Free Pattern Friday: Slowpoke Amigurumi

Welcome to Free Pattern Friday! This week's pattern is a 3" tall, 10" long amigurumi of a Slowpoke. The pattern is available on Ravelry or you can find it written below. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at icrochetthings@gmail.com.

Fun fact: My very first amigurumi pattern that I ever made by myself was a Slowpoke. This pattern is  basically a revamped version of my old one. 

Anywho, here's the new pattern:

Materials:
▪  Worsted weight yarn in pink, white, cream, brown
▪  Crochet thread in black
▪  E hook (3.50 mm)
▪  Stuffing
▪  6 mm safety eyes
▪  Scissors
▪  Tapestry needle

Difficulty: Easy
You should know how to work in the round, increase, decrease, and change colors.
