Free Wooper Pokemon Intermediate Crochet Pattern

Language: English (standard US crochet terminology)
Difficulty: Intermediate
Finished size: Between 20-5cm tall depending on the yarn and crochet hook you use

Materials and tools needed:

• Crochet hook (I used a 3.5mm)
• Stitch markers
• Scissors
• Yarn/tapestry needle
• 2 x 50g ball of yarn in colour of choice (I used Keepstake 8 ply organic cotton from Spotlight)
• A very small amount of yarn in black
• A small amount of yarn in a secondary colour and tertiary colour (for the antenna and stomach details)
• Poly stuffing for toy making

You can use any yarn and crochet hook to bring Wooper to life, making this project highly customizable. Whether you prefer standard yarn or want to use chenille yarn for an extra soft and plush texture, this pattern is adaptable to your preferences.
