Chubby Pikachu Pokemon Crochet Pattern Step by Step

Chubby Pikachu Pokemon Crochet Pattern Step by Step (2)

Hello everyone after a long break. Today I will share a very chubby amigurumi Pikachu pattern. This original design stands out especially with its chubby appearance and the legs made using the bobble stitch technique. After making the body of the Pikachu amigurumi toy, you will need to shape it, but while making the body of the toy, we will create the legs and arms using bobble stitch. In this way, most of the toy will already be shaped.

2sc wide

TAIL

Start with brown, one round under the biggest stripe and insert your hook. make sure the tail is in the middle from the big stripe.

We now crochet 7 sc along the back for Row 1. Ch 1 and turn your work.
Row 2: 7sc, ch 1 & turn
Row 3: 5sc, change color to yellow, ch 1 & turn

Leave a short tail and weave in the ends. I like to use the yarn tails to secure the tail a bit on the back.
