This is a Pikachu doll I made for my daughter. Even though I've been crocheting for 35 years, this is the first time I've ever tried to write out a pattern for someone other than myself to follow, so if anything is confusing, please let me know I'll do my best to fix it :)
PIKACHU PLUSHIE
MATERIALS:
About 4 oz. WW yarn in Yellow
About 1 oz. WW yarn in Black
Small amount of brown WW yarn
Either small bits of red felt or red yarn for cheeks
two black eyes or black buttons (half inch)
fiberfill stuffing
Yarn needle
F hook
NOTES:
Gauge isn't really of a concern here. In fact, you can make different sized plushies with different sized yarns and appropriate hooks. Just make sure the hook and your tension result in a moderately tight stitch so that the stuffing won't show through.
In my work I tend to prefer joining rounds with a slip stich, if you prefer to use the 'amigurumi' style of continuous rounds with stitch markers, that also works well.
Number in () at the end of each rnd indicates the total number of stitches that should be in that round (or rounds).
When working dec (decrease) stitch, it is helpful to use the 'invisible' decrease by working the decrease in the FRONT LOOPS ONLY. It doesn't really make it completely invisible, but it does help a great deal to avoid the 'gaps' that are common when making decreases (especially in plushie, amigurumi or 3D crochet)
HEAD AND BODY:
Using Yellow
Rnd 1: Using 'magic ring' 8 sc in ring (8)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (16)
Rnd 3: sc in sc, 2 sc in next around (24)
Rnd 4: sc in each sc around (24)

Rnd 6: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (40)
Rnd 7-13: sc in each sc around (40)
Rnd 14: sc in next 6 sc, dec over next 2 sc. Sc in next six sc, dec around. (35)
Rnd 15: sc in next 5 sc, dec over next 2 sc. around (30)
Rnd 16: sc next 4 sc, 2 sc next sc around (36)

Rnd 29: sc in next 6 sc dec over next to sc around (42)

Row 15: sc in first 3 sc, hdc in next three sc, dc in last 4 sc. (10) F/O
Sew the two tail pieces together by either whipstitching, or using sc even around the edges. (you can place pipe cleaner in between them to add poseability, but this is purely optional).

Sew the small brown triangle over the bottom of the tail as shown. Sew buttons (or eyes) onto face. Using small amount of black, add nose using a few small whip stitches. Sew felt circles to sides of face (or make small ring with red yard using six sc in magic ring). Using small backstitches, add mouth as shown.

Great job! Do you have the pattern for the pokeballs?
Yes, I do have the Pokeball pattern. I wrote it down when I made them. I'll be posting the pokeballs later. I'd planned to do so before now, but got sidetracked. LOL
Thanks!
Umm...you put the tail on backwards :P
It's supposed to point away from the body (you made the mistake shown in the 2nd generation game back sprites). But I'll try this; it looks good :3
No, it wasn't a mistake. It was intentional.
If I'd put the tail on the way it it supposed to be, it wouldn't be stable, it would quickly tear up the crochet on the back. Sometimes you have to make concessions in crochet to accomodate the limits of the materials. :D
hey can u email me a sewing version of this?
I'm sorry, but I don't have sewing versions. I only design crochet patterns. You could possibly find sewing patterns for pikachu plushes online though.
Hi your pikachu is really fantastic. I did one for my kid and he's crazy about it.
If you want or need, I translate your pattern in french. I just don't know how to give it to you.
Excuse my english but I'm french.
Have a nice day
i just learned how to crochet a few months ago, and i really enjoy it... i was browsing free patterns when i found Jigglypuff, and i just had to tell you how excited i am to try these patterns! my boyfriend loves pokemon & he'll think these are awesome... ;)
It is rather interesting for me to read this post. Thanx for it. I like such themes and everything connected to this matter. I definitely want to read a bit more soon.
Thanks for the great pattern. My son loves Pikachu, so I plan to make him one for X-Mas this year. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for posting this pattern. I can't wait to try it out and give it to my brother. He just loves pokemon. Plus you make it lok so easy for a beginner like me , lol! Thanks again
I love this pattern! Thank you so much for making so many Pokemon available to crochet. Here's my version of your Pikachu: http://yulian-dreams.blogspot.com/2009/12/pikachu.html
my grandson justs loves this character...I can't seem to get it to print
I don't know why it won't print, I have no print restrictions on this page at all, so it should print fine.
If anyone else has an idea as to why the trouble with printing, maybe they will post it.
in round 4 of the ear, it should be sc in first 5 sc, 2 sc in last to create seven stitches.
Thanks for pointing out the typo on rnd 4 of the ear! I can't believe it's been here this long and I didn't notice... I guess it's a case of reading it too much, you just kinda glaze over things like that. I fixed it tho, and thanks again! :D
Still waiting on the pokeball pattern? I couldn't find it, even a year later :-P
The pokeball pattern was posted on the blog on April 9, 2009. It's listed in the patterns list on the right hand side of this page, and has been since the day it went up. The URL to the pattern is http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2009/04/pokeball.html
Sorry you missed it... all my patterns are listed right there on the side :)
Thanks so much for the pattern! My sister loves Pokemon and I wanted to make a pikachu for her birthday, so I made this. She loved it. Again, thank you, and all of your patterns are terrific! :D
is there a way for u to make for me and ill pay u (um donate )am not good with stuff like this and i want one for my sister her birthday is coming up and a when i try searching buying these things all they sell r patterns not the product plus the plush they sell that r out look nice but in my opinion these look better and cooler
Thanks so much for the pattern, it was really easy to follow :)
And it makes a great Pikachu :)
Hey! This is a great pattern and I'm almost done, I've got all the parts made. I just have one question: when sewing the tail to Pikachu, should the wider stripe with the hdc and dc be sewn to the body, or should that be sticking away from him?
Thanks! I'm really excited to have this done =D these patterns are so cool!
You can use the pictures at the top of the pattern to help you in placing the tail. I'll be perfectly honest with you, it's been SO long since I made this one, I can't remember exactly which end I sewed to the body.
I would just play around with the tail in different positions and use which ever one you like best (pikachu is very expressive with his tail, so just about any position will work just fine :) )
Thank you so much for sharing this! You're amazing!
I really want to try this out but I'm wondering how big is this Pikachu? About how much yellow yarn will I need?
Again, thank you very much!:)
Opps sorry I didn't read carefully! Please ignore the how much yarn will i need question:P
Thanks
Thank you so much for posting this! My daughter is in love with Pikachu and I am going to try to make one for Christmas. Better than me making a blanket. It is so amazing you are able to create and share these!
Somewhere above someone commented that you put the tail on backwards, and you said that it wouldn't stay up right if it was on correctly...well, when I made this I found that you can sew one of the corners of the tail, the part that's at a 90 degree angle, to the brown stripe and that will keep the tail up while allowing it to be placed properly.
Just felt like sharing =)
I like this character toy very much. I have the hobby of collecting Godzilla Plushies.
Hi! I'm having a problem with your pattern. I'm not sure if I'm reading it wrong or if theres a typo, but in Rnd 3 of the head and body, it sounds like you crochet one single crochet into the first stitch then two into the next then one in every stitch after that. This would make sense except I'm supposed to have 24 stitches at the end of the round and instead I get 18. In other rounds I have a similar problem where the numbers don't seem to add up. Would you mind helping me? Thank you so much!
You sc into the first sc, 2 sc in next sc, (repeat that sequence around to beginning of the round - 1 sc, 2sc, 1 sc, 2 sc, etc) adding six sc to the round. :D
Hi Wolfdreamer, i love your pokemon collection which actually inspired me to start crocheting after some really long time. I've used your pattern and made my self 2 cute little pikachu's, i hope its okay for me to share my experience on my blog . I've referenced it back here too :)
Thanks again for the wonderful pokemon collection. Their lovely!!
I loved this pattern. I had envisioned one a little smaller. 1 because its a better size to carry around for my toddlers, and 2 because I wanted to make multiples in a short time. So I took your pattern and reduced it. Here is the result:
HEAD AND BODY:
Using Yellow
Rnd 1: Using 'magic ring' 8 sc in ring (8)
Rnd 2: sc in sc, 2 sc in next around (12)
Rnd 3: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (16)
Rnd 4: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (20)

Rnd 12-15 sc in each sc around (30)
Rnd 16: sc in next 6 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (27)
NOTE: It's a good idea to begin stuffing the piece at this point (if you haven't already). Stuff the head and body moderately firm.
Rnd 17: sc in next 5 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (24)
Rnd 18: sc in next 3 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (18)
Rnd: 19: sc in sc, dec over next 2 sc around (12)
Rnd: 20: sc in sc, dec over next 2 sc around (8)

Row 4: repeat row 2
Row 5: repeat row 3
Row 6-7: sc in each sc across (10)

Sew the two tail pieces together by either whipstitching, or using sc even around the edges. (you can place pipe cleaner in between them to add poseability, but this is purely optional).
I just sewed the brown on the back. It made a character a little larger then my fist. I hope its ok :).
could you make a giant plush like this?
nice doll
p/s Real Pikachu
umm...on row 14..so do you mean sc in next 6 stitch dec 2 times then sc in next six dec then repeat around???
Sc in the next 6 sc, decrease (work a decrease over the next 2 stitches) then sc in the next 6 sc, work a decrease (repeat this all the way around)
would you please consider making a ledyba?
Hi Wolfdreamer, I LOVE your patterns. I was working on this pikachu and i was just wondering how to do a back stitch or a whip stich for the nose and mouth. could you like make a tutorial for me with a video or written instructions? and thank you in advance.
I would also like to know if you would actually make one on commission for me? no one i know crochets worth crud lol. if you like you can email me at elkajah@hotmail.com
I was wondering what the "magic ring" is that you are referring to throughout? I apologize if this is an obvious answer... kind of new at this :)
Okay. Wow.
Your work is SO AMAZING.
I CAN NOT find any patterns in knit for Pokemon. And even then I bet they wouldn't be as good as your patterns.
I actually couldn't crochet a stitch, but I had to give in to your patterns to make something for my friend's bday.
So I started crocheting the pikachu.
And with a little help from the Internet, I COULD CROCHET.
So thanks so much for your patterns inspiring me to finally learn to crochet. :)
Try making a Charizard since it was so popular back in the day. :P
Thanks! Altho I knit all the time, I don't make dolls in knit because they don't hold their shape nearly as well when stuffed as do the crochet dolls :D
I'm always pleased to hear when someone was inspired to learn crochet because of one of my patterns... you'll be glad you did learn, it opens up a whole other world of options to you ... crochet lace borders for your knit garments, trims, lovely shawls and blankets, hats and everything else....and of course, the dolls! :D
Charizard I haven't made because there are already several VERY good free patterns online for Char - so I concentrate on the other pokemon that need some lovin' too LOL
If you run into any problems you can't find a solution for online (YouTube is a monsterly good resource for video instructions on all the stitches/techniques) - let me know and I'll see what I can do to help ya out :D
Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your patterns!!
I made this one as part of Xmas present last year for my son and he ADORES it, so much so that he's starting to get a little "loved" and I may need to make a new one :)
And I've probably made about 20 pokeballs in various sizes and colors :) They made and awesome addition in my son's bday goodie bags too!
Thank you again for sharing such wonderful patterns!!
Hello! I really like your Pikachu =)
How long did it take to make?
And I'm a noob when it comes to crocheting, do you think I would find this difficult?
From Ivi
Hello WolfDreamer,
I just discovered your patterns and they are all absolutely incredible! I've never done crochet before (but I knit) and this classic Pikachu is soo cute! I'm running out for a crochet hook today- could I make a request for Bulbasaur and Togepi?? Please! and thank you so much! Merry Christmas
Hi WolfDreamer,
I have only just learned to crochet over this summer break (I'm in NZ) I loved looking at your patterns, but could only crochet to a pictorial scheme.
Yesterday, I taught myself to read a pattern using a japanese site and google translate and realised how the patterns 'worked' - at least for ball shaped things - and now am half way through my first pikachu! My sister is really excited because she is into cosplay and wants to show him off! hehe.
Thank you so much for posting the pattern and with the picture. As a brand new crochet-queen, I really appreciate them :D
XX
in row 15 on the tail you said you dec twice. but yet you have the same amount as the last row. Shouldn't it be 8 then? because you "removed" 2? o3o
There are no decreases in row 15. There are single crochet (sc), half-double crochet(hdc) and double crochet (dc).
:D
I love your Pokeman pattern collection I have done Pikachu,pokeball,pichu, also i made sonic,mario Luigi...... Your patterens are so easy to follow thanks for sharing
Hi! I was reading through this pattern and I was wondering what you meant by F/O...I have a feeling that I already know but I am very forgetful, so could you please help me out?
Totally in love with this pattern! You're a gem, thankyou so much for sharing! it's my first try at arigurumi and it's turning out perfectly! Im making mine for a friends' daughter, I know she'll love it :)
P.s I am now following your amazing blog!! I'll post a photo of my finished Pikachu on my blog if you'd like to see it!
Gah I can't spell...amigurumi :p you know what I mean! hehe
hello...just had a quick question. How come you never mention to chain one at the end of a row before you turn? You would have to ch 1 in order to have the number of stiches you mention in ().
Well, technically, there are two ways you can turn your row. (You should always chain 1 at the beginning of a new 'round' but still work your first stitch in the same sc you slipped stitch into)
When turning a row, you do have two choices:
1. Chain 1, skip the first stitch and continue your row, making the chain 1 the 'first' stitch of your row.
2. Don't chain, and work your first sc in the actual last sc of the previous row.
The benefit of NOT doing a ch1, is that you have a firmer edge to sew up your doll parts/pieces. Chaining to turn creates a weaker edge suitable for garments, but it leaves gaps in a doll when it's stuffed or sew together.
You keep your stitch count, but end up with a firmer edge to work with.
If you're making a scarf or other garment, which will have an 'open' edge ... using the 'no chain' turn also results in a *much* cleaner edge with a tighter form that looks as if you went back and intentionally created the edging.
Obviously, when working with DC or TR, you do need to make at least a chain 1 (or 2) when turning, just to bring your working yarn up to the stitch height, but by making your first stitch in the actual final stitch of your previous row, you're still going to end up with a firmer and cleaner edge than if you used the turning chain as your 'first stitch' of the row. :D
Hope that made some sense! I think I might have even slightly confused m'self there LOL
I never understood how to read the instructions and I've been crocheting for a year now, is that bad or normal? I've been crocheting many amigurumis though, and I was going to be crocheting a oversized pikachu for a friend that's graduating from highschool (ima soon to be sophomore) and I was wondering if it would be plagiarism if I also sold it in online stores with other amigumies from different animes b/c my friends said I should sell my stuff
If you follow the pattern as it is, you'll notice that the result is nothing like the picture. the ears/arms/feet/tail are too small for that body.
I'm sorry if you had problems with the pattern. Many many others have made the Pikachu and had no problems.
Many things can affect the size of the parts of crocheted dolls. Tension when working, amount and type of stuffing, etc. Sometimes when making these crochet dolls, you have to adjust for your specific style/tension and materials.
This is a very good pattern! I modified some of it cause the body for whatever reason was a bit fat for me so the arms were too short and... Well, it happens. Whatever.
Thank you very much for this pattern! I really wanted to make a Pikachu with ketchup for mine and my boyfriend's year anniversary and now I can!!! (:
Everything worked except for the ears: they seemed much smaller than in the picture...
In the brown portion of the tail you have to -"ch7, sc in 2nd ch from hook then sc the remainder(6). Then row 2 you have sk 1st ch then sc in remaining (6 sc) but isn't it (5) if you are sk the 1st sc in row 2?
Great pattern! Made one for my 7 yr old and they loved it so much that my 3 yr old demanded his own. On the second, I used the brown yarn for the first section of the lightening bolt instead of attaching a separate patch. Both versions came out great! Thank you for the pattern!!
I have a website for my crochet projects too, and a few people have had issues with my patterns because I forgot punctuation. So, not being mean, but on Rounds 5-17, you should put a comma before "around", cause the way I read it was
"Rnd 14: sc in next 6 sc. dec over next 2 sc. Sc in next six sc. dec around" and I'm guessing you meant "Rnd 14: (sc in next 6 sc, dec over next 2 sc. Sc in next six sc, dec) around"
If I'm wrong, I'm terribly sorry and I apologize. Either way, SO CUTE!!!
Have you done a Pokémon Pickachu hat for teens? I can't find a good free pattern. Your work is really good. thanks for making the patterns available. My grandson would love a hat.
How big is this pokemon? Thank u!
When I made this he ended up being 6.5 inches, (8.5 inches including ears)
I made this pattern for a baby just put black circles sewn on and used smaller hook. Thanks for a great pattern and all the work you do.
thank you for this great pattern! I have never been able to crochet from patterns written in english before (not a native speaker) but your pattern was clear and easy to follow. And the resulting critter is cute and perfect as a birthday present for my niece who is into pokemon at the moment :)
I am almost done making the body including stuffing, and as it seemed the whole time I was working, the head is very flat and there isn't much of a neck. It doesn't really look like a head; the whole thing looks like an oddly shaped yellow eggplant. What is going on?
D'oh! I figured it out. I hadn't done all the repeats. *smacks forehead*
My fingers hurt from crocheting all those little pieces. I think it might be my choice of yarn: a not stretchy cotton, so it's hard to get the hook through, especially on the ears, arms, feet. Next time, stretchy and soft.
I just finished this up for my daughter and she loves it!
http://suprphats.deviantart.com/ pics there
What is the approximate finished size? Is it small like traditional amigurami? Or is it a more plush-sized doll? Just an estimate would be appreciate. I am hoping to also make a pokeball hat that can drawstring close to be Pikachu's pokeball in addition to this wonderful pattern you shared with us. My son's birthday is coming up, so... ;)
Most of the character dolls average about 9 inches tall (with the obvious exceptions like Lugia). Your exact results will be a little different depending on your choice of yarn, hook and your individual tension when crocheting them.
Love your partners. Made pikacku for my sister. Have a Facebook crochet page and posted a pic and link to your page. :)
Hi. I am looking forward to making this Pikachu for my niece. Can you please tell me which yarn did you use?
Thank you in advance :-)
Im from New Zealand and seen your patterns on Pinterest. Thank you so much for sharing your pokemon patterns. Have made several and they are such a hit with the kids. Super job for putting smiles on kids faces
This is fantastic! I have made your Mario and Luigi and TMNT. I was wondering if you have a Yoshi pattern? My grandson LOVES Yoshi.
Thank you for all of your wonderful patterns.
Thank you for the pattern! I'm making this as a gift for a child and I'm sure it will be well loved!
It's my first time crocheting in the round and I'm a little confused by round 35 of the head/body:
Rnd: 35: sc in sc, dec over next 2 sc around (9)
Does this mean to alternate single crochet and decrease all the way around? If so, I get 12 stitches remaining, not 9. Alternatively, if I single crochet then decrease for the rest of the way around, I seem to have one extra stitch remaining of the previous row's 18. Please advise? Thanks!
So cute!!!
