Stuffed Crochet: 2017

So this is my first post in a very long time! I made this Wartortle for my brother a few months ago following one of Aphid777's amazing patterns. I followed her Squirtle pattern which can be found here!

The main reason I decided to post again is because I made up my own patterns for the ears and tail, and I wrote them down so I could give back to the free pattern community! I finally got around to typing them up today, so I figured I'd make a post before I forgot. 😊

Let me know if there is any confusion or if you catch a mistake! I'm always happy to help!

Note: I don’t have an exact count on how long each end is. I forgot to count it, but I know each end is about 16 rounds so adjust the length as necessary 😊

Fasten off and leave a tail. Roll each end in and attach to middle section. I used the tail on one end and some scrap yarn of the same color for the other end. (See pictures for reference)

Here are a few progress pictures I took for my brother along the way.
