About This Umbreon Plushie Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a handmade Umbreon plushie using worsted weight yarn and felt details to capture Umbreon's iconic rings and eye shapes. You will crochet the body, head/neck, four legs, ears and tail separately and then assemble and sew them together. The design focuses on shaping using simple increases and decreases to get a smooth, posed look. Felt pieces are added at the end for clean, durable facial and ring markings.

Clear round-by-round instructions guide you through every piece and shaping step. The pattern uses felt for eyes and rings for crisp details and recommends pinning pieces before sewing for best placement.

Why You'll Love This Umbreon Plushie Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it brings Umbreon to life with simple, thoughtful shaping that anyone with intermediate skills can achieve. I enjoy how the felt rings and eye shapes make a big impact with very little sewing. I love the balance between shaping the plush and adding flat felt details—the results feel polished and characterful. I feel proud when the finished piece stands steadily and shows off those iconic yellow rings.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with color variations, so try different yarn colors to create alternate versions of this plush, like pastel Umbreon or a glittery accent yarn for the rings.

You can change the size by switching yarn weight and hook size; bulky yarn with a larger hook makes a larger, cuddly version while lighter yarn and smaller hook make a mini keychain-friendly Umbreon.

I often add embroidered details instead of felt for a softer, wash-friendly finish; use embroidery floss to stitch the rings and eye outlines securely.

Want a posable plush? I sometimes insert thin wire into the limbs before stuffing to make them adjustable while covered by yarn.

For more personality, change eye shapes: larger felt eyes make a cuter look while narrower eyes create a moodier expression.

I like to create tiny outfits or accessories for amigurumi — try a crocheted scarf, tiny collar, or a miniature bow for seasonal variations.

If you prefer safety eyes, choose small ones and stitch felt backing behind them for safety and a cleaner finish.

I sometimes add a weighted base to the feet by inserting a small sachet of poly pellets before finishing stuffing so the plush stands sturdily on display.

Try different stuffing densities to alter posture: firmer stuffing creates a more upright stance while slightly softer stuffing gives a cuddly look.

I also recommend experimenting with placement of the felt rings — moving them slightly can give your Umbreon different characters and makes each finished piece unique.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers when working rounds causes lost stitch counts; use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round to keep your place and recount regularly. ✗ Understuffing or overstuffing limbs leads to misshapen shoulders and hips; stuff gradually, shaping as you go and aim for moderately firm stuffing for stability. ✗ Not pinning parts before sewing can produce odd placements; pin all pieces in position and check from several angles before permanently sewing. ✗ Forgetting to carry or secure color changes in ears or tail can leave loose ends; carry the yarn tails along and secure them for the first few stitches and weave in ends neatly. ✗ Ignoring decreases and increases counts leads to uneven shaping; count stitches after every round especially during increases/decreases to maintain the correct stitch totals.

— Final Assembly :

Info :

I highly recommend that you pin all parts together before you begin to sew them, to make certain all parts are as you like and in the position you prefer.

Info :

Head is sewn to body as shown, take your time and pin the head on first, making sure that the neck is adequately stuffed, and that the 'nape' of the neck is positioned so as to create the curve of the neck. (See the pictures to help you position the head)

Info :

For the yellow markings, cut 5 oval shapes from yellow felt, then cut out the center of each to make the 'rings'. Pin one of them to the head, between the ears and slightly to the front. The other four are each sewn onto the 'shoulders' of the leg pieces. You can pin legs and markings before sewing to the body as preferred.

Info :

When sewing the legs on, add a little stuffing under each 'shoulder' to give a slight roundness to the shoulder/hip area for a smooth transition from leg to 'body'.

Info :

Ears and tail are positioned and sewn on as shown. Eyes are cut from red and black felt scraps, in shapes as shown. Catch lights are very small pieces of white felt.

Assembly Instructions

  • Pin all parts together in position before sewing to ensure correct placement and symmetry.
  • Sew the head to the body with the nose area facing forward, aligning the 'nape' of the neck to create the intended curve; make sure the neck is adequately stuffed before securing.
  • Cut five yellow felt ovals and remove centers to make rings; pin one ring between the ears on the head and sew the other four to the 'shoulders' of the legs (or sew rings after legs are attached).
  • When sewing legs to the body, add a small amount of stuffing under each shoulder to create a smooth rounded transition and sew securely for stability.
  • Position ears and tail and sew in place; attach felt eyes (red and black) and tiny white felt catch lights after positioning to check expression.

Important Notes

  • 💡Pin all pieces in place before sewing to make sure you are happy with the placement and symmetry.
  • 💡Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round to avoid losing track of stitch counts while shaping.
  • 💡Stuff gradually and shape as you go; overstuffing can distort shaping while understuffing can make pieces floppy.
  • 💡Weave in color change tails securely and sew/secure felt markings before final assembly or pin them to preview placement.
