Qwilfish Amigurumi Pattern

Happy New Year! New Year, New Amigurumi! This time I’m sharing my Qwilfish pattern. This is a fairly simple pattern, it just has a lot of pieces to sew… and we all know how I feel about sewing!

My Qwilfish pattern consists of two parts:

Part 1 | Head & Body (Sun, 12 Jan at 17:00GMT)

Part 2 | Mouth, Spikes & Tail (Sun, 19 Jan at 17:00GMT)

Just a little disclaimer about the tail in part two… I’ve needle felted the little drop shapes on the tail, but I will not be showing you how to needle felt. I am not an expert, so if you want to give it a go I would highly reccomend asking our good, old pal google. They have the answer to most things it seems.

I also want to to say a big thank you to those of you who follow along, and especially those of you who have subscribed over on YouTube. Every minute watched is so, so appreciated! For the time being I’ve decided to only share my patterns over there in video form. If I reach the goals I’ve set for myself then I will share the written versions too eventually, but for that I would greatly appreciate your help! Please head over there and subscribe, watch, like - you know… the usual! Thank you so, so much in advance!

And with that… let’s get into some more details about the pattern.

YARN & HOOK

• 2mm hook

• Stylecraft Special DK in Bottle, Spring Green and Blush (Shiny: Magenta, Clematis and Blush)

• 6mm black safety eyes

• white felt

• Toy filling

• Pins to place pieces before sewing together

• Needle

• Stitch markers (I prefer using scrap yarn as “stitch markers”)

• Fibres in bottle (Shiny: magenta) for needle felting*

• Needle felting tool*

* Please note that I have used needle felting to create the markings on the tail. Needle felting is still quite new to me so I will not be including instructions on how to do this. You may want to seek out instructions for this from other makers online or look into alternative materials such as pieces of felt, or crocheting them. 

SIZE

Qwilfish’s body is approximately 7.5cm tall/wide, and approximately 16cm from lips to the tip of the tail

Weight: 50 grams (this includes all materials used to make Qwilfish)

STITCHES & ABBREVIATIONS – UK ENGLISH

dec decrease; insert hook in the front loop of the next two sts, yarn over, pull through both loops, y.o. and pull through remaining two loops. This is also referred to as an invisible decrease.

ASSEMBLY

Assemble in the same order the pattern is written. I would recommend using a photo of Qwilfish sourced from a card or the game as reference for best possible outcome (I like to screenshot the characters from Pokémon GO, as you can get all the angles). Pin all the pieces in place before sewing to make sure it looks right. Once all the crocheted pieces are attached use fabric glue to glue down the felt fastened with the safety eyes.
