[ENGLISH] Plusle amigurumi english pattern

Patrón de plusle en español aquí.

A few weeks ago, I posted the pattern for Minun, the Electric-type Pokémon from the third generation, who is inseparable from its partner Plusle. Plusle is identical to Minun except that its charge is positive, so its color scheme is different and its tail represents a positive symbol ("+"). To make it easier, I’ve brought the pattern for Plusle here.

🧵 Materials

I will use American abbreviations to make it easy to understand. SC - single crochet INC - increase DEC - decrease CH - chain SLST - slip stitch DC - double crochets

In this pattern, I used red, 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.

⚡ Video result

Here I show you the process on a vide and I highlight the most difficult points:

✅ Sizes

As always, when working with amigurumi, the materials are important for the final size. I made this same pattern using yarn with a 1.5mm thickness, and as you can see on the following video, the head of the amigurumi is almost as large as the entire microamigurumi.
