Well, after many requests, I finally made Snorlax. (I know he's not blue, but in my fire-red game he's a deep olive green, and I didn't have the right blue for him LOL). You of course, can make him any color you like :D
I posted only this one picture of him, because frankly, that's pretty much everything there is. The pattern is pretty straightforward, with maybe a little fancy footwork on the face part, but it's very easy really.
I made mine in the sitting position because he fits on the shelf better that way (and I couldn't see his little face if he was laying down up there). But of course, you can make him in any position that pleases you. As usual I'm not really happy with his face, but faces have always been the bane of existence. I know y'all will do better on the face than I did :D
As always, if you have any trouble, have a question or find a problem in the pattern, let me know and I'll get back to you ASAP.
Snorlax
MATERIALS:
WW yarn in your main color (green in example) and lighter color (tan in example) and a few yards of white for claws and 'toenails'
G hook
Fiberfill
Needle and thread to match yarn colors
Small bits of med brown felt (or yarn of similar color)
small amount of black embroidery thread
NOTES:
Gauge isn't important as long as your choice of yarn, hook and your individual tension result in a consistently firm stitch so that the stuffing won't show through.
I join my rounds, but if you're most comfortable working in continuous rounds, then that's fine too.
Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row indicate the total number of stitches in that round or row.
BODY:
Begin with lighter color:
Rnd 1: 8 sc in magic ring (8)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (16)

Sew three toenails on the top side of each foot (as shown). Cut a circle of the medium brown felt and sew to the center of the foot (as shown).
FINAL ASSEMBLY:
I highly recommend pinning all the parts together before you sew them on. This gives you the opportunity to 'play' with positioning, and make small adjustments.
Face inset is sewn to head as shown. Ears are sewn to top of head placed as shown. Head is sewn to body (if making him in a sitting position, you may wish to consider having his head tilt down and to the side as if he'd just dozed off).
Arms are sewn to the sides of the body near where the head is sewn on.
Legs are sewn to body either in sitting position or in sleeping position.
Facial features are simply embroidered with black thread. Two tiny triangles are the 'fangs'.

I'm not at all interested in Pokemon stuff but this guy is adorable! I'm going to have to sneak and make this for my son for his birthday :) He'll think it's a monster and he loves monsters :)
My kids want to know, is it actual size? ;) Thanks again for a great pattern!
SNOARLACKZ!
I'm so glad you decided to make this one. You could argue that he's not a shiny snorlax--shinies are royal blue, but the normal ones are regularly greyish-greenish-black.
cool. makes me sleepy.
I dare anyone to make a Magli Boo

A knit 3D Magli Boo??
QUE MARAVILLA DE LABORES TIENES EN TU BLOG.TE SIGO.sALUDOS
Ah Snorlax, he was always one of my favourites.
could you maybe possibly think of doing a Noctowl?
May I wish a free pattern perhaps? A little 9 from the movie with the same name, or the twins which i dont remember the numbers of..
btw I love your patterns specially the Minion :D
from Sweden with Love
I hope you will be sharing with us the Lugia and the Espeon soon. :]
The Lugia I will have up as soon as I can get it finished... the Espeon is not my pattern (well, not entirely)
It's an adaptation of my Umbreon pattern by another crafter, and you can find the pattern here: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=356831.0 --- it's a very good adaptation :D
This is AWESOME. I always tease my boyfriend by saying if he was a Pokemon he'd be Snorlax so now I can make him his own mini-me. :D
He says I'm Piplup so I'm totally throwing that out there as something I'd love you to make. :3
Thanks for this pattern!
My daughter was hoping you could make a pattern for manaphy. It is her favorite. Her brothers like turtwig, and chimchar. Thank you for considering it.
You're patterns are great!
wow this is a must make so i must make
Thank you!!
Every since my daughter saw your Raichu, my son has been begging me for Snorlax....& his b-day is next week! Woo hoo!
umm sorry but snorlax is black on the out side yeaa just to let u know
Hmm.. I think you need to go and look at him again. Or at the very least adjust the colors on your game system, :D
Hey! I absolutley LOVE your patterns :D
ive made qute a few of them n.n
im making this snorlax for somebody for christmas :D
You do a awesome job at making the patterns!
Id love to see a pidgey pattern, or a skitty! Sorry if you get alot of requests and its annoying or something but i really love your patterns :D
I love all your pokemon patterns! (well all the patterns in general but, pokemon are just awesome) I've already made myself a psyduck. I was wondering if you could make a Dragonite pattern? My boyfriend really wants one, and I can't make patterns (lol). Thanks so much!
WOW u did a really good job on this i was originally on the site looking for a gengar pattern for my brother i was wondering... could u make one???? thanks!!
i pulled my poster out my pokedex just to check which color i thought would fit the best, and of all my colors, teal seemed the closest. I'm using teal and buff.
Your whole blog is so fantastic! Thank you for posting these patterns!
Roughly how big is this? I want to make it roughly the size of an average Teddy bear.
could u make a munchlax? cuz i think it would b a great gag gift 4 my friend. See, whenever she takes a "which pokemon r u ?" quiz, she always gets munchlax. sooo...yeah.
Can you make a Misty Pokemon doll?
Another adorable one! I'm enjoying all your patterns even if i don't comment. Thank you, thank you!! This one reminds m of my dear hubby, lol.
When I do the first 7 rows of this for the belly (and when I try to do all your other patterns) my circle is not flat at all. I've checked and double checked, and I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!
Even though you made him olive green, and in other games he's blue. a Pokedex entry states that Snorlax is black......I think this looks much better,
I can't seem to get the face inset right. It's tiny compared to the proportions of the picture. I've redone it several times and it is still too small for the head. Any suggestions?
Did you stuff the ears?
Good morning from the East Coast, I love your pattern! I am getting stuck on his face. I used a smaller hook and it seems like the face insert is too big, so I dropped down to the next hook size. I am not really sure how to make it look right? Also is the face insert sewn to the bottom round of the head where it is attached to the body? And could you help with the point, mine look nothing like yours. In other words, I need help :) Thank you
Thank you for the pattern. The only problem I have had so far is the face instructions seem a little vague (fasten off, then attach yarn, but to which side of the first point, and why not slip stitch down one side of the point, how long of an end to leave at any point)
Hi. Im madisen and I'm 13. I just started making stuffed animals for my little siblings and have been wanting to make pokemon ones for myself and my older sisters. I just so happened to stumble upon this site and now it is one of my bookmarks. Thanks a bunch!
Why do we not close the head at f/I?? I'm super confused because the snorlax picture looks like the head was closed before assembly.
If you close up an opening of 24 stitches it will buckle the fabric and make the head too small. Of toy continue the head and close it normally it will be too large. Using the 24 stitch opening as the point of connection also makes the large (and heavy) head much more stable, less likely to flop around and also less likely to come apart from the stress of the weight on the connection.
Sometimes 3D crochet is as much about trying to adapt the physics of the pretend world to the physics of the real world as it is about simple doll making. :-)
Thank you so much!! 😍
So just one question the head the open part is what we stitch to the body?the first one I made I made like the body
