Description
I'm still around, everyone. Thanks for all the messages.
This little guy was a commission I had, and I did my best to keep track of what I was doing while making him. I always get requests for patterns, but I am a free-hand crocheter. This is my first attempt at a pattern. I'm offering this tutorial for free, because he frankly isn't very complicated. I apologize for my lack of a detail fur tutorial. I am working on one, however. ---- PLEASE READ FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY---
I want to gauge interest for future patterns; if you use this pattern, please leave a comment.
Also, I don't like having to say this sort of thing but here we go: You may not sell or reproduce this pattern in any way. Do not claim this pattern or plush as your own design. I will not dictate what you do with the physical plush you construct from the pattern, but the pattern is my property. If you sell the product of this design, please credit me. Please respect the work I have put into the concept. Lastly, Mightyena, as a Pokemon, is owned by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures; I make no claim to him.
With that ugliness aside, I hope you enjoy making a Mightyena of your very own.

Just happened to stumble across this guy while searching for pokemon patterns... He's so cute! Thank you so much for sharing the pattern. Once I finish the other 8,000 wips I have, I will definitely give it a go XD;

Hi there! My friend Liz and I love your work!
I noticed you have open and shut commissions available, and to look to your journal for more information. Forgive me, I can't seem to find the right post - what are your rates?

I'm glad you like my work.
Yeah, my journal is sort of a mess right now. I apologize. My rates vary on size and complexity. I usually give estimates based on the idea a commissioner proposes to me.

It's so funny to be randomly browsing around and see this again. A year ago, I thought I'd never be able to learn how to crochet. Tonight (well, this morning really, don't judge me), I'm sitting here with a blanket in my lap working away on my first V-stitch pattern. Last night I made my very first toy too, a fairy from Legend of Zelda! She's not perfect, one of her wings is a little weird and you can tell my stitches are too loose near the bottom, but I'm still super in love with her. Thanks for being one of the crochet artists who inspired me to try!

Thank you so much for the compliment! I never thought I was good enough at this to be very inspirational. I look through my portfolio sometimes and just cringe. I feel like if I weren't so impatient, then I would be able to put a lot more detail into them or do a better job with body pieces. I think this is partially why I have decided to slow down commission intakes. I can take my time and not have to worry about always assembly lining everything.
Ironically, I can't make blankets. I don't have the patience to make anything useful, so I envy you already!
