HOWLOGAN

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.  Howlogan is the Stage one evolution of Howlic.  Howlic’s Stage 2 evolution (Howlagor) is coming soon.
