Pokemon have become extremely popular across the world.  Tangela became an instant favorite of my daughters as soon as she saw a picture of him.  She insisted that I make her one.  This pattern includes the color lists for both Tangela and Shiny Tangela.

TANGLES:
The tangles are made from a series of chains.  To start, ch 3, slip st in any sc of BODY, ch again between 3 to 8 chains, slip st again in BODY.  Continue to chain and slip st randomly moving around the BODY.  Finish the TANGLES with a ch 3.  The TANGLES are so random that there is really no pattern.
