GROWLIC

This is a Pokemon-styled concept that an Etsy customer created and asked if I could create a plush of.  Of course, in tradition of our motto at Crochet Fanatic – “You dream it, we create it”, I brought his concept to life in plush.  This is the female version of Howlic, a Pokemon concept my Pokemon-obsessed Etsy customer created.  He has also created a drawing of Growlic’s first evolution (Growlogan) and second evolution (Growlagor).  This is the pattern for Growlic.  He has also sent me a drawing of Howlic’s first evolution (Howlogan) and second evolution (Howlagor).  The pattern for the others are coming soon.
