#154 Meganium


#154 Meganium




I have found a pattern for Chikorita (http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2010/07/chikorita-plushie.html) and Bayleef (http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2010/04/bayleef-plushie.html).  I have yet to find a pattern for Meganium.  So, I decided to design one of my own.  I altered the tail pattern after making the one pictured.  The tail will be much shorter if you follow the pattern.

Materials:
Worsted Weight Yarn:  Spring green, White, and Pink
Small amount of yellow and black yarn
Yellow chenille stem
Craft glue
G crochet hook
Sewing needle
Poly-Fil®
4 small circles of cardboard (optional)

Body:
With Spring Green,
Rd 1:               work 6 sc in a magic ring , or ch 2 and work 6 sc in the first ch (6)
Rd 2:               2sc in each sc around (12)
Rd 3:               (sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc) around (18)
Rd 4:               (sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around (24)

Rd 7:               (sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around (42)
Rd 8-17:          sc in each sc around – (42)
From here on we start working on the tail. Stuff your body and tail firmly as you go along after Rd 38, it’s becoming impossible to stuff further.
