Hi, my dear friends!\u00a0( \u25d5\u00a0\u203f\u00a0\u25d5\u00a0)\uff89<\/p>\n

Finally, I’m posting my Charizard pattern, haha. I’m sorry for the very long delay! I was very busy this months and crocheting wasn’t my priority (>_<“) But, now, I got some time to crochet and was able to finish this so desired pattern\uff08\u2010\uff3e\u25bd\uff3e\u2010).<\/p>\n

This time, I decided to do a Shiny Charizard, because I don’t like very much to do same thing many times, so, at least, I changed his color, lol\u00a0(\uff1e\u25bd\uff1c). However, you don’t need to do his shiny too, you can make him in his usual color. Moreover, I improved his pattern, changing\u00a0some things\u00a0that I didn’t like very much.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go to the pattern (^w^):<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/p>\n

– Lead or Orange yarn;
\n– Cream Yarn;
\n– Red or Teal yarn;
\n– White Yarn;
\n– 4mm and 2,5mm crochet hooks;

\n– Tapestry needle;
\n– Scissors;
\n– Red, black and white fabric paint;
\n– Paint-brush;
\n– Contact glue;
\n– Hair-brush.<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/p>\n

– I always do my crochet works using continuous rounds;
\n– Everytime I will do a crochet work, the first thing I do is take a look in the entirely pattern before start doing it, so, I can have an idea of how the pattern works. Well, I recommend you to do the same;
\n– For sewing the pieces together you will use the tapestry needle;
\n– To make the eyes you will use the felt and the fabric paint;
\n– To make the Fire in his tail you will use yarn and a hair-brush;
\n– Please be extremely careful while handling the wire, it may hurt you if you don’t handle it properly.<\/p>\n

Round 1: 5 sc in magic ring (5)
\nRound 2-4: sc in each sc (5)
\nFinish off and leave a long tail for sewing.<\/p>\n

– Head (lead or orange yarn):
\nWell, when I was making this pattern and until today, I was very indecisive about his snout size. However, I figure out that the two sizes I was thinking about are good, it is just a matter of style.
\nSo, I will post the two versions here and let you decide which one you like. One is shorter than the other. In the photos I used the shorter snout, but I also like the other one.
\nThe difference between them is one row. In the longer one, you are going to crochet one more row of single crochet before starting the Round: sc 9, inc, sc 8 (19).
\nThe video tutorial teaches how to do the longer version, but it also works to the shorter version. Just remember to reduce one round of single crochet.<\/p>\n

Option 1: Head with shorter snout:
\nRound 1: ch 6, sc 4, 3sc in next ch, sc 3, inc (12)
\nRound 2: 2 sc, sc 3, 2 sc in next 3 sc, sc 3, 2 sc in next 2 sc (18)

\nRound 10: sc 7, inc in next 6 sc, sc 4, inc in next 2 sc, sc 7 (34)
\nRound 11: sc, inc in next 2 sc, sc 31 (36)
\nRound 12-16: sc in each sc (36)
\nRound: 17: sc 4, dec (30)
\nRound 18: sc 3, dec (24)
\nRound 19: sc 2, dec (18)
\n*Start stuffng
\nRound 20: sc, dec (12)
\nRound 21: dec (6)
\nFinish off.<\/p>\n

Option 2: Head with longer snout:
\nRound 1: ch 6, sc 4, 3sc in next ch, sc 3, inc (12)
\nRound 2: 2 sc, sc 3, 2 sc in next 3 sc, sc 3, 2 sc in next 2 sc (18)

\nRound: 18: sc 4, dec (30)
\nRound 19: sc 3, dec (24)
