Welcome to my first ever UA-cam video. This tutorial will show you how to crochet your very own adorable Pokémon, Pikachu!
If you need to learn crochet basics I highly suggest looking on UA-cam as there are some fantastic, short and concise videos on here :)
I have a PDF version of the pattern available on my Ko-Fi ~ Tashs Crochet

Feel free to leave a comment or contact me directly if you need help! I can't wait to see what you make.
Just to reiterate, I don't own the character, this is simply a form of fanart for those who love Pokémon.
Thank you ♡
I forgot to add how to do the two brown stripes on the back of the Pikachu! If you want to add them you can find the information in the PDF ~ sorry!

I made this yesterday and sold it at a market literally as soon as I put it up for sale. Thank you for a fantastic pattern. Best seller lol as soon as it was bought two other people said they wanted one.
Oh that’s fantastic!! I’m so glad ❤️ looks like you’ll be making more of them 😆
I started crying because I was trying to buy a pattern similar to this and i couldn’t so thank you so much for your work❤️✨.
No worries! ☺️❤️
A trick to make a maklgic ring with this yarn is to make a loop with similar colored thread, crochet the yarn around it, pull the thread to close the ring and tie it.
Oh yes that’s a brilliant tip!! I always struggle to find acrylic yarns in the same colour to do it though 🥲 but great tip! ❤️
I made this twice, and the second time I accidentally skipped rows 19-22 in the body which made it come out a lot smaller, but I think it enhanced the cuteness factor 🎉😍
This was such a fun project and by following this video first and then the PDF, I have been able to practice reading patterns. Thank you for this!!!!
See that’s the best part about patterns. Once you get confident enough then you can experiment with patterns and do what you think looks best. And someday maybe even create your own patterns! I’m so glad this has helped you so much ❤

Thank you!! 😁❤️
I really struggle to see my stitches with this type of yarn, it's such a shame because it works so well for this kind of item
Honestly it really just takes some practice. I am the same with fluffy yarn. If you really want to give it a go you can place a stitch marker in every stitch so you know 100% where they all are.
But I’d recommend starting with acrylic yarn because it’s a lot easier to see the stitches - it’ll still come out super cute! ☺️
@@TashsCrochet Thanks for the tip! I'll keep at it, thanks for the awesome video too :)
Idk if it's the same for you, but I adjusted my tightness and can see my stitches better now. I realized they all looked blended because I was over tightening! Hope it helps. I am sorry if it does not. :(
@@user-sr6yp7dy6g thank you so much! :)
@@TashsCrochetthis is such a good idea!! Omg 😱 lol
I’m struggling in other projects on what stitches to go into after you turn your work. I saw in a tutorial on another video that you’re supposed to chain one then turn and skip that stitch. My work keeps coming out jagged even if I’m just making a normal swatch.
Ir looks so cute
Thank you!
You are amazing!! I just finished my Pikachu and it came out perfect, thanks to your easy to follow tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing. 🥰🥰🥰
Awh I’m so so glad you enjoyed it and that it was easy to follow! ❤️🫶🏼☺️

I love your video 😊
Awh thank you! ❤
Finallyyyyyyyyy❤
Love the tutorial. ❤
I plan on making this with 4 ply yarn (Hook size 3.5 - 4.00 mm). What should I do differently when I'm adding more rows to get to this size?
Can it be done in milk cotton yarn??
Dec is 2 stitches are places in one spot yes? Nvm I think I saw you do it, you sc- then yarn over again and pull through, so instead of two sc in one stitch it yarn over then yarn over (twice) then pull through and continue?
And thank you for this tutorial it really helped me visualize patterns and how they come together. I’m getting so excited because I’m finally getting it. I haven’t been this excited for anything in a while lol. Eek!
Hey! So when you’re decreasing you are turning 2 stitches into 1 - by pulling through two hoops and then yarn over and through both of them. It’s always much harder to explain through text but if you need extra visuals there’s plenty of tutorials online 😊 and I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! I love crochet because it’s truly magical being able to create whatever you want with just a hook and yarn!
Where do you buy your wool from?
Can you do a tutorial of how you show on feet and arms, cheeks and eyes and the mouth on another doll? Maybe the next ones that need them?
As in sewing the extra limbs on? Yeah of course! I always tend to skip those bits as I always thought people didn’t want to see but I’ll include them from now on 😊
Do you have a video of you doing the magic ring using a chain? I have a plush yarn that breaks on me everytime I try and do it the other way, but I can't seem to find a video that shows how to do it.
Hmm yarn that breaks can be very fussy! Try doing 2 chain and then putting all your sc into that first stitch in the chain. Try searching up slip ring tutorials. There’s a few out there but can be quite difficult to understand visually - even for me!
I’ll definitely be making shorts tutorials for quick things like this to help beginners out since lots of tutorials are still quite difficult for people to understand
Will it still work with thinner yarn?
This may be a silly question but I cam here for reference from the pdf version and on there there is stripes.. how does one attach those?
Hi! Yeah it can be quite difficult. You have to sew it on and you can choose to do that with the same yarn or some thinner thread to do it. Or if you hate sewing you can always glue it on 😆
Hola en español lo tiene amiga ❤
How did you do the mouth and nose? What material is it? How did you attach it to the body?
They are made out of black felt :) you can cut out the shape and glue it on using either fabric glue or carefully use a glue gun
Esta muy bonito traducirlo en español soy de peru
Thank you for making this! :) I am stuck on R18: (SC, INC) X7 as it doesn't add to the rest of the row (42). Can you please help me on this?
Hmm did you make sure that the round before was correct as well? It’s annoying but sometimes you need to frog your work to find a mistake 😅
@@TashsCrochet I realized you meant (Sc, Inc) x ___ until the round ends but you do it more than 7 times. But yes I did get the previous round miscounted haha
@@littlemisstumbler21 oh thank you for pointing that out! And good you double checked hehe
hi, i have the same problem on round 18 sadly. this is my first time crocheting anything and i totally love this pattern so i really want to get it right but i dont know what mistake i am making and sadly i didnt understand how littlemisstumbler21 solved the problem… after completing round 17, i ended up with 28 stitches/loops and when i then finish round 18 (sc, increase)x7 i end up only being halfway done :(
am i understanding the process correctly? is it one single crochet into the first stitch of round 17 and then two stitches into the 2nd of 17 and then one into the third and so on? because if i do that i only end up halfway done (ending at stitch 14 of round 17 when complete with round 18)
in your pdf it says 28 stitches in round 17 is correct thats why i am so confused :‘( i hope you can help me out
@@wetnoodle5990 Hi there! For the head (round 18), instead of "(SC, INC) X 7". Tasha meant "(SC, INC) X 14" - until the round is completed. I hope this helps!
Could you perhaps also do a tutorial for a girl's pikachu tail? They have a different type of tail 🤔
Oh of course! The female pika has like a little heart shaped part of the tail! That could definitely be created using some increase and decrease rows in the last section of the tail. I can give it a go and write it in the comments if you’re interested ☺️
@@TashsCrochetYes we are, definitely subscribing for such a sweet comment! Ty for the tutorial!! 💙
Cuánto mide??
Can acrylic yarn be used for this pattern?
Yes! Any yarn can be used ☺️🫶🏼
Hi, which size of eyes did you use? 😊
Hi! I used 12mm plastic toy eyes ☺️🫶🏼
What yarn did you use?
I used a Chenille yarn I found in Portugal but most countries have their own versions of chenille. Himalayan velvet is usually quite lovely ☺️
How many meters in this ball of wool? And how much do I need to complete the work, I must know how many meters?
Hi! I used a 200g skein of yarn for the yellow and less than 100g for the brown and red yarns :)
Can it be done in milk cotton yarn?
Yes of course! ☺️
Thank you!!@@TashsCrochet
Hello, what are the measurments of this Pikachu? How large is he?
He’s roughly 15cm tall ☺️
Can you also do the instructions with cotton?
It'd be the same just use the appropriate hook size
I’m not sure what you mean, you can complete this with any type of yarn whether it’s acrylic, natural, chunky or chenille - so long as you’re using the correct crochet hook size for your yarn (which is usually on the ball of yarn description but I always like to size down to ensure there’s no gaps in my work ☺️)
Mines came out too big any tips??
So the size depends on your hook size and yarn thickness. If you use a really chunky yarn and a big hook it’ll come out huge. Whereas if you use a thinner yarn with smaller hook it’ll be smaller. Sometimes your tension can affect the size too ❤
The amout of stiches in the parentheses are not right. Are we stopping at our stich marker or no?
Which round did you notice wasn’t correct? Typically it’s just continuing whatever is within the brackets the entire round. The only time we aren’t working in rounds is for the tail
I have just found you, i have a loopy loop podcast if you want to pop by, lots of love chris from uk ❤
How much yellow yarn do we require
I used 1 skein of 200g yarn but I know quite a few of my testers needed more. Better to have too much than too little 🫶🏼
How tall is pikachu
Roughly 20cm tall but it’ll depend on your yarn and hook size and even tension 🫶🏼
Approximately how much yarn is needed?
I used less than 200g of yarn for the yellow but it’s always better to have more than you need so you don’t play yarn roulette! 😅 I have quite a tight tension so I don’t tend to have any gaps which also means I use less yarn ❤
@@TashsCrochet thank you. I have tight tension too. I didn't know it was a common thing. I always struggled to not hold it too tight.
@@moi_94 it’s much better to have a tighter tension, when it’s too lose you get big gaps in your work. As long as you’re not breaking your yarn and it’s not too difficult to get your hook through the stitches it’s fine 😁
🤎🤎🤎
I don't understand 13 round
What exactly do you not understand? :) I can try and help explain
Why so fast tho
I sped it up so the tutorial was shorter, otherwise it would’ve been over 2h long 😁
Your content is really good..your video deserve more views but for not reach to others your video dont get more reach .For this you need proper seo to your youtube video,if you want i can help you.
