Chunky-
• This pattern is worked in a continuous spiral without
353 Blush Pink joining rounds. I recommend placing a stitch marker
310 Coffee Bean in the last stitch of each round so you don’t lose
count of the stitches.
• You can use any yarn for this project, but please
note that the size of the finished piece may vary. I
recommend using one hook size smaller than your
yarn suggests.

Tutorials
Yarning Under
In this pattern I yarn under instead of over in my single
crochet stitches. This causes the stitches to be tighter and
lean less. This method is completely optional- but here is a
tutorial!
Insert your hook into the desired stitch, then yarn under and
pull through
Yarn under again and pull through both loops. You can tell
that you have yarned under correctly if your stitches look like
‘x’s instead of ‘v’s

1. Sew eye highlights to eyes as pictured.
2. Sew eyes and cheeks to head. The eyes are positioned over
rounds 17-19 with 4 stitches showing between them. Make
sure the highlights are positioned on the top. The cheeks sit
horizontally between rounds 20/21, 1 stitch away from the eyes
on either side. There should be 7 stitches showing between
them.

4. Sew ears to either side of the head (with Cleffa’s face centrally
in between), over rounds 7-22. They should be 7 stitches away
from the cheeks on either side.

8. Sew tail to back of body as pictured. First, sew the open end of
the tail centrally over rounds 33-36. Then, curl the rest of the tail
upwards to form a spiral shape. Pin in place, then- using a spare
tail of pink yarn- add a lot of stitches throughout the curl so it
holds its shape.
