Hello! I hope you all enjoyed the Pokémon Direct and the new starters that were shown off. Today I offer you a free pattern for the grass type starter Sprigatito. The pattern was made based on the one piece of offical released art currently. There may be details missing from the final design of the Pokémon that were not shown in the art that was released this week. Doll stands 12cm tall and is 14cm long including tail. Regardless I hope you enjoy this pattern. This pattern uses USA crochet terms. Please let me know if there are any errors or if you have any questions!

- Attach completed leaf piece to chest area of body piece under the neck.
- Attach front legs using optional wire or other material to keep sturdy.
- Attach back Legs using optional wire or other material to keep sturdy.
- For face I freehand needle felted but you could glue cut felt shapes on or sew cut felt shapes on if you would like.
