Minccino Plushie

This is a plushie I made of Minccino from Pokemon Black and White versions. I uploaded him as amigurumi, but there are a few parts of him that don't really fall under that, but he's a crochet plushie anyway, so you get the idea.

Minccino is one of my favorite new pokemon, so I just had to make a doll of him. And the little jingle bell around his neck, well, I just added that for extra cuteness.

Also, I recommend making the ear fluff out of felt, and not unraveled yarn, but I didn't have any grey felt, so I had to do it that way for now. I plan to replace it whenever I get some.

Anyway, I did take the time to write a pattern for this little guy too, so here it is. I don't care if you want to save this for your own personal use, that's fine. Also, if you want to try making it for yourself, don't be embarrassed to show me how it turns out! It would actually help me out some, so I would know if my patterns are easy to follow and all that, and if they turn out like mine do. Also, if you would link to my pattern if you use it, that's always appreciated. Anyway, enough about that, here's the pattern.

*Note: the bottom part of the ears, and the feet might be a litte tricky, but just read the directions carefully, and it shouldn't be that hard.

Minccino Plushie Pattern

Abbreviations:
sc=single crochet
inc=increase (2 sc in next sc)
dec=decrease
hdc=half double crochet (there's very few of these)
st=stitch
ch=chain
hk=hook
rnd=round

I never really use gauge, so it's not that important, just use a hook that's good with the size of yarn you're using.

Materials:
White yarn
Light Grey yarn
Pink (ears), grey (fur), and dark grey/black (eyes) felt scraps
Yarn needle for sewing
Polyester Stuffing

(number in ( ) at end of rnd indicates how many stitches you have in each round)
