About This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

This Azumarill pattern creates a delightful egg-shaped Pokemon character with distinctive wave detailing around the middle. You'll work with both blue and white yarn to capture Azumarill's signature look, complete with long ears, a zigzag tail with a blue ball tip, and adorable felt details for the face and spots. The pattern includes clever techniques like working in front loops only to create dimensional waves.

Why You'll Love This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it perfectly captures Azumarill's adorable personality! The wave detail technique creates such a unique dimensional effect that really brings the character to life. I'm particularly proud of how the color transition works - that moment when you attach the blue yarn behind the white waves is so satisfying. The pattern uses simple stitches in creative ways, making it accessible while still feeling special and rewarding to complete. What I really enjoy is how forgiving the design is - you can adjust the stuffing and shaping as you go to get exactly the look you want, and the felt details give you room to add your own personality to each piece.

Switch Things Up

I love how customizable this Azumarill pattern is! You can easily adjust the size by changing your yarn weight and hook size - use bulky yarn for a large cuddly version, or sport weight for a tiny desktop companion.

Want to make it your own? Try different colors for a shiny Azumarill variation! The shiny version features a golden-yellow body instead of blue, which creates a stunning alternative that's still instantly recognizable.

I often experiment with the felt details - you can embroider the facial features instead for a different look, or use safety eyes combined with embroidered mouth for added dimension. Some crafters even add eyelashes for extra cuteness!

The spot placement is entirely up to you! The pattern mentions you can add spots around the back or keep them just on the front. I recommend playing with different sizes and arrangements before gluing them permanently.

For an extra special touch, consider adding wire to the ears so they can be posed in different positions. You could also create tiny accessories like a little scarf or bow to personalize your Azumarill.

If you're making this for a child, be sure to embroider all features securely rather than using glue, and skip the wire additions for safety. The pattern is flexible enough to accommodate these modifications while maintaining the adorable character!

Don't be afraid to adjust the tail length or ball size to your preference - some people prefer a longer zigzag tail, while others like a shorter, bouncier version. It's all about what makes you happy!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Overstuffing the body can distort the egg shape and make the wave details buckle; stuff firmly but allow the piece to maintain its natural rounded form without stretching. ✗ Forgetting to work in front loops only on round 12 will eliminate the wave effect; pay close attention to the instruction and work only through the front loop of each stitch. ✗ Not securing the white waves properly to the blue section leaves them curling awkwardly; use white thread and small stitches to tack them neatly in place around the body. ✗ Flattening pieces incorrectly can create uneven edges; when flattening arms, feet, and ears, align the stitches evenly before crocheting through both layers. ✗ Placing felt details before fully assembling can result in poor positioning; pin all pieces in place and step back to check proportions before permanently attaching anything.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew feet to the bottom of the body as shown in the reference photos, positioning them evenly and ensuring they provide a stable base for the doll to sit.
  • Attach arms to the side of the body just above the wave detail of the white section, angling them slightly forward for a natural pose.
  • Position ears on the top of the head as shown in photos, spacing them appropriately and sewing securely with matching thread.
  • Attach the black zigzag tail to the bottom back of the body, then secure the blue ball to the end of the tail using the yarn tails and a tapestry needle.
  • Cut small oval shapes from felt for the eyes and mouth shape, and glue or sew them onto the face, adding tiny white felt pieces or fabric paint dots for eye highlights.
  • Cut various sized circles from blue felt for the decorative spots across the body and attach them with glue or thread in a pleasing pattern.

Important Notes

  • 💡Gauge isn't terribly important here, but your choice of hook and yarn should result in a tight stitch that won't allow the fill to show through.
  • 💡The waves created in round 12 may curl forward initially - this is normal and will be corrected when you sew them to the blue section.
  • 💡When working round 13, look for the line of free back loops behind the wave round to attach your blue yarn.
  • 💡Stuff the body firmly but not too tightly to maintain the proper egg shape without distorting the wave details.
  • 💡Numbers at the end of each round indicate the total number of stitches that should be in that round - count regularly to stay on track.

FAQs

What size will the finished Azumarill be?

The finished size depends on your yarn weight and hook size. Using worsted weight yarn with a G hook will create an Azumarill approximately 5-6 inches tall in an egg shape.

Do I need to stuff all the parts?

No, only the body and the ball of the tail need stuffing. The arms, feet, and ears are deliberately left unstuffed and flattened for the proper look and proportions.

How do I create the wave effect around the body?

Round 12 uses front loops only with varying stitch heights to create dimensional waves. After working the blue section, you'll sew these waves up to the blue part using white thread to secure them in place.

Can I use safety eyes instead of felt?

While the pattern calls for felt eyes, you could use safety eyes if you prefer. However, felt gives more control over the exact shape and expression, which is important for capturing Azumarill's look.

Where can I find reference photos for assembly?

The pattern mentions reference photos throughout. Search for Azumarill images online to see the character's features, and use these as guides for positioning the ears, spots, and facial features.
