Eye (Make 2)

Wing (Make 2)

Sew to either side of body.

Finishing

Cut eye pupils out of black felt as shown and glue to eyes. Sew dark blue thread above eyes for eyebrows.

For each leg, fold 1 pipe cleaner in half, twisting to hold it together. Insert around stitch on the bottom of body and fold so that one side is longer than the other (the side that has the pointed ends should be the shorter one). Bend the shorter side into an L shape and then fold the pointed tip back so it forms a small loop. Flatten and twist together, if needed. With the longer side, bend so that the end passes the top. Where the other side meets the main part (the part that's stuck to the body), bend the longer side back. Then bend again to the main part. You should have 3 parts sticking out. Twist 3 pieces once. Repeat for second leg.

Note: I apologize if the feet are confusing; if you have any questions, let me know. I'll try to put a picture tutorial as soon as I can.



*Moose and Zee is a product of Nickelodeon.

Larvitar


I finally got around to making WolfDreamer's awesome Raichu (though I still haven't managed to do her Pikachu, strangely enough)and as I was working on it, I kept thinking to myself: this would work really well for a Larvitar. So, that's exactly what I did (with her gracious permission of course). Most of the main parts are the same (see below for further instructions), I just added some details. I hope you like it and thank you to her for the inspiration!

Materials

Yarn in green (sample used Red Heart frosty green), with small amounts white, red and black
Black and red felt
Stuffing

Basic head/body, arms, legs and feet


All of these steps are from the Raichu with some slight changes (Before you go there, read my little explanation first). Obviously, the main difference is the color--substitute the gold with green for the body. For the arms and legs, instead of brown and gold or just gold, you want plain green, and for the feet, you want white instead of brown and green instead of gold(change color one row earlier than instructed). Otherwise, follow her instructions to the letter, except for the stuffing of the feet: since Larvitar's feet are a little more rounded than Raichu's, you can overstuff them a little bit so they look nice and plump. Also you might want to shape the nose part a little more so his head sticks out over his body more. So follow the link (Raichu) and do the first four sections as indicated, with my minor changes, sew it all together and then come back here. I'll be waiting!

V

Finished? Great pattern, right? (I bow down to her as my Pokemon amigurumi guru). Now to the details.

Head spike


With green, ch 9
Rnd 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch sp across, make 2 sc in last ch sp and turn to other side, sc across other side and join (16 sc)
Rnd 2: sc across 6 sc, 2 sc in each of next 2 sc, sc in remaining sc around (18 sc)
Rnd 3: repeat Rnd 2 (20 sc)
Rnd 4: repeat Rnd 2 (22 sc)
Rnd 5: repeat Rnd 2 (24 sc)
Rnd 6-18: sc in each sc around
Fasten off.

Flatten the spike out. Fold the sloped side and the straight side inward slightly to make a tiny V(if you've ever done origami, there's a fold that's sort of like what I'm trying to describe--if anyone knows what it's called and can explain it better, please help). Sew all thicknesses together so there is a straight edge on each side(you still want the front to be diagonal, just a little more even). Sew to top of head.

Belly Diamond


With red, ch 2
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook (1 sc)
Row 2: 2 sc in sc (2 sc)
Row 3: 2 sc in each sc across (4 sc)
Row 4: 2 sc in first sc, sc across, 2 sc in last sc (6 sc)
Row 5-7: repeat row 4 (12 sc at end of Row 7)
Row 8: sc in each sc across
Row 9: sc dec in first 2 sc, sc across, sc dec in last 2 sc (10 sc)
Row 10-12: repeat Row 9 (4 sc at end of Row 12)
Row 13: sc dec in 2 sc, repeat across (2 sc)
Row 14: sc dec in remaining sc (1 ac)
Fasten off.
Sew to front of body, with the top point about level with the arms.

Body Holes (Make 4)

With black, ch 2
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook (1 sc)
Row 2: 2 sc in sc (2 sc)
Row 3: 2 sc in each sc across (4 sc)
Row 4: sc dec in first 2 sc, sc in last 2 sc (2 sc)
Row 5: sc dec (1 sc)
Row 6: sc (1 sc)
Fasten off.

Sew to body, one on each side of the big diamond in the front and two next to the arms on the back.

Tail


With green, ch 2
Rnd 1: 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (6 sc)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12 sc)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (18 sc)
Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (24 sc)
Rnd 5: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (30 sc)
Rnd 6: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (36 sc)
Rnd 6: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (36 sc)
Rnd 7: sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (42 sc)
Rnd 8: sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (48 sc)
Rnd 9-10: sc in each sc around
Row 11: sc across 6 sc, turn, leaving remaining sc unworked (6 sc)
Row 12-18: sc in each sc across
Fasten off.
In next unworked sc on Rnd 10, join green and repeat Row 11-18
Repeat this last step 6 times more (8 parts in total, with no space in between)

Middle

With green, ch 2
Rnd 1: 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (6 sc)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12 sc)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (18 sc)
Rnd 4-8: sc in each sc around
Fasten off.
Stuff and sew to tail.

Placement and sewing


Sew tail to back of body in between the body holes as shown.


Note: As you can see in the picture above, the "leaves" (for lack of a better word) can flop, you you might want to put a little fabric stiffener on them to hold their position.

Eye (Make 2)


White

With white, ch 7
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, and each ch sp across (6 sc)
Row 2: sc dec in first 2 sc, sc in each sc across (5 sc)
Row 3: sc across, sc dec in last 2 sc (4 sc)
Row 4: sc dec in first 2 sc, sc in each sc across (3 sc)
Sl st along slope side edge
Fasten off.

Eye Markings and Border

Join black in corner of eye
Row 1: sc across 2 sc, turn (2 sc)
Row 2: sc in each sc across
Row 3: sc dec across (1 sc)
Border: sl st up side of previous 3 rows and the side of the white part of the eye, ch 3, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and next ch, sl st along slope side edge, ch 1, sl st back to the black part and join to ch sp of first sc on Row 1
Fasten off.

Note: it's going to be a little difficult to get the 2nd eye markings in the direction you want, so it's probably better to do it in parts, fastening off and joining in spots. Just make sure that the ch 3 is in the top outside corner (see picture below) and the ch 1 in the bottom inside corner.

Face details


Sew eyes to face. Embroider eyebrows above eyes and mouth under them slightly under the nose part.

Finishing

Sew any remaining pieces that I may have forgotten to mention. Embroider two lines across the belly diamond. Cut pupils out of felt and glue to eye.

Tentomon



Here's the one out of at least the half dozen Digimon I've been trying to make that I was actually able to finish. As you can see, it's a bit lopsided since I'm a bad girl and never measure, but who wants a doll that's completely perfect? ^_______^


Materials

Pink, black and tannish/yellowish (yeah, I know, it's hard to describe; I just used a sort of off-white--shall henceforth be known as "whatever color") yarn
Small amounts, gray, green, orange
Stuffing
Coins to weigh down legs (optional)


Head




Note: This is technically not the same as what i did; I was trying to go for an oval shape, but it got a little complicated and it ended up not being much different than if I had just used the following instructions--at least I think so. If it doesn't work, let me know, but I think it should.

With pink, ch 2
Rnd 1: 8 sc in 2nd ch from hook (8 sc)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (16 sc)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around (24 sc)
Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around (32 sc)
Rnd 5: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around (40 sc)
Rnd 6-12: sc in each sc around
Begin stuffing, continue as you go along
Rnd 13: sc in next 3 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc, repeat around (32 sc)
Rnd 14: sc in next 2 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc, repeat around (24 sc)
Rnd 15: sc dec in next sc, sc dec in next 2 sc, repeat around (16 sc)
Rnd 16: sc dec around (8 sc)
Fasten off, weaving yarn through to close.

Mouth

With whatever color, ch 9
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch sp across (8 sc)
Row 2-4: sc in each sc across
Row 5: sc dec in first 2 sc, sc across, sc dec in last 2 sc (6 sc)
Fasten off.
Sew to head. Embroider a line exactly in the middle.

Mouth Thingies (Make 6)

With gray, ch 5
Row 1: sc (or sl st if you want thinner) in 2nd ch from hook and each ch sp across (4 sc)
Fasten off.
Sew three onto either side of mouth line.

Eyes (Make 2)

With green, ch 2
Rnd 1: 8 sc in 2nd ch from hook (8 sc)
Rnd 2: sc in 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around (10 sc)
Fasten off.
Wait until next pieces are completed before sewing to head.

Eye Thingies (Make 4)

With black, ch 3
Fasten off.
Sew above mouth, two on each side. Sew eyes onto head, overlapping these pieces slightly.

Antennae (Make 2)

With orange, ch 13
Row 1: sc in each of 2 ch sp, 2 sc in next ch sp, sc in each of next 3 ch sp, sc dec in next 2 ch sp, sc in each of next 2 ch sp, sc dec in last 2 ch sp (11 sc)
Fasten off.
Sew to head.


Wings/Body



With pink, ch 2
Rnd 1: 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (6 sc)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12 sc)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (18 sc)
Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around until last 3 sc, sc in remaining sc (23 sc)
Note: Whereas a usual increase pattern is repeating 6 times (or 8 depending on what number you start with), here there are only 5 repeats. The last 3 sc of Rnd 4 will never increase in order to have a flat belly. So you'll always have 3 sc extra. Don't worry about that, Rnd 11 will give you an extra sc to make it circular so you can finish as normal. I know it seems a little confusing--let me know if you have questions.
Rnd 5: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around, sc in last 3(28 sc)
Rnd 6: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around sc in last 3 (33 sc)
Rnd 7: sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around, sc in last 3 (38 sc)
Rnd 8: sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around, sc in last 3 (43 sc)
Rnd 9: sc in next 7 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around, sc in last 3 (48 sc)
Rnd 10: sc in next 8 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around, sc in last 3 (53 sc)
Rnd 11: sc in each sc around, 2 sc in last sc (54 sc)
Rnd 12-23: sc in each sc around
Begin stuffing
Rnd 24: sc in each of next 7 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc (48 sc)
Rnd 25: sc in next 6 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (42 sc)
Rnd 26: sc in next 5 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (36 sc)
Rnd 27: sc in next 4 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (30 sc)
Rnd 28: sc in next 3 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (24 sc)
Rnd 29: sc in next 2 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (18 sc)
Rnd 30: sc in next 1 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (12 sc)
Rnd 31: sc dec around (6 sc)
Fasten off.
Sew to head, flat side down.

Sew to legs.


Finishing



Sew any loose parts that I didn't account for (I don't think there's any, but just in case). Add glue to hold things in place if desired (as you can tell by the picture, the line is not glued, so that's why it keeps falling to the side). Go digital!

Demi-Veemon



Just a quick little Digimon project that was easy to do while I struggle with larger ones. His head is basically my Koromon pattern, which, upon looking it over, was really very poorly written. Not such a big deal, considering it was my first one, but I'll definitely revise it when I have leisure. That being said, you can just take off the body, hands and feet of this little guy and use that.

Note: Some parts of this pattern may be slightly wrong as I wrote it in 50 million places in my notebook and can't seem to find all of them. So if something seems wrong, let me know and I'll try to fix it.

Materials

Blue and white yarn
Red, black, white and pink felt
Stuffing

Head

With blue, ch 2, 7 sc in 2nd chain from hook (7 sc)
Rnd 2: 2sc in each sc, (14 sc)

Rnd 4-6: sc in each sc
Rnd 7: sc in next 2 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc, repeat around (21 sc)
Rnd 8: sc in next sc, sc dec in next 2 sc, repeat around (14 sc)
Rnd 9: sc dec around (7 sc)
Fasten off and weave closed.

Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd chain from hook (6 sc)

Starly



This is actually a project that I finished faster than I expected. I love bird Pokemon like Pidgeotto and Pidove, but all I had to make one with was this darker gray, so I made a Starly. It had never been my favorite before, but now I love her (well, mine is a her anyway). I hope you have as much fun making it as I did.
