LUGIA

This is the next in the long list of Pokemon that a customer of mine on Etsy has requested.  Lugia has actually been one of my favorite Pokemon since taking my little brother to see the movie “Pokemon:  The Movie 2000”.  I will probably at some point make Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.  This pattern includes the yarn colors for making Lugia and Shiny Lugia.
