SQUIRTLE ENGLISH PATTERN

SQUIRTLE

This is a little squirtle I recently finished for the girls. It took me longer than usual, due to the fact I have a bad infection in my eye, which causes my eye to water constantly, making everything blurry all the time. It should clear up in a few days but it's been really a pain trying to work with blurry eyes. LOL (if you click on the picture, it should give you the full sized image) Here's the pattern, and like with the Pichu, my pattern tester is still out of town for at least another week possibly more, so this one hasn't been tested by anyone but me. I've tried to make sure it's complete and error free, but if you do run into anything at all, let me know and I'll make changes asap. :)

Enjoy!

Squirtle

MATERIALS:

WW yarn approx 3 oz of cornflower blue, 1.5 ounces of med. chocolate, 1.5 ounces of tan. Very small amt. of white

F Hook

Felt scraps in black and white

sewing thread to match the felt

small amt of black embroidery thread (although a doubled length of black sewing thread works well)

needles for sewing and weaving in yarn ends Fiberfill

NOTES:

Gauge isn't very important here. Just make sure that your needle, yarn and tension combine to leave fairly tight and consistent stitches so that the fiberfill won't come through. I also recommend that you use the 'invisible decrease' (working decrease stitches in front loops only). It's not entirely invisible, but it does reduce or eliminate the gaps that regular decreases create when working in rounds.

Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate how many total stitches should be in that round/row.

This doll ends up about 6 inches high if materials and hook size that are listed are used. If you use a different sized hook or yarns, your doll will be of a different size
