#992 IRON HANDS

Iron Hands is the dual-type Fighting/Electric Paradox Pokemon. Iron Hands was introduced in Pokemon Scarlet/ Violet. The game states that there is no knowledge whether Iron Hands evolves into or from any other Pokemon, but it does appear to be an ancient relative of Hariyama. This pattern includes the color lists for both Iron Hands and Shiny Iron Hands.

The hardest part of Iron Hands was making his hands look like that are not attached to his body. At first, I was just going to glue some clear plastic tubing between the yellow circle on the back of the hands and the yellow circle on the body. Unfortunately, the tubing I used would not holding the hands up. So, I used the fishing line as support the tubing just the same way that the cables do on the bridge.

Worsted Weight Yarn (Shiny color substitute in parenthesis): Gray, yellow, charcoal, black, and navy blue (pewter).
B crochet hook
