Galarian Slowpoke (ガラルヤドン)

Amigurumi Pattern
By Cindy Tran from Frog & Fasten

With the recent release of the Isle of

Armour and the Crown Tundra on upon the
horizon, I want to shine the spotlight on one
of my favourite Pokémon: Slowpoke! He’s
been a favourite of mine since Gen 1, but I
was so excited to see him get a regional
variant in the latest generation.

One of the things I like best about Slowpoke

his how unfit he looks for battle. He’s just
the cutest, dopiest little nugget around. I
hope you enjoy adding him to your
collection as much as I did!

If you decide to try this pattern out, please share photos of your creations on Instagram
(@frogandfasten #frogandfasten) and Ravelry! I’d love to see them!

If anything is unclear or I made a mistake somewhere along the way, please let me know.
Feedback helps me improve and share better patterns in the future! 

 Pattern Notes
Most components of this pattern are worked in the round. Some of the rounds will be
crocheted in back loops only, or in both loops. If it is not explicitly stated in the pattern,
crochet in both loops.

Slowpoke’s head includes half-colour changes. If you’ve never done a half-colour change,
here’s a tutorial by Once Upon a Cheerio: http://www.onceuponacheerio.com/2019/07/
