So finally I finished Snivy! I've been working on him since Christmas and now he's all in one piece! Whooo-hoooo! Lol! So he was a little difficult to make, especially his chin and belly, but now he's finished I can finally sigh with relief and watch a movie or read a book. Well here he is! I hope you can understand my pattern and that your Snivy will turn out great! If you find any spelling mistakes or row/pattern mistakes please notify me by doing either of the following things:
1. Commenting on this post
2. Emailing me at my email address (on the right ------>)
3. Leaving a post on our Facebook page (there is a link also on the right -------->)
4. Or sending me a message on Ravelry (there's a link to my Ravelry page on the right! ---->)
Also if anyone does make a Snivy using this pattern, please show me a picture! I would love to see what others have done! That's all I'm gonna say! Now enjoy the pattern!
Snivy
Materials:
Worsted Weight yarn in Green, Yellow, and a creamy color (I used Red Heart Super Saver Spring Green, Bright Yellow, and Aran)
Size G (#6 or 4.00 mm) crochet hook
Yarn Needle
Felt in red, white, and black
Scissors
Polyester fiberfill (I just buy cheap pillows from the Dollar General and use those. I can get two pillows for $7 whereas the polyester fiberfill in craft stores can be $15 a bag!)
Notes:
Gauge isn't that important, just as long as your stitches are tight and the stuffing won't show through.
The ( ) at the end of each Round/Row indicate the number of stitches at the end of each Round/Row.
I work in continuous rounds (aka, spiral rounds), but if you prefer to join at the end of each round feel free to do so. I also decrease in front loops only. This makes the decrease less visible, or so I've heard.
If you don't know what a Magic Ring is here's an example: If the pattern says 6 sc in Magic Ring, for an alternative you can ch 2 and 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook and join stitches. I prefer Magic Ring because it makes the beginning hole close really tight so that stuffing won't fall out, but most people I try to teach have trouble making a Magic Rng. Just do whatever you feel most comfortable with. If you want to learn how to make a Magic Ring try this link. I make my Magic Ring this way and I taught my sister how to do it after a few days.
The small pieces (such as the stripes, the belly, and the chin) are quite difficult to make. If you have any questions please inform me by any of the above mentioned means.
Crochet terms used in this pattern:
1. sc -- Single Crochet
2. sl st -- Slip Stitch
3. hdc -- Half Double Crochet
4. dc -- Double crochet
5. dec -- Decrease over next 2 stitches
Don't get any of these techniques mixed up! I tried a pattern when I first learned how to crochet and it said "dc in next st" and I thought it meant dec! I completely messed it up!

Tail Assembly:
Lay one tail leaf on top of the other and sc around the edge of both of them put together. 3 sc on tip of end points and 2 sc on tip of middle point.
Final Assembly:
I sewed the body parts in this order:
1. Chin to head
2. Eye patches to head
3. Belly to body
4. Head to body
5. Back Stripe to body
6. Side Stripes to body
7. Feet to body
8. Collar to body
9. Arms to body
10. And lastly the Tail Leaf.
I sewed the tail on last to prevent bending it and making it flimsy, but it turned out flimsy anyway. You can sew them in this order if you like, or sew them on however you want to.
Cut the white, red, and black parts of the eyes out of felt. I like to draw the eyes on a piece of paper and color it in before cutting the felt to prevent using too much or wasting it. Hey, felt's expensive to me! Embroider a mouth and nostrils on his chin and his face is done!
I added hair to mine (a mohawk) because he looked bald without it. You can accessorize him however you want to! Enjoy you new Snivy! There are also patterns for Tepig, Emolga, Oshawott out there! Click on their names for the links! Make a whole clan of Pokemon!! YEEEAAAAHHH!
