This special Shedinja was a commission that I received from TekkoCon last year! When you gaze into the endless void on its back, you’l only see rainbows…

My Bellossom plush crochet pattern is finally here, after being unanimously voted on by my Patrons!
Bellossom only requires basic crocheting skills to make her many simple components. However, there are so many parts to sew together that need to pinned and layered in a specific order. This pattern has very detailed sewing instructions and photo diagrams to ensure that the plush is sturdy and without gaps. I originally thought that Bellossom would be a Medium (Level 3) pattern, but given how much precise sewing is required, it is now an Advanced (Level 4) design.
This means that my 67-page (!) Bellossom crochet pattern will only be sold on my Patreon, and that $5+ supporters will get extended access to the pattern month by month. Everyone else can make a one-time purchase of the pattern for $15. And because I released this pattern so late in the month, everyone gets an extra month of access in June.
I hope you enjoy the pattern as much as I enjoyed making it! As usual, if you have any questions about the pattern, feel free to e-mail/message me, or post in the Q&A chat.
I can't wait to see what you crochet! 🌺

The Gen 1 Pokémon get next to no love on my Patreon polls 😭
