love Gyarados! He's definitely one of my favorite Pokemon {I have a thing for water Pokemon). | really wanted to make a cute little Gyarados crochet pattern, most of the ones! could find were not exactly what | had in mind. So | setoutto make my own pattern! Butas | went, | realized | had misjudged the size- alot. | kept going, though. | was really pleased with how he was shaping up, and that's how we ended up with the 40" long Gyarados wonder! I would like to say this pattern is advanced. Also, this post is very picture heavy. You'll need to know double crochet. slip stitch, increase, decrease, front loap only stitching, and triple crochet. You'll also eed to know how to crochet in rounds, rows and magic circles. Personally, | wired my Gyarados so he could be posed and placed in different positions. | also needle felted his eyes, but you can easily do felt shapes and glue them on, or sews them ‘on if you prefer. This pattern takes me about three full days of crochet and binge watching Nerflix! You can make regular Gyarados using blue yarn, or make a shiny Gyarados by using red instead! | made one of each, so the photes with the instructions may vary in color.

Begin atthe tail, There will be two spots oneach bump of the body. Place the spots at the decrease of each bump right before the next. Lise the photos for placement help if you need it! You will place the spots about one stitch away from the edge. The smallest ones, back spots C, will be placed on the first four bumps of the body. The next four bumps will have back spots 6, and the four bumps after that will have back spots A. sngPlace the bellyand back together with edge matching up ¥ one edge. Next, you'll need to cut a piece of clothesline wire twice the length of the body, and twist the two ends together to farm an oval. Place this inside of the body, and finish whip stitching up the other side of the body, stuffing around the wire a5 you go! This willl allow you to pose the body in those great gyarados waves! Once the body is stuffed, you can whip stitch the tail fin to the tail of the body. Now focus on the nape of the neck. You'll fold back the extra portion of the back towards the rest of the body, and then tuck in each side where the flap angles downward. Use the photo above to help with shaping! Now take spike one of the Spike 1's you made and sew it in the very middle of the folded back portion of the body. This is the spike that goes directly behind gyarados's head. At this point you can also tack down with matching yarn the folds in the flaps. | usually use two points on each flap for tacking it down. ‘You can now sew on the rest of the spikes to the body! The second spike 1 will go on the second bump from the head, directly behind the spike you just sewed on. Spike 2 will go on the fifth bump fram the head, and spike 3 will go. onthe third bump fram the tail tip. All you have to do now is sew his head onto his body! And congratulations! After days (weeks, months) of toiling and crocheting, you have your own amazing gyarados! I'd love to see pictures if anyone ee completes him! | also tried my best to edit and be thorough, but if you find an error in this pattern please let me know! Este documants & til Pio ceil 18aanne
