Pikachu ("Pokemon") free pattern

في

 


Pikachu – character from popular franchise “Pokemon” that is managed by The Pokémon Company, a Japanese consortium between Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures.

This toy was crocheted with “Iris” yarn. This is 100% cotton, 150m/25g. To create a toy with a height of 9.5 cm you must crochet with single yarn using a 1.00 mm hook. To crochet the cheeks you should use a 1.25 mm hook. The stuffing material used in this toy is polyester wadding.


Materials: 

• 1.00 and 1.25 mm hook

• Yellow,brown, black and red yarn • Sewing needle

• Stuffing material

• A piece of plastic

 


Abbreviations:

  • Ch chain
  • Sc single crochet
  • Dc double crochet HDc half double crochet
  • Tr treble crochet INCDc increase with Dc
  • INCTr increase with Tr
  • Sl slip stitch
  • INC increase 
  • INVDEC invisible decrease

Tip 1:
The toy must be crocheted with tight stitches, to be sure that there won’t be any holes through which stuffing material can be seen.

Tip 2
To keep track of the beginning of the row, use a marker. Pin marker to the last loop of the row. Every new row must be finished with a loop at the marker.

All amigurumi toys are crocheted with tight stitches. Avoid small holes when stretching crochet fabric, if there are some tiny holes, use a smaller size hook. To avoid seams, all details are crocheted in a spiral without slip stitch and lifting loops. There is a chance that you will lose the beginning of the row; to avoid this, use a marker. It can be a colored pin or thread of contrasting color.

You can cut out a piece of cardboard or plastic and place it inside the tail to make it hold its form better, but it is not necessary. Cut out squares of needed size, adjusting them to the tail (Image 50) and put them into the holes that were left before while crocheting the detail (Images 51 and 52). Sew the holes keeping the color (Images 53 and 54). Don’t sew the most bottom hole (which is on the brown side of the tail).
