I crocheted my 156th Pokémon! This huge Donphan plush for a commission. I’m always happy to bring someone’s favorite obscure Pokémon to life! 💜

Pattern coming…when I have the energy to transcribe all 25+ pages of longhand notes 😰

In my house, every Friday is JoJo Friday. Yeehaw! 🐰 Thanks to everyone who sent their condolences and checked on me and Faziu after Linfa’s passing. It’s been a really difficult week for both of us, coping with the loss of our best friend. Faziu needed lots of playtime and snuggles to regain her appetite, and I needed to make this silly video of her Johnny cosplay. ⭐️ It’s the funny bunny moments that get me through the worst of times.

Seeya, Sprigatito! 😻 That makes 155 Pokémon that I made so far for my Crochet Dex challenge.

Every time I finish a plush, I take cute pro-shot photos before sending it off. $1 Patrons get access to the full unwatermarked photo sets. I captured Spriggy exploring a tree and sidewalk plants in the warm spring weather. Go check it out!

🐰 New Crochet Pattern! 🐰

Since this is my birth month, I want to release patterns of purple Pokémon. And because I love bunnies, here’s my Wigglytuff amigurumi pattern (Shiny depicted)! Yoom-tah!

This is a Medium (Level 3) pattern that requires some needle sculpting to make its odd wedge-shaped tail. Other than that odd quirk of a tail, Wigglytuff is a pretty straightforward plush worked in the round with simple shapes and stitches.

$5+ Patrons get this pattern for free with their subscription. However, anyone can make a one-time purchase of $10 to download it.

I can't wait to see what you make!

This is a Beginner (Level 1) crochet pattern. It requires some very minor needle sculpting.

Pokopia, anyone? I personally haven't played it yet, but I think the concept is adorable. In honor of the post-apocalyptic cozy urban planning game, here's my Ditto amigurumi pattern to make a squishy slime friend!

$5+ Patrons get this pattern for free with their subscription. Everyone else can make a one-time purchase of $5 to download it.

Ditto has a butt, heheh. I always take 360 views of my plushes. It wasn’t until now that I started making them into animation frames.

Beginner-friendly crochet pattern is on my Patreon! $5+ Supporters get it for free!
