About This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

This Azumarill pattern brings one of the most beloved water Pokemon to life in soft, cuddly yarn form. The pattern features careful attention to detail with the iconic white wave pattern around the belly, long rabbit-like ears with pink felt inserts, and the signature zigzag tail with its blue ball tip. Working in the round creates a seamless finish, while the combination of blue and white yarn perfectly captures Azumarill's distinctive coloring.

The design includes all of Azumarill's recognizable features from the cute spotted pattern across the body to the expressive face details made with felt appliques. This pattern results in a sturdy, huggable plush that stands up well to display or play.

Why You'll Love This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this Azumarill pattern because it perfectly captures the cheerful personality of this fan-favorite Pokemon! The wave detail around the belly is such a clever technique that really makes the design pop, and I find it so satisfying to watch that transition come together. What I appreciate most is how the pattern balances detail with practicality - the felt accents for the eyes, ears, and spots make finishing so much easier than trying to embroider everything. Plus, there's something incredibly rewarding about seeing those long ears take shape and creating that distinctive zigzag tail that makes Azumarill so recognizable.

Switch Things Up

I thoroughly enjoyed creating this Azumarill pattern because it perfectly combines clever construction techniques with adorable results that any Pokemon fan would treasure.

What makes this pattern special is the innovative wave detail around the belly - working in front loops only to create that textured transition between the white and blue sections is such a satisfying technique to master.

I love how the pattern balances structural elements like the egg-shaped body with whimsical details like those long rabbit ears and the playful zigzag tail.

The use of felt for the face details and body spots makes finishing so much more approachable than complicated embroidery work, yet still achieves that polished, professional look.

One of my favorite aspects is how customizable this pattern can be - you can adjust the tail length, arrange the spots however you like, and really make each Azumarill unique.

The construction method ensures a sturdy finished piece that holds its shape beautifully whether displayed on a shelf or given lots of hugs.

I find the gradual decreasing rounds particularly well-designed, creating that smooth taper from the round body without any awkward bumps or lumps.

This pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters looking to expand their skills with techniques like working in specific loops and creating shaped pieces.

The finished Azumarill has such personality and charm, capturing the friendly, approachable nature of this beloved Pokemon character.

Whether you're making it for yourself, as a gift for a Pokemon enthusiast, or building your handmade Pokemon collection, this pattern delivers wonderful results that bring joy with every stitch.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to stuff the body firmly enough results in a floppy shape instead of the nice egg form; stuff gradually while maintaining the rounded shape throughout. ✗ Not securing the wave pattern properly causes it to flip back instead of lying flat against the blue section; use white thread to tack down carefully. ✗ Pulling the tail zigzag too tight makes it curl and lose its distinctive pattern; keep tension relaxed when working the increases and decreases. ✗ Attaching ears without pinning first can result in uneven placement; always pin both ears and check from multiple angles before sewing permanently. ✗ Overstuffing the tail ball makes it too firm and distorts the shape; stuff lightly to maintain the round appearance while keeping it soft.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew feet to the bottom of the body as shown in reference photos, positioning them to allow the figure to sit or stand properly.
  • Attach arms to the sides of the body just above the white wave section, ensuring they are positioned symmetrically on both sides.
  • Sew ears to the top of the head as shown in photos, making sure they are evenly spaced and angled slightly outward for a natural look.
  • Cut small oval shapes from black felt for eyes and the mouth shape, then glue or sew them onto the face. Add tiny white felt pieces or white fabric paint dots for eye catchlights.
  • Cut various sized circles from blue felt for the spotted pattern across the body and attach them using glue or sewing thread in a natural, scattered arrangement.
  • Using white sewing thread, carefully tack down the wave pattern around the belly so it lies flat against the blue section and creates the proper wave effect.
  • Attach the zigzag tail section to the bottom back of the body, then secure the blue ball portion to the end of the tail chain, making sure all yarn ends are hidden inside.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a hook size that creates tight stitches to prevent fiberfill from showing through the fabric, adjusting hook size as needed for your yarn weight.
  • 💡When working the wave pattern in Round 12, the waves may curl forward initially - this is normal and will be corrected when you tack them down later.
  • 💡Do not stuff the feet, arms, or ears - these parts should be flattened and closed by crocheting through both layers for a cleaner finish.
  • 💡Pin all body parts in place before sewing to ensure proper positioning and symmetry, checking from multiple angles before securing permanently.
  • 💡The tail chain can be any multiple of 11 plus 1, so you can adjust the length to your preference for a longer or shorter zigzag pattern.

This adorable Azumarill pattern captures the essence of everyone's favorite water-type Pokemon with its signature blue coloring, distinctive wave belly pattern, and those impossibly cute long ears! 💙 The clever construction technique for the wave detail really makes this design stand out, while the felt accents add that perfect finishing touch.

FAQs

What size will the finished Azumarill be?

The finished Azumarill will measure approximately 5-6 inches tall depending on your yarn weight and tension. Using worsted weight yarn with a G hook creates a nice palm-sized plush perfect for display or cuddling.

Do I need to know how to work in front loops only for this pattern?

Yes, Round 12 requires working in front loops only to create the distinctive wave pattern. This technique is clearly explained in the pattern, and if you're new to it, there are many online tutorials that can help you master this simple but effective technique.

Can I use safety eyes instead of felt for the face?

While the pattern calls for felt appliques, you could use small safety eyes if you prefer. However, the felt method gives more control over the exact look and expression, and allows you to create Azumarill's characteristic eye shape more accurately.

Is the zigzag tail difficult to make?

Not at all! The tail is worked in rows using a simple pattern of increases and decreases along a foundation chain. The pattern repeats throughout, making it straightforward once you complete the first sequence. Just keep your tension relaxed so the zigzag pattern shows clearly.

How do I attach the wave pattern so it stays flat?

After completing the body, use white sewing thread and a sewing needle to tack the wave section up to the blue portion at several points around the circumference. Small, invisible stitches work best to keep the waves lying flat and even.
