This project emphasizes simple amigurumi shaping, clear color changes, and clever little details like felt spots and fangs for an authentic touch. Whether you’re a Pokémon enthusiast or just learning amigurumi, this pattern is fun, educational, and rewarding!
Quick Overview Of Pattern
- Worked in seamless rounds, Spheal's body builds from a sphere shape in blue and off-white.

Notes
- Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds.
