#154 Meganium

I have found a pattern for Chikorita (http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2010/07/chikorita-plushie.html) and Bayleef (http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2010/04/bayleef-plushie.html).  I have yet to find a pattern for Meganium.  So, I decided to design one of my own.  I altered the tail pattern after making the one pictured.  The tail will be much shorter if you follow the pattern.

Materials:

Worsted Weight Yarn:  Spring green, White, and Pink

Small amount of yellow and black yarn

Yellow chenille stem

Craft glue

G crochet hook

Sewing needle

Poly-Fil®

4 small circles of cardboard (optional)

Body:

With Spring Green,

Rd 1:               work 6 sc in a magic ring , or ch 2 and work 6 sc in the first ch (6)

From here on we start working on the tail. Stuff your body and tail firmly as you go along after Rd 38, it’s becoming impossible to stuff further.
