Pikachu Amigurumi Pattern
One of my friends asked me to make a Pikachu for their co-worker. They wanted a little guy that could sit on their desk and be inconspicuous. I've made Pikachu dolls before and they were rather big so I came up with this pattern! Unless otherwise stated, work in continuous rounds. Also, I assume that you have basic knowledge in crochet. If not there are many tutorials on YouTube. Good luck!

Assembly:
1) Attach the head to the body with the tail from the body. I just weaved in and out of each piece with the tail. Ensure the opening is in the bottom centre of the head. Firmly stuff the body before completely sewing openings closed.
2) Sew the ears with the yarn tails as positioned in the above photo. Stuff the ears firmly to give them the correct shape. I used the yarn tail and whip stitched the ear. It may help to pin it in place before sewing them on. Ensure to stuff the ears firmly before sewing the openings closed. 3) Use red felt to create the cheeks. Cut 2 red circles and either sew or needle felt them onto the cheeks. 4） Use black yarn to create the mouth. I made the 'W' shape by first inserting the yarn into the head from the back and out through where the mouth begins. Next a inserted the needle 3 stitches over, then pulled the needle out in the middle of the yarn and down 1 stitch. I made a loop around the first length of yarn and pulled in to make the V' shape. I repeated this process again to make the full mouth. I then fastened off both ends of yarn and hid them in the head. 5) I ended up embroidering the nose with black yarn. Black felt can also be used to create the nose. The nose is a triangular shape and can either be sewn on or needle felted.

6) Attach the arms to the body with the tails from each piece. I used a whip stitch again. Pin the limbs in the desired position before attaching. 7) Attach the feet onto the bottom of the legs with the yarn tails. Ensure they are positioned correctly by pinning them into position before sewing. I used a whip stitch to attach them. 8) Attach the tail to the back of the doll. Ensure it is in-between both legs. 9) Attach stripes to the back of the doll. Ensure the bigger stripe goes above the smaller stripe. Center both stripes to the doll. Now it's complete!
