Rattata Plushie

Description

Here's a plushie I made of Rattata. He wasn't too hard, but I did take me about 4 days to make. I could have done it quicker, but I just made a few pieces a day. Also, I was writing down the pattern as I made it, so it took longer because of that too.

Nothing too complicated here, just standard amigurumi style for the most part, a lot of color changing for the stomach and face though. The feet were pretty simple, but were made with two pieces each, sewn together. The eyes, fangs and whiskers are felt. And that's pretty much it I guess.

I don't know why, but I've always liked Rattata. Way back on my Red version, I would always keep one in my team for like, half the game. (Of course I would evolve it though, 'cause he would be bad as he is). I think it's just because he's so cute.

And now that I've realized I can edit the description, I'll share the pattern too, so this is going to get long.

Rattata Plushie

Abbreviations:
sc=single crochet
inc=increase (2 sc in next sc)
dec=decrease
hdc=half double crochet (there's very few of these)
st=stitch
ch=chain
hk=hook
rnd=round
[w]=change to white
[p]=change to purple

I never really use gauge, so it's not that important, just use a hook that's good with the size of yarn you're using.

Materials:
Purple yarn
White/Off White yarn
Pink yarn (small amount for ears)
Red and white felt scraps
Yarn needle (for sewing pieces together)
Polyester stuffing

*note: when changing color, yarn over with new color in last step of the last stitch indicated before color change.

Okay, so this pattern is divided into seven sections, that being the head, body, feet, front legs, tail, and right and left ears (which are only made slightly different given their shape). Pieces are best sewn together as work progresses. Anyway, on to the pattern.


(number in ( ) at end of rnd indicates how many stitches you have in each round)

Head:
with purple, ch2
1: 6 sc in 2nd ch from hk (6)
2: (inc) in each sc around (12)
3: (inc, sc in next sc) around (18)
4: (inc, sc in next 2 sc) around (24)
5: sc in next 9 sc, dec, sc in next 2 sc, dec, sc in next 9 sc (22)
6: sc in next 9 sc, inc, 3 sc in next sc, inc, sc in next 10 sc (26)
7: sc in next 8 sc, dec, (sc in next 7 sc, dec) twice (24)
8: sc in next 6 sc, [w], in BACK LOOPS only, sc in next 4 sc, dec, sc in next sc, dec, sc in next 3 sc, [p], working in BOTH LOOPS again, sc in next 6 sc (22) *this is the only row where you need to work in back loops. Work in both loops for the rest.
9: sc in next 5 sc, [w], sc in next 12 sc, [p], sc in next 5 sc (22)
10: sc in next 5 sc, [w], sc in next 3 sc, (dec) three times, sc in next 3 sc, [p], sc in next 3 sc, dec (18)
11: dec, sc in next sc, dec, [w], (sc in next sc, dec) three times, [p], sc in next sc, dec, sc in next sc (12)
*basically this row is just (sc in next sc, dec) around, but with color changes noted in the right place*
Finish off, leaving long end for sewing.

Body
*note: the body might look a little mis-shapen as you work it at first, but I promise you it looks great once you get the stuffing in.

with purple, ch 2
1: 6 sc in 2nd ch from hk (6)
2: (inc) in each sc around (12)
3: (inc, sc in next sc) around (18)
4: (inc, sc in next 2 sc) around (24)
5: sc in next 21 sc, [w], sc in next 3 sc, [p] (24)
6: (sc in next sc, inc) three times, sc in next 9 sc, (inc, sc in next sc) twice, inc, [w], sc in next 4 sc (30)
7: sc in next sc, [p], (sc in next 2 sc, inc) three times, (sc in next sc, dec) twice, sc in next sc, (inc, sc in next 2 sc) twice, inc, sc in next sc, [w], sc in next 5 sc (34)
8: sc in next 2 sc, [p], sc in next 27 sc, [w], sc in next 7 sc, [p] (this will go a few stitches into the next round, start rounds at this point from here to end) (34)
9: (sc in next 2 sc, dec) three times, sc in next 3 sc, (dec, sc in next 2 sc) three times, [w], sc in next 7 sc, [p] (28)
10: sc in next 21 sc, [w], sc in next 7 sc, [p] (28)
11: (sc in next sc, dec) three times, sc in next 3 sc, (dec, sc in next sc) three times, [w], sc in next 7 sc, [p] (22)
12: sc in next 15 sc, [w], sc in next 7 sc, [p] (22)
13,14: repeat round 12
15: sc in next 16 sc, [w], sc in next 6 sc, [p] (22)
16: (dec, sc in next 3 sc) three times, dec, [w], sc in next 2 sc, inc, sc in next sc, dec, [p] (19)
17: sc in next 3 sc, (dec) three times, sc in next 2 sc, inc, [w], sc in next 6 sc. Work in rows, do NOT change to purple.
row 1: ch 1, turn, sc in next 6 sc
repeat row one, once.
Finish off.
(This part might sound a little hard, but just read it carefully, I did my best to explain it) Sew sides of last two rows to first two purple stitches (that are on each side of white stitches on rnd 17). This should leave 6 purple stitches open, along with the 6 white stitches on row 2. Stuff head and body, sew together, matching up the white and purple stitches.

Feet (make 2 for each foot, for a total of 8 pieces)
with white, ch 2
1: 8 sc in 2nd ch from hk
2: sc in next sc, ((sc, hdc, sc) in next sc, slip st in next sc) three times, sc in next sc.
Finish off, sew two pieces together to make one foot, stuff lightly. If you push between the toes while pushing on outer sides of toes, it will help shape the foot a little.

Front legs
1: with purple, ch 7, join with slip st to form a ring. (7)
2-6: sc in each st around
7: sc in next 2 sc, inc, sc in next 2 sc, dec (7)
8: sc in next 3 sc, inc, sc in next 2 sc, dec (7)
Finish off, sew this end to body and starting end to foot, stuffing first. Works better if sewn to body first, then you can get the right angle to sew the foot on.

Tail
with purple, ch 2
1: 6 sc in 2nd ch from hk (6)
2-4: sc in each sc around (6)
5: (inc, sc in next sc) around (9)
6-15: sc in each sc around, begin stuffing (9)
16: (dec, sc in next sc) around (6)
17-26: sc in each sc around (6)
Finish off, leaving long enough end to sew to body. Finish stuffing, curl tip of tail down to round 15 (you should be able to see where tail gets smaller again), sew in place, weave yarn up a few stitches to middle of curl, sew down to tail to complete curl. Weave in ends.


Right Ear
(inside)
with pink, ch 4
1: sc in each ch across, ch 1, turn (3)
2: inc, sc in each sc across, ch 1, turn (4)
3: sc in each sc across (4)
Finish off.

(outside)
with purple, work same as inside, finish off.
1: with new strand of purple, sc join in bottom right corner (beginning of row 1), working through both colors, pink in front. (this counts as first sc). sc up side of row 2 (1 stitch), 3 sc in first sc on row 3, sc in next 2 sc, 3 sc in last sc, sc down side (3 stitches).
Finish off, leaving long end for sewing.

Left Ear
(inside)
with pink, ch 4
1: sc in each ch across, ch 1 turn (3)
2: sc in first 2 sc, inc, ch 1, turn (4)
3: sc in each sc across (4)
Finish off.

(outside)
with purple, work same as inside, finish off.
1: with new strand of purple, sc join in bottom right corner (beginning of row 1), working through both colors, pink in front. (this counts as first sc). sc up side of next two rows, (2 stitches), 3 sc in first sc on row 3, sc in next 2 sc, 3 sc in last sc, sc down side of rows (2 stitches).
Finish off, leaving long end for sewing.


*as you may have noticed, right and left ears are just mirror images of each other, but must be done so because of how the front and back are joined*

Make eyes, fangs, and whiskers from felt scraps.

As usual, do not claim this pattern as your own, sell this pattern, or sell things made from this pattern. However, I don't mind if you make things for charity and whatnot, and if you use this pattern, it is always appreciated if you link back to it! :)

OMG this so cute and perfect. Exactly what I'm looking for since 1997. I'm a very huge fan of Rattata and Raticate but I couldn't find any plush toys from Rattata or Ratticate which makes me very, very sad because I want them soooooooo bad. But this Rattata is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Awesome job!!!! But how does this amigurumis work??? I never had anything to do with anything like amigurumis or knitting or crochet.
