CLOYSTER

This is another request from an Etsy customer that was not on any “To Do” list given to me.  I will admit that Cloyster was one of the many Pokemon that I would have not made without someone willing to pay me to make.  So, because of that, here is the pattern that I came up with for Cloyster.  This pattern includes the color lists for both Cloyster and Shiny Cloyster.
