Snorlax

Quick, someone get my pokeflute because there’s a Snorlax blocking the doorway 🙂

This toy is perfectly cuddling size. He is roughly 50 cm tall, with an arm span of 75 cm.

This patterns uses a 4 mm hook and 8 ply wool and is written in American crochet notation. You will need four 100 gram black balls, two 100 gram brown balls and some white and dark brown wool. You will also need approximately 600 grams of stuffing.
