7 Adorable Crochet Amigurumi Pokémon Patterns to Make

ByElla Rose

If you love cuddly handmade creatures, Pokémon are an irresistible playground for amigurumi. This collection of seven detailed patterns walks you through making pocket-sized versions of Pikachu, Oshawott, Eevee, Fennekin, Lugia, Clefairy, and Psyduck. Each pattern includes skill level, finished size, materials, clear round-by-round instructions (US terms), assembly notes, safety tips, and variation ideas so you can customize color, size, and personality. I’ve written these patterns to be beginner-friendly where possible and detailed enough for more experienced makers to tweak. Ready your hook and stuffing — let’s bring these Pokémon pals to life!

Safety & Finishing

  • For toys for young children, embroider eyes and mouth rather than using safety eyes. Secure seams well.
  • Use a small amount of blush (fabric-safe) for cheeks or crocheted circles.

Variations & Tips

  • Make mini Pikachus using sport yarn & smaller hook.

  • Worsted weight yarn: brown (body), cream (collar, inner ear), dark brown (ear tips & tail tip)
  • Hook: 3.5–4.0 mm

Head

Follow the same spherical head instructions as Pikachu but slightly larger (work increases to 36 sts before even rounds):

  1. MR 6, inc to 12, sc inc to 18, 2 sc inc to 24, 3 sc inc to 30, 4 sc inc to 36. Work 4–6 rounds even, then decrease in reverse.

Place eyes between rounds 9–10 spread about 8–9 sts.

Body

Ears (Make 2 long ears)

  1. Ch 2, 4 sc in 2nd ch (or MR). (4)
  2. Sc, inc twice (6)
    3–8. Sc around increasing at base slightly if you want broader ear base. For inner ear, use cream and sew into ear to give layered look. Add dark brown tip with color change in last 1–2 rounds.

Tail (big bushy tail)

  1. Ch 8, sc back along chain (7), then work rounds around to make a flat, wide tail. Add increases on outer edges to give a triangular bushy shape. Add dark tip with last 2 rounds in dark brown. Lightly stuff and sew to back.

Collar (fluffy cream collar)

Make a ruff: ch 16, into chain sc, ch 3, skip 1 to make loops; or crochet small puff stitches around a chain to give fur effect. Make enough length to wrap around neck and sew into place.

Legs & Arms

Similar to Pikachu, but slightly narrower; make 2 legs, 2 arms. For sturdier sitting, place legs slightly turned out and use a short stitch seam.

Assembly

  1. Attach head to body firmly.
  2. Sew ears to top of head, positioned slightly forward and angled out.
  3. Add collar by sewing base around neck, cover seam.
  4. Attach tail centered at back.
  5. Embroider tiny nose and mouth; add whisker dots if desired.

Tips & Variations

  • Make baby Eevee by using DK yarn and smaller hook.

4. Fennekin Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Skill level: Intermediate (shaping of muzzle and large ears)
Finished size: ~5–6″ (13–15 cm) tall
Materials

  • Worsted yarn: pale cream (body), orange (ear tufts & tail), dark orange or red for inner ear shading
  • Hook: 3.5–4.0 mm
  • Safety eyes 6 mm (or embroidered), polyfill, yarn needle

Body & Head

Work head as a slightly elongated sphere (wider than tall) with white muzzle sewn on (same technique as Oshawott muzzle but more tapered). Body slightly pear-shaped.

Large Ears (make 2)

Because Fennekin’s ears are prominent, make them from two layered pieces:

  1. Inner ear: cream, ch 8, sc back along chain, then work rounds around the chain to form a long triangular panel.
  2. Outer ear: orange, same size but add extra row at base so orange shows when sewn. Sew inner to outer and stuff lightly at base to give rigidity. Add extra tuft of orange yarn that is sewn into the ear opening.

Tail

Make a long tapered tail with color changes: start cream, change to orange at the tip and add tuft.

Legs and Arms

Small legs and arms as simple tubes or flattened ovals.

Assembly & Face

  1. Sew muzzle with small embroidered nose and mouth.
  2. Position ears high and slightly forward.
  3. Attach tail to back and add a few embroidered accent lines on tail to make it feathery.

Tips

  • Use wire inside ear base for posing (not for small children).
  • Use fuzzy/eyelash yarn for ear tufts for extra fluff.

5. Lugia Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Skill level: Advanced (wing shaping, long neck & tail)
Finished size: ~10–12″ (25–30 cm) wingspan depends on yarn/hook — this is a larger project.
Materials

  • Worsted or aran weight yarn: white (body), pale blue (belly, wing accents), navy (eye markings)
  • Hook: 4.0–5.0 mm
  • Safety eyes 8–10 mm or embroidered eyes, polyfill, wires for wing pose (optional), yarn needle

Body & Neck

Lugia is dragon-like with a long neck. Work an elongated body with the head worked as smaller oval and the neck as a tube connecting head and body.

Head
Start MR 6, inc to 12, 18, 24 — keep rounds short and sew head to a long neck tube of 6–8 rounds at consistent stitch count.

Body
Work a larger oval shaped body by increasing to 40–50 sts depending on desired size, work even rounds for body height, then decrease towards tail end.

Wings (Make 2)

Wings are large and flat with a fin-like shape:

  1. Chain a long foundation (ch 30–40 depending on wingspan).
  2. Work rows of hdc/dc back and forth, decreasing on one side to form a tapered fin. Add pale blue decorative stripes via surface crochet or color changes. Make two identical panels and seam around lightly, stuffing the base only for stability. Optionally insert thin wire into wing channel to pose wings.

Tail

Long tapering tail worked in rounds, gradually decreasing to a point. Add finlets on the tail top by crocheting small pointed triangles sewn along the dorsal side.

Legs & Feet

Short stout legs with three toes: make a small tube and crochet separate toe pieces (three little arcs) and sew to foot base.

Assembly

  1. Attach neck and head to body.
  2. Sew wings to shoulder area; reinforce with extra stitching. If using wire, enclose wire in a crocheted channel.
  3. Attach tail and legs. Embroider navy eye markings and add small embroidered mouth.

Tips & Variations

  • Because Lugia is large, consider sewing a fabric lining for wings for cleaner seams.
  • For collectors, make a smaller keychain-sized Lugia using DK yarn and 2.5–3.0 mm hook.

6. Clefairy Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Skill level: Beginner–Intermediate (simple rounded shapes + small wings)
Finished size: ~5″ (12–13 cm) tall
Materials

  • Worsted yarn: pale pink, darker pink for cheeks, white for wings
  • Hook: 3.5–4.0 mm
  • Safety eyes 6–8 mm (or embroidered), polyfill, yarn needle

Head & Body (joined/seamless)

Work a round head and slightly squat body; Clefairy has a single rounded silhouette so you can crochet head and body as one piece or join head to body.

Head

  1. MR 6, inc to 12, 18, 24, 30; sc around for several rounds then begin to decrease as for a sphere. Insert eyes between rounds 7–8.

Body
After decreasing the head, join new color/continue to create a small body by increasing slightly and then decreasing to close at bottom.

Arms

Make small short stubs (MR 6, sc around 2–3 rounds) and flatten to create little hands.

Feet

Make tiny ovals (ch 5, sc across 4, 3 rows) and flatten.

Ears & Head Tuft

Small triangular ears: ch 3, sc across then work rows and decrease to make a pointed ear. Clefairy has a tuft at top — crochet a small bobble cluster and sew centered on head.

Wings (Make 2)

Small rounded wings:

  1. MR 6, inc to 12, sc, inc around to shape a small oval. Flatten and sew to back.

Assembly

  1. Place arms to sides, feet to bottom.
  2. Sew wings slightly below shoulder line.
  3. Add rosy cheeks: embroider small circles or sew crocheted rounds.
  4. Add a tiny mouth and sparkle in the eye with a white embroidered dot.

Tips

  • For a kawaii look, use larger-than-proportion eyes and big cheeks.
  • Use velvet chenille yarn for a squishy, plush Clefairy.

7. Psyduck Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Skill level: Beginner–Intermediate (flat bill shaping)
Finished size: ~6–7″ (15–18 cm) tall
Materials

  • Worsted yarn: yellow, orange for bill, black for eyes (or safety eyes)
  • Hook: 3.5–4.0 mm
  • Polyfill, yarn needle, stitch marker

Head & Body (one piece)

Psyduck has a round head/body, so work a large sphere a bit deeper than wide:

  1. MR 6, inc to 12, 18, 24, 30, 36. Work even for several rounds (36) to create the large bulbous head/body. Then decrease bottom and leave opening for stuffing.

Bill (flat, oval)

  1. Ch 12, sc in 2nd ch and across (11). Turn.
    2–4. Sc across for 3 rows to make a flat oval. Round the ends by adding sc in side stitches to make an oval shape. Use orange yarn and stuff lightly if you want a slightly 3D bill. Sew centered on front of head with a small gap at top to create the confused Psyduck expression.

Feet & Arms

  • Small triangular feet: ch 6, sc across (5), work a few rows and shape into webbed toes by sc two sections and leaving a small dividing stitch.
  • Arms: MR 6, sc around 3–4 rounds and flatten.

Top Feather

Make three little spikes: ch 4, sc back along chain; make three and sew to top center.

Eyes & Expression

  • Place safety eyes above bill or embroider round eyes for toy safety. Embroider little eyebrows to give Psyduck the classic puzzled look.

Assembly

  • Sew bill firmly to face.
  • Attach arms at sides low and feet at bottom front.
  • Add top feather tuft.

Tips

  • Use a smaller hook than yarn label suggests for tight stitches to keep stuffing concealed.
  • To create the classic arms-holding-head look, crochet arms slightly longer so you can sew them positioned up near the head.
