Hey, hey crochet lovers. After a break from Eveleyn Pham’s baby Pokemon patterns with Jigglypuff, I headed back for more with the adorable Charmander. I picked up a lovely range of cotton colours from Rico and the orange is so beautifully vibrant I couldn’t wait to hook him up.

While the pattern came together well the yarn was an awkward customer and kept splitting – not a problem I’ve had with other colours in this yarn so I may have just got unlucky.

The needle-felting is becoming one of my favourite parts of the process and I couldn’t be happier with Charmander’s eyes and cute little toesies. Just don’t look at both eyes at onc and how out of line they are.
