Wooper Plushie

Wooper is made by request.  Funny how none of my girls ever mentioned wooper at all ...  but as soon as he was done,  the girls were in love and he went to live on my 16 year old daughter's shelf with so many of the other pokemon I've made  LOL 

If you find any problems in the pattern, or just have a question feel free to post here or send me an email.  I'll get back to you on it ASAP.

Wooper

MATERIALS:

WW yarn in blue and violet

G Hook

Fiberfill

Small scraps of felt in black and white

Black embroidery thread.

NOTES:

Gauge isn’t necessary here,  as long as your hook and yarn choices, and your tension result in a tight and even stitch so that the stuffing won’t show through.

Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row indicate the total number of stitches that should be in that round or row.

HEAD/BODY:

Rnd 1:  6 sc in magic ring  (6)

Rnd 2:  2 sc in each sc around  (12)

Rnd 3:  sc in next sc,  2 sc in next sc around  (18)

Rnd 4:  sc in next 2 sc,  2 sc in next sc around (24)

(These will stand up on the head of the Wooper  (as shown in the photos).  If you would rather make them sturdier,  then crochet 4 of them,  instead of 2.  Place two of them back to back and whip stitch them together. )

FINAL ASSEMBLY:  

I highly recommend pinning all the parts together before sewing,  to ensure that you’re happy with everything before making it permanent.

Feet are sewn at bottom of body as shown.  Tail is sewn to the bottom of the body at the back as shown (make sure the wooper is balanced on the two feet and the base of the tail)

Stripes are pinned to body and sewn as shown.   Ears/Horns are pinned to side of the head and sewn securely as shown.

Eyes are two small circles of black felt,  which two very small circles of white for ‘catch lights’

Mouth is embroidered as shown.
