Pokémon enthusiasts and crochet lovers will be delighted to learn how to make a miniature version of the adorable Mimikyu. With just a few simple materials and basic crochet techniques, you can create your very own cute Pokémon companion. Follow this step-by-step tutorial to bring this beloved character to life.

Introduction

Mimikyu is a cute and mysterious Pokémon that has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. In this tutorial, you will learn how to crochet a miniature version of Mimikyu using various colors of yarn and a crochet hook. The pattern is easy to follow, making it suitable for beginners and experienced crocheters alike.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, gather the following materials:

• Yellow yarn
• Black yarn
• Light brown yarn
• Red or dark pink yarn
• Stuffing
• 3mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Head

We will start by creating the head of our mimikyu. The head is made using a combination of increasing stitches and single crochets. Follow the steps below to crochet the head:

1. Creating the Magic Ring: Start with a magic ring of 6 stitches. Close the ring by making a slip stitch in the first stitch.
2. Increasing Stitches: Make a chain to raise the fabric, then make a single crochet in the same stitch. Mark this stitch as the starting point. Continue with an increase in each stitch, resulting in a total of 12 stitches.
3. Continuing with Single Crochets: Crochet a round of 18 single crochets. Continue with 5 single crochets and an increase, repeating three times to have 21 stitches. Crochet another round of 21 single crochets. Continue with 6 single crochets and an increase, repeating three times to have 24 stitches. Crochet two rounds of 24 single crochets.

Body

After completing the head, we will move on to crocheting the body. Similar to the head, the body consists of increasing stitches and single crochets. Follow these steps to crochet the body:

1. Starting the Magic Ring: Begin with a magic ring of 6 points. Increase each point to have 12 points.
2. Increasing Stitches: Continue with three single crochets and an increase, repeating three times for a total of 15 points. Repeat this process with 4 single crochets and an increase, resulting in 18 stitches.
3. Continuing with Single Crochets: Crochet a round of 18 single crochets. Continue with 5 single crochets and an increase, repeating three times for 21 stitches. Crochet a round of 21 single crochets. Continue with 6 single crochets and an increase, repeating three times for 24 stitches. Finish with two rounds of 24 single crochets.

Lower Part of Body

The lower part of the body features curved sections, which will be created using slip stitches. Follow these steps to crochet the lower part of the body:

1. Creating Curves with Yarn: Work on the front yarn. Raise the fabric by making a chain, then make a half double crochet in the next stitch. Make a chain at the same point where you finished the half double crochet. Repeat this process until you have eight little curves.
2. Crocheting Slip Stitches: Cut the thread and close. Fill the head with stuffing. Place the body below the head, aligning the curves between the joints. Sew the body and head together using a yarn needle and black yarn.

Ears

Mimikyu has unique ears that add to its charm. Crochet the ears following these steps:

1. Starting with Black Yarn: Create a magic ring of three points. Increase each point to have six points.
2. Joining Yellow Yarn: Turn the piece and change to yellow yarn. Make eight slip stitches through the back yarn. Close with a slip stitch. Chain one to lift the fabric.
3. Attaching the Ears: Pass the hook through the back yarn and continue with single crochets, hugging the slipped stitches. Crochet a round of eight single crochets. Repeat this process once more. Cut and close. Repeat to make the second ear. Fill the ears with a small amount of stuffing.

Brown Tail

The adorable mimikyu has a brown tail that completes its appearance. Crochet the tail using the following instructions:

1. Creating a Chain: Make a chain of two stitches.
2. Crocheting Single Crochets: Crochet a round of two single crochets. Place the excess thread between the yarn and the fabric. Crochet two more rounds of two single crochets.
3. Joining the Tail: Make two stitches and an increase, resulting in four stitches. Crochet one more round of four single crochets.

Joining the Pieces

Once you have completed the individual parts, it's time to join them together to form the complete mimikyu. Follow these steps for assembly:

1. Attaching the Body and Head: Align the body with the black part and accommodate the curves. Sew the body and head together using a yarn needle and black yarn.
2. Placing the Ears and Tail: Position the ears between the third and sixth turns of the head. Use pins to secure them in place. Attach the tail to the back of the body, slightly inclined towards the front. Sew the ears and tail securely.

Sewing the Details

Give the mimikyu its adorable facial features by sewing the details using different colored threads. Follow these steps:

1. Adding Black Stitches for the Face: Use black thread to sew lines that form a circle around the eyes. These lines do not need to be perfectly straight, as they mimic the scratches on mimikyu's face.
2. Sewing the Eyes and Mouth: Sew the eyes and mouth using black thread, following the circular lines as a guide. Create a zigzag pattern for the mouth.
3. Creating Red Badges: Use red thread to sew lines for the badges on mimikyu's body. Remember that the lines can be slightly uneven and do not need to be uniform.
