Alright, that’s all of the pieces crocheted, on to assembly. As usual, I

like to pin the pieces together to get an idea of placemen t before
sewin g them on .

I’ve also put together a bit of a photo-collage of how I attach the

limbs, sin ce I’ve gotten a couple of question s lately. There’s n othin g
too fan cy goin g on here. I pin it in place first, an d then I basically
thread the n eedle through every stitch of the leg – you can see in the
pictures that I go through stitches in the body, an d then through the
leg, back through the body, back through the leg, etc. P lan etJun e has
a great tutorial.

I attach them in this order: legs to body first, then arms to body.
Then I take the little tail trian gles, pin them in place an d attach
them. Three go right across the bottom of the body, an d the other
two go in the spaces between them – kin d of like an upside down
version of the olympic rin gs. Take the tail of the trian gle, an d just
stitch alon g the open top edge.

Next I usually attach the ears to the head. The head also has a couple
of little fluffy bits – the bits of the “ frin ge” go between the ears, an d
the two bits of “ear fluff ” go just un dern eath the ears. The on e
un dern eath the right ear has already been sewn on in the picture
below.

I like to attach the head before the collar because it’s a little easier.
There should have been 2 4 stitches in the last roun d of the head an d
the last roun d of the body. S imply lin e them up, an d whipstitch
closed.

To attach the collar we’re goin g to wrap it aroun d the n eck twice.
S tart with the en d with the larger trian gles, an d pin it in place at the
back of the doll, then wrap the collar aroun d the n eck. When it gets
to the poin t where it overlaps, you wan t to pull it so that the smaller
trian gles lin e up with the gaps between the larger trian gles. Use the
tails to sew it in place – I don ’t bother goin g aroun d the en tire
collar, I usually secure it at every 3 rd trian gle or so, an d at the en ds.

An d you’re don e! Jolteon was actually a lot of fun on ce I solved the

trian gle dilema – I tossed up usin g felt, but like it a bit better when
the texture matches for most of the doll. As always, tag your
creation s 5 3 stitches on In stagram or Tumblr so I can fin d them.

Vaporeon will be up in the n ext couple of days, it’s taken a lon g time
to get all of these Eeveelution s fin ished! S oon I’ll be workin g on
some of the other P okemon that have been requested, keep an eye
out
