Hiya! I’m so excited to publish this Raichu pattern, she will be part 1 of the Pikachu family series, and I’m planning on releasing the Alolan versions too! (I know Pikachu and Pichu don’t have Alolan forms, so I will design some myself xD I love designing “fake” Pokemon, so I will be having lots of fun with this project!)
This pattern will include three different variants for Raichu:
♡ Standard – larger, more detailed, more realistic
♡ Chibi – smaller, cuter and keychain sized
♡ Mimikyu – derpy, imitation Pokemon, keychain sized
So, without further ado, let’s get crocheting!
Materials:
3.5mm crochet hook
2x 10mm safety eyes
8ply yarn – yellow, orange, brown, white
Felt – yellow, brown, white
Stuffing, scissors, yarn needle
Abbreviations
Mc – magic circle
Sc – single crochet
Inc – increase
Dec – decrease
Ch – chain
Tc1, TR– turning chain 1, turn piece around
Slst – slipstitch
Hdc – half double crochet
Sk – skip
FO, LT – finish off, leave tail for sewing
