I gave birth to him. (I try to avoid to sew in these lose end 😔😔)

Wait!!!

Look at him

Him!!!!

I made him. He can stand upright. Sometimes.

yea..

It was surprisingly difficult to get Piplup's anatomy right, despite using the 3D model from Pokemon GO.

Progress pics:

Started 2022-02, completed 2023-06, finishing touches 2025-02. Free-hand crochet, no pattern.

Cotton yarn (feet and beak), polyester blend (body), and some sewing yarn (eyes). Garden wire sewn into the feet for stability.

I defined the midline using pins and some colorful scrap yarn (strongly recommend)

I had initially pulled the area around his eyes closer together to make them curve inwards (like eye sockets). I find it gives plushies a cuter face, defines the nose, and can help in making the eyes face the right direction. When I realised his head was canonically spherical, I cut the string between the eyes, and he was born. I spent so much time making sure he was perfect that I didn't want to leave such a tiny mistake. After almost 2 years of looking at his uncanny blank stare, I went back and redid the eyes. And he's perfect. To conclude this essay, sometimes you have to trust your gut instead of sticking to the reference.

I’ve been working on this on and off since late December and she is finally ✨finished✨

She’s the biggest thing I’ve crocheted so far I think! (She’s 23 inches long, 10 inches wide and 14 inches tall)
