F/O   Whip stitch or sew two tails together for a stronger, stiffer tail if desired.

Ok, so you should have your main body, two arms, two ears, and a tail. Go ahead and cut out two red felt ovals or circles for pikachu’s cheeks and two light brown stripes for the back. Sew these felt pieces on first. Then stuff the arms and ears and sew on all of the parts in the appropriate places.

As for the eyes, nose and mouth, I’ll explain what I did. For the eyes I bought safety plastic eyes from my local Joann’s fabrics store.

For the nose I took a 5” piece of black yarn and weaved it through the head where I wanted the nose to be and tied it, then hid the yarn ends inside the head.  

For the mouth I used black sewing thread to form a triangular teddy bear mouth. I think it’s cute.

You can use whatever methods you like, such as using felt, yarn or buttons for the eyes. Same goes with the nose and mouth. 

You're Finished   :D  

p.s.- If you find any errors in the pattern please, feel free to let me know and I will fix it.

Togepi Egg

Crochet Hook Size- G

Finished Measurements with using G hook- Approximately 7" tall and 17" in circumference at widest 

part. Make sure that you don't make the stitches too tight, or else the egg won't be very plushy.

Materials needed

-Red Heart Super Saver White

-Place Marker

-Red and Blue basic felt

-Scissors

-Yarn needle

-Sewing needle and thread for sewing the egg spots on. (Recommended, red and blue sewing thread to match felt colors)

With color White use the adjustable ring/circle method to work in the round and single crochet 12 stitches into the ring/circle. Place marker at the top of the last sc, then, start with round one. Remove marker once you get to the last stitch, and then replace it after the last sc of each round to keep your place.

Stuff the egg here. It’ll be a little lumpy at first, but it’ll smooth out after stuffing it full.

R29: *sc dec in next 2 sts… rep from * (6)

Stuff the project a tiny more if needed then F/O

Cut yarn and leave a tail. Weave tail through remaining stitches twice and pull the hole close and weave the yarn tail into the egg to hide it.

Pull the yarn tail at the beginning of the egg to tighten the top and weave it into the egg to hide it. Also, use a crochet hook to pull the little loop created by the adjustable ring/circle method into the egg to hide it

Now the last steps are for creating the egg spots out of felt

Step 1: Cut out 4-5 red and 4-5 blue felt pieces in the shape of triangles or rhombuses at different sizes (whatever shapes you want really). Make sure the corners are a bit rounded for the Togepi Spots. Cut out the middle of the felt pieces  as in the picture. You can always look up Togepi’s egg online to see pictures of the egg spots too.

Step 2: Now, sew red spots in the appropriate places with the red thread and needle, and the blue spots in their appropriate places as well with the blue thread and needle.

[A tip for great spots is to not pull too tightly on the sewing thread while sewing. Otherwise the spots will come out wavy after sewing]

You’re finished!  J
