Designer: Hooked by Boo
Do you already have a collection of crochet Pokemon? Now you can add a new one to it, and it will be Ivysaur. A body in a soft blue color and a bright pink bud on the back will make this amigurumi toy a wonderful addition to your collection or a cute gift for Pokémon lovers.
To make this pattern you will need teal or blue, green, and cobalt blue yarn, a crochet hook of any size, safety eyes, and fiberfill.
The stitches used in this tutorial are simple and easy, like single crochet stitches, half double crochet, double crochet, and some crochet techniques like increasing and decreasing.
This tutorial starts by working on the body and head, then the legs, the leaves, the flower bud, and the little details, then assembles all the parts at the end. It’s super fun and relaxing to make.
