Petilil

Made for the May CAL/KAL on Pokemon Amigurumi. The original crochet pattern is linked at the bottom. I had to change a lot to get it to correspond to knitting, but I think it looks good :)

Abbreviations

stst = Stockinette stitch. Knit being the right side and Purl being the wrong side.

Kfb = Knit front and back into a stitch to increase.

K2tog or P2tog = Knit or Purl 2 stitches together to decrease

B and T = break of yarn leaving a long end and thread through sts left on the knitting needle and pull tight to close the hole then fasten off

I-cord= Knitted on Dpn's. cast on stst then knit as normal, instead of turning to purl, push the stitches to the end of the dpn and knit again pulling the wool behind the stitches. After doing this for a few rows you will see the cord appearing, pull the cord to tighten the stitches.

If knitting in the round divide the stitches equally among the needles and when it says to Purl a row Knit instead. Stuff as you go.

Cast off

Sew cast off edges together and then sew to stem just below the top so some of the stem can be seen above them. I found that the leaves

started to curl, so I backstitched down the middle and around the edges to make it firmer.

Place pins where the stripes are going to end, like in the photo. Measure the length between the pins for the middle and 2 side stripes. Remembering that the 2 side stripes will cross over at the bottom as show. Cut three strips of felt in brown to the right length, mine were cut to 1 cm wide but you may need to make them wider depending on how big the head is. On one end cut two notches to resemble the pieces as shown in the picture, on the other end, cut to a slightly rounded point. Place the stripes on to the head using the pins you have placed. When you are satisfied with the placement, sew on securely using matching thread.

Cut 2 circles from black, I used the end of a pen to get the right size. Then position them as shown and pin. Sew them on and then add highlights using white thread to make french knots. Embroider mouth as shown centred above the middle strip.

Cast Off
Sew up the back seam then stuff, pin in place on top of head to get position right then sew the Cast off edge to the head. Bend the tops slightly to form the ear bends.

Face

Using light brown felt cut out the face. I found putting pins in place on the head and drawing on a piece of paper to map out the face to get it to the right size helpful, I then pinned the paper template on to the felt to cut round. Do the same with the Eyes using white for the eyeball and green for the iris. Pin the iris's on to the eyeball's and then sew on using a matching green thread. Then pin the completed eyes on to the face and sew on using white thread. Pin the face on to the head using the pins you used to map out the face and then sew on using a matching brown thread.
