SHAYMIN (LAND FORM)

 This is a pattern for Shaymin (Land form) in be a companion to Shaymin (Sky form).  The most time-consuming part of Shaymin (land form) is fringing on the hair.  Once I got him done, my daughter commented, ”So, cute!” as she ran off with him.  Thank goodness this was not an item that originally intended to be for an Etsy customer.  This pattern includes the color lists Shaymin (Land form) and Shiny Shaymin (Land form).
