⚡ Minun Pokemon, free english amigurumi pattern

Patrón en español aquí

Minun (not Minum as I thought) and Plusle are the electric Pokémon duo from the third generation that accompany you especially in the video game Pokémon Ranger while you solve the mysteries of Fiore. I keep making amigurumis from the series and I'm slowly crocheting my favorites. In this case, I decided to make the pattern myself and I quite liked the result

In this pattern, I used blue, cream, and black yarn along with a 0.5mm crochet hook. However, you can use any thickness you want as long as you use the appropriate hook. Additionally, I used a needle, scissors, and cotton for stuffing.
