Vaporeon

Vaporeon



After making the two Eeveelutions available online from WolfDreamer's Umbreon I decided I wanted one of my own. With that said, I made my Vaporeon and WolfDreamer has given me permission to link to her pattern. The head, body and legs are the same as for Umbreon, please go to the above link to see the instructions and her many other awesome Pokemon amigurumi patterns on her blog. The rest of the details can be found here.

Row 4: Sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat across, ch 1, turn (70 sc)

With wrong sides facing each other, sew rows 1 and 4 of each collar piece together. Weave in remaining ends.
