rhythm that keeps the hook moving.

At the 89-hour milestone, the legs and headphones still needed completing — the two components that would bring the silhouette fully in line with CaseOh's recognizable on-stream look. Progress videos posted to Jasmin's TikTok drew enormous engagement throughout the build. Day 13 alone generated 676,700 likes, a signal of how closely her 1.1 million TikTok followers (who have collectively handed out 30.2 million likes across her account) were tracking every session. Her nearly 300,000 Instagram fans followed the build there as well.

The commission traces back to a smaller viral moment. In August, Jasmin posted a mini CaseOh plushie she had designed herself from scratch — a five-day build that came out weighing almost five pounds, heavy enough on its own for a standard plushie. That clip went viral, caught the attention of the Waterpark Simulator team (a game CaseOh had been actively promoting on stream), and the CEO reached out with a commission for a full life-size version. Jasmin even released her own CaseOh charm patterns for sale so other crocheters could follow along while she tackled the main event.

The weight management challenge on a project like this cannot be overstated. CaseOh's 16-pound crocheted head required its own internal structural logic before joining the body. Modular construction keeps individual pieces workable and allows for weight distribution checks before final assembly — trying to crochet a 180-pound object as a single continuous piece would make late-stage corrections nearly impossible. Yarn consumption at this scale also defies standard label estimates, making weight-based tracking per section more reliable than yardage counts.

CaseOh, whose real first name is Case, is a 27-year-old from Dallas, Arkansas who won Content Creator of the Year at the 2024 Streamer Awards and counts more than 5.8 million Twitch followers. He unwrapped the finished plushie on a live stream and his reaction went viral. His mother, known online as @caseohs_mom, celebrated the reveal alongside fans on social media.

Jasmin filed her application with Guinness World Records for the largest crochet ever made. At 180 pounds and seven feet in every direction, the case she submitted should be difficult to dispute.
