Umbreon Plushie

Well, after many *many* requests, I finally did an

Umbreon. I know this will bring about an onslaught of
requests for the other 'Eevee-lutions' and yes I'll get
to them all... eventually :D It just depends on my
yarn stash, my time and well --- motivation. LOL
As with all the patterns, if you have any problems or
if you notice anything wrong in the pattern (I'm prone
to typos LOL) let me know and I'll get back to ya as
soon as I can :D
-->
Umbreon

Materials:

WW Yarn black and yellow

G Hook
Fiberfill
Yellow, red, white and black felt scraps
Yarn Needle

BODY:

Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)

Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (18)
Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (24)
Rnd 5: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (30)
Rnd 6: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (36)

Rnd 16: sc in next 9 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (30)
Rnd 17-20: sc in each sc around (30)
This is a fairly good place to begin stuffing and
shaping if you haven't already. Stuff fairly firmly while
also shaping the body. Continue stuffing and shaping
as you progress.
Rnd 21: sc in next 9 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (33)
Rnd 22: sc in next 10 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (36)
Rnd 23-25: sc in each sc around (36)
Rnd 26: sc in next 4 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (30)
Rnd 27: sc in next 3 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (24)
Rnd 28: sc in next 2 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (18)
Rnd 29: sc in next sc, dec over next 2 sc around (12)
Rnd 30: dec over next 2 sc around (6)
F/O. Add any stuffing needed to finish the shaping
and weave the tail thread through the final round,
pull gently to close up the small opening. Secure and
weave in the tail yarn.

HEAD/NECK:

Rnd 1: 8 sc in magic ring (8)

Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (16)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (24)
Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (32)
Rnd 5-6: sc in each sc around (32)
Rnd 7: sc in next 16 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in remaining
15 sc (33)

Rnd 9: sc in next 16 sc, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 16 sc
(35)

* * 3 more times, sc in remaining 14 sc (32)
Rnd 12: sc in next 2 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (24)
Rnd 13: repeat rnd 12 (18)
Rnd 14: sc in next 8 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 8 sc,
2 sc in next sc (20)
Rnd 15: sc in next 9 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 9 sc,
2 sc in next sc (22)
Rnd 16: sc in next 10 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 10
sc, 2 sc in next sc (24)
Stuff head firmly while shaping, pay particular
attention to the 'nose' area. The head should be
pinned to the upper portion of the body (roughly rnds
24-30) with nose area facing forward (the two 'points'
of the neck shaping create the cape that create the
gentle curve of the neckline. ) See photos to help with
placement.

of next 2 sc, sc in next sc, dec over last 2 sc (8)
Rnd 5: repeat Rnd 4 (8)
Begin stuffing at this point, foot and leg should be
stuffed moderately firm, without overstuffing. You'll
want a little bit of play in the leg to position the feet
as you prefer. Continue stuffing as you progress.

Rnd 20: sc in each sc around (6)
F/O. Add any stuffing needed to finalize the shaping
and weave in tail.

FINAL ASSEMBLY:

I highly recommend that you pin all parts together

before you begin to sew them, to make certain all
parts are as you like and in the position you prefer.

Head is sewn to body as shown, take your time and

pin the head on first, making sure that the neck is
adequately stuffed, and that the 'nape' of the neck is
positioned so as to create the curve of the neck. (See
the pictures to help you position the head)

For the yellow markings, cut 5 oval shapes from

yellow felt, then cut out the center of each to make
the 'rings'. Pin one of them to the head, between the
ears and slightly to the front. The other four are each
sewn onto the 'shoulders' of the leg pieces. You can do
this before you sew the legs to the body, but I would
recommend that you first pin the legs in the positions
you want on the body, and then pin the markings to
the legs as you prefer them, then unpin the legs and
sew on the markings (or you can wait to add the
markings after sewing on the legs.)

When sewing the legs on, you will probably want to

add a little stuffing under each 'shoulder'. Not much
stuffing is generally required here, just enough to give
a very slight 'roundness' to the shoulder/hip area – and
make a smooth transition from leg to 'body'.

Ears and tail are positioned and sewn on as shown.

Eyes are cut from red and black felt scraps, in shapes
as shown. Catch lights are very small pieces of white
felt.

Wow! SO cute! If only I could crochet...

Umbreon has always been one of my favorite

eeveeloutions. Ever since I was just a caterpie,
Pokemon has been close to my heart. It's
awesome to see that people get into it in such
creative ways!

Keep up the good work, and take your time with

those Eeveeloutions!

I am incredibly confused, and maybe I'm just
confusing myself here, but maybe you can clarify
for me? I'm on Row 4 of the Front Legs.

Rnd 4: 2 sc in next 2 sc, sc in next sc, 2 sc in each

of next 2 sc, sc in next sc, dec over last 2 sc (8)

What I'm reading is 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1. Isn't

that 11 stitches? I'm assuming one of these
increases should actually be a decrease (possibly
more than one?) but I'm not sure which one(s). Is
this a typo or are my eyes tired?
Reply

WolfDreamer August 6, 2010 at 1:06 AM

That was a typo, I apologize (I'm really good at
makes those, and I try to proof read several times
to clear them out, but I missed that).

I fixed, it, the first stitch is supposed to be a dec.

The row should end up like:

dec, sc, inc, inc, sc, dec

(so that you end up with 8 total sc still, but

you're creating a tiny 'bend' in the foot/ankle
area)

Ashley August 10, 2010 at 3:01 PM

Wagh! I love this and I've been working on it, but
I'm a wee bit stuck at one part, and it's
embarassing because it's fairly soon.

Round 13 of the body asks to crochet ten and

then decrease over next two sc around; what
exactly does this mean? I crochet from patterns a
lot but haven't seen a decrease written in such a
way. I understand there needs to be three
decreases from the ending stitch count, but
where should they be placed? Do they need to be
spaced or lumped all at once? Thanks for any
help!
Reply

WolfDreamer August 10, 2010 at 3:06 PM

It means to sc in each of the next 10 sc, then
make a decrease over the next 2 sc, then repeat
that sequence (sc in next 10, decrease) around to
the end of the round.

:D

All my dolls end up around 8-10 inches tall. I
would imagine that Umbreon is a little taller,
because of the ears, but not by very much.

Hi again! :) I just finally finished my Espeon
version of this pattern. I was wondering if you'd
like to use/post my modifications? Or if it would
be all right with you for me to post them on
Craftster? I don't have a blog, and I would link to
this post for the majority of the pattern. I have a
variation on the ears, a pattern for the "tufts" at
the side of her face, a new tail... and that's
basically it. Most of it is "work as from Umbreon
pattern." *lol* Anyway, just wondered what the
best way would be to go about sharing my
version.

this and just fell in love. I've so got to make this

there possibly any Pikachu style open top bags
