Ever had some leftover gray yarn and wasn't sure what to do with it? OR wanted to crochet something unique but cute? Well, I gotchu!

I finally got around to publishing my adorable (if I say so myself) Chibi Giratina :3

He's honestly so small and precious, just take a look at him next to a Standard Giratina amigurumi, he's like half the size!

Anyways, without further ado, let's get crocheting!

Materials:

3.5mm crochet hook

2x 10mm safety eyes

8ply yarn - dark gray, gray, yellow

Felt - red, yellow; black

Polyester stuffing

Yarn needle, scissors, stitch marker Optional: Fabric glue (I use Sullivan’s Craft+Hobby Glue) Optional: Acrylic fabric paint: red, black (I use Mont Marte’s Two Seasons)

Abbreviations:

mc - magic circle

sc - single crochet

hdc - half double crochet

Inc - increase

dec - (invisible) decrease - decreasing on outer hoops only!

FO, LT - finish off, leave tail for sewing

A few words before starting: The head is the most complex part of this pattern, it uses:

* 2 different stitches (sc and hdc)

* 3 colour changes Essentially, the “crown” part is yellow and the half-double crochet at the FRONT, on TOP of his face. The “face” is dark gray, it will be the front half of the head; the “back” and “top” of his head is light gray - kinda like a helmet!

(Please refer to the diagram on the left)
