About This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a small Azumarill amigurumi with a rounded, egg-like body, felt facial features and a long tail with a pom-pom end. It includes detailed round-by-round instructions for the body, feet, arms, ears, tail and tail ball, plus assembly notes. The waves on the white section are formed by working in front loops and then sewing them to create a scalloped effect.

Why You'll Love This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple stitches into a charming Pokemon companion with personality. I enjoy the subtle shaping technique used for the wave detail on the belly — it gives the piece a unique, custom look. The design is compact but full of character, with felt eyes and a pom-pom tail that really finish it off. I also appreciate that the pattern is flexible, letting you add your own dot patterns and facial expressions to make each Azumarill one-of-a-kind.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to change the personality of this Azumarill by swapping colors; try pastel blues or mint greens for a softer look.

I often make mini versions by using fingering or sport weight yarn with a smaller hook to create tiny keychain pals.

I sometimes go chunkier with bulky yarn and a larger hook to make a squishy, huggable version that is great as a pillow buddy.

I like adding safety eyes instead of felt for a glossier, toy-safe finish when the recipient is older and eyes can be safely attached.

I customize the dots using embroidery or different sized felt circles to give each Azumarill a unique spotted pattern.

I sometimes embroider a smile or change the mouth shape from felt to stitched for subtle expression changes.

For posability, I have experimented with thin floral wire inside the arms and tail, which lets me pose the limbs slightly.

I recommend trying different tail lengths and pom-pom sizes for playful proportions; larger balls create a cuter silhouette.

Instead of sewing the ear insets, I have used contrasting yarn to crochet a small inner ear and whipstitched it in for texture variation.

When gifting, I like to make a tiny scarf or bow using leftover yarn to give each Azumarill a little outfit and personality.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the front loop round (Rnd 12) will flatten the wave detail; follow the instructions to work in front loops only and then sew the waves up to the blue section to achieve the scalloped look. ✗ Not stuffing early enough causes the body to be difficult to shape later; begin stuffing around Rnd 18 and shape as you go to maintain a smooth egg shape. ✗ Failing to weave the tail through and secure it properly will leave an opening at the base; weave the tail through the final round, tug to close, and secure the yarn well before weaving in the end. ✗ Using too loose a tension will let stuffing show through and make the toy floppy; choose a hook and maintain a tight stitch so the fill does not show through the fabric.

F/O white. (the 'waves' you've created may want to curve back to the front for now, that's ok.) (40)

Rnd 13 :

If you look just behind the round you just worked, you'll notice a 'line' of free loops (the back loop that was not worked through). Attach your blue yarn to one of these loops and sc in the same loop. Sc in each remaining loop around (40)

Secure the yarn well and weave in end. Using white sewing thread and sewing needle, carefully sew the 'waves' that are in front up to the blue section so that they're even and create the 'wave' effect desired around.

Rnd 7 :

sc in next sc, dec over next 2 sc around (12)

Rnd 8 :

dec over next 2 sc around (6)

Info :

F/O. Add any stuffing needed to finish the shape. Just before you tug up the opening, insert the other end of the tail, pull tails to close opening and using yarn needle, secure the opening and end of tail. Weave in the loose end.

— Final Assembly :

Info :

Feet are sew to bottom of body as shown in photos. Arms are sewn to the side of body just above the 'wave' of the white section.

Info :

Ears are sewn to top of head as shown. Face details are made by cutting out small ovals for eyes, and the mouth shape from felt and gluing or sewing them on. (tiny white bits of felt for the catchlights in the eyes are easiest glued where possible a small dot of white fabric paint also works)

Info :

Cut various sized circles for the 'dots' across the body. I didn't do the circles around the back of mine, but you can if you like. I'm sure in 'pokemon nature' no two azumarill's dots are exactly the same

Assembly Instructions

  • Weave the tail through the final round of the body, tug to close the opening securely and weave in ends to hide the tail inside the doll.
  • Sew feet to the bottom of the body, spacing them evenly so the toy sits upright and secure with several passes of sewing thread.
  • Attach arms to the sides of the body just above the white 'wave' section, angling slightly forward for a natural pose, and sew firmly.
  • Sew ears to the top of the head and add pink felt insets inside the ears using sewing thread or fabric glue to secure them neatly.

Important Notes

  • 💡Gauge is not critical but use a hook and yarn that produce tight stitches so stuffing does not show through.
  • 💡Begin stuffing around Rnd 18 and continue to stuff and shape as you progress to maintain a smooth egg shape.
  • 💡Weave tails and excess yarn into the body rather than knotting on the surface to keep the finished piece tidy and durable.

This Azumarill amigurumi pattern gives you a sweet, display-ready Pokemon with felt features and a playful pom-pom tail. Make it for gifts, decor, or to expand your amigurumi collection. Have fun customizing the spots and expression to make each one unique! 🧶😊
