Hello crochet friends!
In the last few months, I may have fallen into a Pokemon Pokopia black hole! I’ve always loved cosy games, and this one is no exception, especially because it also includes one of my other obsessions, Pokemon! I’ve had many projects featuring Pokemon over the years, but recently, my boys have been asking for more crochet Pokemon plushies. In honour of Pokopia, I just had to create a Ditto. This tiny Ditto is perfect to use leftover pink yarn, and it also fits in its very own 5 cm poke ball capsule! I’ve also added a keyring to the one I made for my eldest, and he loves being able to attach him to his school bag.
Materials
• DK or 8ply yarn in pink and black (I like the Ricorumi DK*)
