SPHEAL THE LOVE ENGLISH PATTERN

Spheal the Love

Finally! I know - it's been forever.

This guy is smaller than most of the pokemon dolls I've made. I really had very little of the blue yarn left, and I was wanting a small and easy project to 'test' my wrist out before diving head-first into crocheting again. I think I'll be ok if I take it easy and don't try to do too much at once, at least so far.

This particular doll will be well suited to the 'advanced beginner' at crochet - one who's got a few easy projects under their belt, but looking for some 'new' techniques to do. Kind of like line dancing - and adding a little extra swish to your skirt when you spin.... it's not hard to do but sure makes you look good on the dance floor :D

Anyway... to the pattern, and as always, if you notice any typoes or just find yourself a little confused, post or email me, I'll get back to you as soon as I can :D

MATERIALS:

WW yarn in blue and white

G Hook

Fiberfill

10.5 mm safety eyes (or similar sized shoe button or felt scraps in black) Scraps of white felt

Yarn needle for weaving in ends

NOTES:

Gauge isn't very important for this project.

This particular doll is rather small, making it a quick and easy project to accomplish in a day or even an evening watching a movie. The small number of 'parts' and the easy nature of the construction makes this an excellent choice for the 'advanced' beginner - one who has a couple of simpler projects under the belt and is ready to stretch out with a couple of new techniques.

Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row indicates how many stitches should be in each round or row.

I would recommend that you join your rounds when crocheting the 'body' of the doll instead of using the 'continuous' rounds method commonly used in amigurumi. If you do use the continuous rounds method, your color changes will be very evident and likely uneven.
