Hey hey crochet lovers. From the start of my crocheted Pokemon journey I had my eye on the original three starter Pokemon and knew that I wanted all three created to Evelyn Pham’s super cute baby patterns. Squirtle was a lovely pattern to make up and it was a pleasant changed to have so many colours to work with. Isn’t he a sweetie!

I’m gradually building my skills with needle-felting and Squirtle was my first example of making fine detail work for the eyebrows and nostrils. For someone as shocking at embroidery at me, it’s a much more satisfying way of getting those finishes touches just right.
