Hello, everyone!
I've slowly been going through my most popular patterns to update them and correct any mistakes. If you find an issue in any of my patterns, feel free to leave a comment and I'll correct it when I have time!
Each of these next three patterns are made using Bernat Blanket yarn. I suggest that you use the recommended yarns, as I haven't tested with any other materials or weights.
If you do try out a different yarn, be sure to let me know how it went in the comments!

At this point I made the flame for the tail. I took acrylic yarn in orange, yellow, and red, and unraveled it giving it a looser, softer look, I tied a large knot in it, and put it through the magic loop in the tip of the tail. If the loop was still too loose I tightened it at this point.
I then sewed the tail on, and cut the beige felt to size to cover the tummy and underside of the tail. Then I just glued it on.

For the legs after the increase round is it sc around 2 times or just 2 sc?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the ridiculously late response! It's SC around for 2 full rounds
DeleteHow many skeins of the bernat blanket yarn did you use for this, the squirtle, and bulbasaur?
ReplyDeleteOne skein per plushie tends to be enough!
DeleteHi .. it's so beautiful 🥰
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to crochet but my nephew's favorite pokemon is Charmander, so I want to make him one for Christmas. A question about he pattern - are the rounds continuous or do you close each round with a slip stich and chain once to start the new round? Thanks!
Beaautiful pattern! Thank you for sharing! I figured out a way to crochet the tummy section which was super cool. The last round of the legs should be R10! It says R9 2x. Also it would’ve been extremely helpful if you had placed stitch count after every round. Other than that this was a cute pattern. I recommend only stuffing the bottom half of the legs. “Feet” if you will.
