Well, I took a bit of a detour. Digimon are big around this house, and Terriormon is first up. This doll is probably going to require two skeins of white (but you should have left overs) and about half a skein of the green color.
I hope to get some other digimon characters done too, it's a nice change from the Pokemon (although I still have plans to make some more of those, don't worry!).
If you have any problems with the pattern, post or email me, I'll get back with you asap (and as always, if you find an issue with the pattern, which can happen, let me know so I can fix it :)
MATERIALS:
WW yarn
in (2 skeins)white and (1 skein)medium green
G Hook
Fiberfill
Felt in
black, dark red and pink (with tiny scraps for catchlights in the
eyes)
Sewing
needle and thread
Fabric
Glue (optional)
NOTES:
Gauge
isn't terribly important to this project, as long as your choice of
yarn, hook and individual tension result in a stitch that is fairly
firm and doesn't allow the fiberfil to 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.
It's
highly recommended that you read through the pattern completely
before beginning to familiarize yourself with the entire process.

KERCHIEF:
Chain

NOTE:
It is possible you will need to adjust the number of starting chains
to accommodate the neck space of your doll (by chaining more or
less). It's helpful to pin the arms in place and 'test' your
kercheif before fastening off the yarn. Everyone crochet's a little
differently, so you may need to adjust this portion to fit your
tension/style of crochet.

ASSEMBLY:
Pin all
parts together as shown (or as preferred). When fully satisfied
with placement of parts, securely sew all parts together. The tail is placed in the place tails normally go, LOL. I just wasn't able to get a picture of his backside.
Cut
pieces of felt for face features and sew (or glue) into place.
Cut
long, thin strips of felt that are slightly wider at one end. Glue
(or sew) three of these to each foot/hand for the claws. Trim to
length desired. (widest end should be the part that's glued or sewn
to the foot/hand part)
Using
needle and dark brown or black thread, whipstitch several times for
nose.
