 ASSEMBLY
Use the provided pictures of the finished Pikachu as a visual aid to help guide you in the assembly
process. I recommend using pins to help plan where you want to sew parts to the body. They are
especially helpful in getting the tail and hip/feet placements adjusted so that Pikachu can balance
upright on his own.

1.       Sew the open end of the head onto the

open end of the body. Note: The front side of
the face is the side with the extra increases
that was made in the front loops at round 15.
I have places a black pin to mark the front and
center the head.

2.       Sew the hips onto the sides on the body.

3.       Sew the ears to the top of the head.

9

4.       Sew the cheeks to the sides of the face.

 ASSEMBLY

5.       Sew the feet onto the front of the

hips.

6.       Sew the stripes onto the back. The

shorter stripe goes above the longer stripe.

7.       Sew the arms to the sides of the

body. If you use the pokeball sew the arms
at a forward reaching angle. Sew/glue the
ball in between the arms.

8.       Sew/glue the tail onto the back.

9.       Cut two small circles from the black

felt and two smaller circles of white from
the white felt. Cut a small triangle from the
black felt. Needle felt or glue the eyes and
nose onto the face

10. Use a long piece of black embroidery 1

floss or yarn to embroider the mouth.
