Hello crochet friends!
When I first posted about the little Latios and Latias Pokemon I free handed for my boys, I was not expecting so many people would love them and be interested in the patterns to make them! Almost a year later, I finally took the time to sit down and properly work out what I had done. I thought I would make them even cuter and use some soft plushy yarn. The instructions are written for plush yarn, but the pattern works great in both plush and cotton yarns. If you make your own Latios, I would love to see it!
If you’re interested in more Pokemon amigurumi, I also have some other patterns, which you can find by clicking the buttons below.
Happy crochet!
