Description

I'm still alive!  And it's Charmander!  I'm planning on entering this into 's current contest, Pokemon!  Though not this photo because I want to finish all the starters from the first games and a group photo is a must!

Anyway, I'm planning on writing out the patterns for all of them so as usual, please credit me should you use or reference the pattern.  It really does take me a lot of time to write these out!  Also, please don't sell the pattern or finished product since I do not own these characters!  Let me know if you catch any errors!  Thank you!

-Repeat previous step 4 times
-Sc 5, inc, sc 2, inc, sc 3, inc, sc 5 (21)
-FO

**The flame at the end of the tail was made by brushing out yarn.  I was trying to figure out how to make the flames look  more "flame-like" and ended up using this tutorial:   by as a guide.  I ironed the brushed out yarn instead of using a hair straightener since I didn't have one, but it seemed to do the trick!

**The eyes and nails are needle felted though I'm sure cut out felt will also work!

Wait, the head/body... I think the 14th line down: " -Sc 9, dec, Sc 6, dec, sc 6, dec, sc 9 (40)" I think it's missing a sc 6, dec -- at least, I'm coming up with 33 as the total there.

It's adorable~ >w< 


A little tip about brushing the tail to make it more flame-like, I recommend using Simply Soft yarn. That version of acrylic brushes out really nicely without the need of a straightener. ^w^ It's the yarn that I used on my baby yak that I'm auctioning later. XD

aphid777 In reply to altearithe [2014-01-22 22:52:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the tip!  I'll definitely have to try that brand since I already love how soft and shiny it is  And saving me the extra work is a bonus!  Can't wait to see how your yak turns out!

altearithe In reply to aphid777 [2014-01-22 23:23:11 +0000 UTC]

It's my pleasure. >w< We crafters gotta stick together after all.  

It's been my favorite for years, but finding out how nicely it brushes out was a very nice plus. XD 


You're going to love it. XD He's so cute and fluffy~

aphid777 In reply to altearithe [2014-01-25 19:28:01 +0000 UTC]

It's definitely softer and thinner so it must work really well for the tiny cuties you make  You know me and my humongous stuff....  


I was going to say that I can't wait to see it, but then I saw it!  He is SO cute ^^

altearithe In reply to aphid777 [2014-01-25 19:45:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh gosh no, it's much too big for my wee ones. XD I use wool fingering yarn from knitpicks for those. But Simply Soft is amazing for hand-sized guys. :3 

Oh gosh, yeah. XDD Sometimes I think you're insane for making giant things, but I love them.  


I hoped you'd like him. >w< He's so crazy fluffy that I'm still surprised how well he was brushed. @ w @

I need to try the Sport version and see if it brushes out as nicely, actually.

aphid777 In reply to altearithe [2014-01-26 18:21:14 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes that's true, I do remember you mentioning that you use fingering yarn  Maybe someday I'll have to get into making tiny things though I feel like I'd give myself arthritis... or I'd lose them!  I'm a mess.. haha  Best of luck with your auction!  He is so super fluffy, I love it!

Aw, this is so cute! Charmander looks adorable, and those needlefelt eyes are super cute and add a very endearing quality to it~ AND THOSE LITTLE TOES GAH - oddly(?) that's one of my favourite parts, like I just want to reach out and play with its little feet. <3

And the little flame on the tail is perfect! I love what those wire brushes can accomplish with yarn, as well as what you can do with an iron or a straightener. Yarn is remarkably versatile.

Thanks so much!  Yarn is such an amazing medium  I actually went outside in single degree weather to take pictures and realized... I FORGOT HIS TOES.  So I had to make them really quick before it got dark to retake photos.  Made it in time
