Favorite Little Princess

It wouldn't really be a Snorlax unless it was really big, right? I mean HUUUUUGE! It's a whopping 18 inches tall.  ©Favorite Little Princess This free pattern is from Miahandcrafter  and it's a super easy to follow.  I'm not thrilled with the face part, however.  I think if I were to do it again, I would go up a hook for that part.  It just didn't come out as big as I would like to cover the stuffed areas of the head.   View this post on Instagram Finally fished this monstrous Snorlax at 10:30 last night. The boy loves it. #pokemon #crochet #amigurumi A post shared by Deedra Sukrungruang (@favoritelittleprincess) on Jul 22, 2020 at 5:42am PDT Both dad and boy love to use this monster as a pillow.  It's perfectly plumped for resting on while watching Pokémon on TV. I had to get more stuffing to fill this one out, but it was worth it.  We're down to our last two for the summer - but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't making more.

 At first, I didn't think I would like this one.  It just seemed to plain and simple.  However, after finishing it, this has become my favorite of all the Pokémon I have made this summer.  @FavoriteLittlePrincess Don't let this kid's face fool you, he loves Oshawott.  He was just hot and tired from running around. We decided to have an impromptu photo shoot at the Schnormeier Gardens . It's only open for one month a year, so we just had to go!  @FavoriteLittlePrincess I'm not sure why it looks so much bigger in his arms here, but Oshawott is the perfect cuddle size. @FavoriteLittlePrincess I don't think mine looks exactly like the picture from the pattern, but it's got it's own little personality. I just love it! WolfDreamer Pattern View this post on Instagram #Pokémon number 11. Oshawott is my favorite so far. It’s super cute. Needed it’s own photo shoot. #crochet #kingdomofra A post shared by Deedra Sukrungruang (@favoritelittl

This time it was the man requesting a Pokémon and not the boy.  I had to ask several times who the heck he was talking about because I had never heard of this one before.  Scorbunny is from the new Pokémon Journeys show on Netflix.  Image from pokemon.com I found this pattern on Ravelry from designer Jessie Edwards.  Of course, the face gave me the worst trouble. At least I'm consistent.   View this post on Instagram Scorbunny! #pokemon number 10. #kingdomofra #crochet A post shared by Deedra Sukrungruang (@favoritelittleprincess) on Jun 22, 2020 at 2:21pm PDT Oh well, he's loved and not a total mess. I'll take that as a win. Plus, I've discovered that I really like working with Caron Simply Soft for amigurumis.  It doesn't stretch as much so it holds it's shape better.   Next time - my favorite of the bunch this summer.  Any guesses? You'll just have to wait and see!  Or, if you follow me on Instagram you already know!

 Poor Psyduck...he always has a headache.  I can relate.  Still, I think it's one of the cutest Pokémon.

Nope.  This is yet another one.  Bodhi likes to click through the patterns while I'm making one so that he can pick out the next one.  It's fine. I've gotten really used to reading these from Wolf Dreamer and I like know what to expect.   Even better when there are few pieces to sew on.  This one worked up super fast, which pleased the boy immensly.  The problem with that is that he thinks all of them should be fast.  Good thing he's cute. Next time I will introduce you to a  Pokémon from the newest series, Pokémon Journeys .

Well, this one is a little cutie.  I'm happy with most of it.  The eyes turned out great, but I'm still iffy on the mouth.  Oh well.  My little Pokémon lover thinks it's perfect so that's all that matters.  © Favorite Little Princess This is another Wolf Dreamer pattern that you can find here . I'm not sure my colors are the same, but I usually just use something close that I have on hand.  I also think the little collar on mine ended up a lot bigger.  Well, maybe just a little bigger.  This was all Red Heart worsted weight yarn and I think these amigurumi's turn out better when I use Caron Simply Soft.   View this post on Instagram Another Pokémon for the spoiled boy. Say hello to Eevee. #kingdomofra #crochet #pokemon A post shared by Deedra Sukrungruang (@favoritelittleprincess) on Jun 8, 2020 at 4:04pm PDT Our temperatures in Ohio have been dropping, so I guess I had better get a move on and finish all my summer posts.  I've been tryi

 Another little (and fast) pattern from Wolf Dreamer . Sometimes I pick which Pokémon to do next by what yarn I have on hand. Thus, little Oddish was created.  This is a great project to do while waiting, such as doctor's office or tennis lessons with the kid.  Very little material to schlep around and doesn't take up much space even when finished.  Plus, there are few limbs to sew on.  View this post on Instagram Now joining the Pokémon crew, Oddish! #kingdomofra #pokemon #crochet A post shared by Deedra Sukrungruang (@favoritelittleprincess) on Jun 4, 2020 at 6:04pm PDT Such a little cutie with his friend, Squirtle. I think they are going to be best friends! © Favorite Little Princess Who's the next Pokémon?   Subscribe to my blog to be the first to know!  

 This one was such a challenge!  I love how it turned out, however.  I tend to sew on arms, legs, and heads a little crooked, so I really utilized pins to this time to get it straight.  It's better, but not perfect.  The pattern is available as a free downloan on Ravelry from Edward Yong's Ravelry Store . The stripes gave me fits.  The rest of the pattern is pretty straight forward, but I ripped out and re-did the stripes many times.  In the end, I just tried to make it look similar and moved on.  I do love how it is able to stand on it's own.  It's stuffed pretty solidly, so if you try this one, make sure you have enough stuffing on hand.

It’s time for a Pokémon break. #pokemon #kingdomofra #crochet A post shared by Deedra Sukrungruang (@favoritelittleprincess) on Jun 3, 2020 at 1:18pm PDT ©Favorite Little Princess So, if you are looking for a challenge, I highly suggest trying this one.

 I love free patterns. No really.  Not just I'm cheap frugal, but because it gives me the opportunity to check out how the artist presents their pattern without investing in it.  I hate being disappointed, especially if I have paid for it.  Give me a few patterns to try you out and if you are good, I'll definitely buy from you.  I've been seeing more and more free patterns out there with the option to buy a PDF version, which I think is spectacular.  There are also some out there with donation links for their free patterns.  Please, if you make something from a free pattern, consider donating or purchasing from them.  Support these amazing artists! That being said, when I found Squirtle , I found my favorite Pokémon artist.   WolfDreamer has a ton of free patterns that are spectacularly written as well as a shop "Off the Hook".  I haven't made every pattern....yet...but I'm getting there!   View this post on Instagram Squirtle done.
