Description
I finally got around to tracing out the pattern I made my gyarados plushie with. This is by far the most complicated pattern I have designed yet- it has a total of 50 pattern pieces. It is still not perfected. You will notice that 3 of the pieces on the first page have orange segments (and 2 of the side pieces on the second page have orange lines). These segments indicate parts of the pieces that were in my initial design, yet because of the overlap of the pieces once assembled, ended up hidden within the plush, and may be able to be omitted in the actual construction. I also used purple dotted lines to indicate which pieces fold over, and red lines and arrows to indicate how different pieces connect. I should also note that all of these pieces (except perhaps the tail ribs piece) do not include a seam allowance, and the tail fin should have said "x2 (or x4)", as the other fin piece does (I only cut 2 of each, since I was using felt and fleece, which are double sided and do not fray, but if you want to use a different fabric which does fray and/or is not double sided, 4 pieces of each will likely be necessary). I also do not recommend making it this size, as many of the tiny details were extremely difficult and lost a bit of their intended shape due to the size, so anyone who tries out this pattern should enlarge it a bit. If I decide to make another gyarados plush, I may make a tutorial and update this pattern. But if that does happen, it will probably not be for awhile. In the meantime, if anyone wants to attempt to use this pattern, I'll do my best to answer any questions about the pattern and how to assemble the pieces (just like all my other patterns).
