Oshawott Amigurumi Pattern
So excited to finally share my Oshawott pattern with you!
Before we get started with the pattern I just wanted to remind you all to please tag me in your makes over on Instagram as I would love to share them in my stories! Unfortunately some of the notifications do get lost so I miss some of your posts when only mentioned in your comments. So please remember to either tag me in the photo so that it appears on my profile, or use #loopycathrineamigurumi, that way I can easily find your post.
I am so grateful whenever I see your makes from my patterns! So thank you all so very much!
Now.. let’s make an Oshawott, shall we?
Oshawott is approximately 8.5 cm tall, and 4cm in width (7cm from arm to arm), and approximately 4.5cm from front to back (including the shell, not the tail).
Weight: 27 grams (this includes all materials used to make Oshawott.
Assemble the amigurumi in the same order the pattern is written. If you’ve made any of my patterns before, you may have already read that I like to screenshot a few pictures from PokemonGo which I refer back to. I would highly recommend giving this a go as I think this is a great reference for when you start piecing the amigurumi together.
Once all the pieces are crocheted, pin them in place before you start sewing. Just the tiniest adjustment of one piece can make a huge difference in the finished item.
As always, if you have any questions about the pattern pop them in the comments! Please be as specific as you can, as that will help me work out where the problem is.
I usually reserve this next little blurb for the end of my pattern, but just a little reminder in case you’re one of the many that probably don’t read that far:
THANK YOU & ENJOY!

Using a darning needle feed the thread from the side piece through another side piece (two pieces now attached together), continue and feed the thread through the middle piece (which is slightly bigger), and finish with the last to side pieces. Push the pieces together and place it around Oshawotts neck, with the middle piece placed in the middle of the back making sure the remaining pieces are spread evenly around the neck leaving a small gap at the front. When you’re ready to attach the piece around the next a stitch or two on either side of the collar onto the body will do.
