About This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a charming Azumarill amigurumi with a sculpted egg-shaped body, scalloped white belly, long ears with felt insets, and a playful pom-pom tail. It combines basic amigurumi construction—single crochet rounds, increases and decreases—with a simple front-loop wave detail for the belly. The finished toy is great for display, play, or as a handmade gift for Pokemon fans. Materials are easy to source and the assembly is approachable.

You will work in continuous rounds and switch colors to create the white 'wave' belly detail, then add small felt pieces for eyes and mouth. Detailed assembly notes show where to attach feet, arms, ears, tail and how to finish the waves neatly.

Why You'll Love This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it captures the playful shape and personality of Azumarill with a few simple techniques. I enjoy how the scalloped white belly is made working in the front loops, creating a charming textured edge. The pattern is satisfying to shape as you stuff, and I find the tail and pom-pom add a delightful finishing touch. Making the felt face details always feels like giving the toy its personality, and I love seeing how every maker's dots and colors make each one unique.

Switch Things Up

I love personalizing amigurumi by changing colors; try pastel blues or even a rainbow body for a whimsical Azumarill variant.

If you want a larger or smaller toy, change the yarn weight and hook size; a bulkier yarn with a larger hook makes a cuddly chunky version while finer yarn creates a mini keychain-sized friend.

I sometimes replace the felt eyes with safety eyes for a glossier finish, or embroider eyes for a child-safe toy—both give different expressions.

To vary texture, use a boucle or boucle-blend yarn for the blue sections to give a fuzzy, tactile surface that feels unique.

Swap the pink ear insets for patterned fabric or contrasting felt colors to make playful personalities—try metallic felt for a sparkly effect.

Change the size and placement of the white dots across the body to create different looks; asymmetrical dots make each Azumarill feel handmade and special.

Add tiny accessories like a crocheted scarf, bow, or tiny hat to give the toy seasonal or character flair.

For posability, consider inserting a short length of wire into the tail or limbs before stuffing to help the toy hold poses.

I sometimes stitch small beads inside the feet before closing to help the toy sit sturdily; place them deep inside and secure well.

Experiment with embroidered mouths and different shaped felt mouths to change expressions — a smile, open mouth, or stitched line all change the personality.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the front-loop wave round can lose the scalloped edge effect; work Rnd 12 carefully and fasten off white as instructed so the waves form correctly. ✗ Forgetting to stuff as you go will make shaping difficult later; begin stuffing at the recommended rounds and add small amounts gradually for an even shape. ✗ Not counting stitches after increases or decreases leads to uneven shaping and mismatched rounds; count the stitch totals at the end of each round to confirm accuracy. ✗ Pulling yarn too tight when switching colors can distort the shape; attach the new color gently and maintain even tension when working into back loops or front loops. ✗ Skipping the step to sew the waves up to the blue section can let the wave edges flop forward; use white sewing thread to stitch them evenly as directed for the correct effect.

Infos :

Gauge isn't terribly important here, but your choice of hook and yarn should result in a tight stitch that won't allow the fill to show through. Numbers at the end of each round or row indicate the total number of stitches that should be in that round or row.

8 sc in magic ring (8)

F/O white. (the 'waves' you've created may want to curve back to the front for now, that's ok. (40)

Round 13 :

If you look just behind the round you just worked, you'll notice a 'line' of free loops (the back loop that was not worked through). Attach your blue yarn to one of these loops and sc in the same loop. Sc in each remaining loop around (40)

Secure the yarn well and weave in end. Using white sewing thread and sewing needle, carefully sew the 'waves' that are in front up to the blue section so that they're even and create the 'wave' effect desired around.

— Final Assembly :

Info :

Feet are sew to bottom of body as shown in photos. Arms are sewn to the side of body just above the 'wave' of the white section.

Info :

Ears are sewn to top of head as shown. Face details are made by cutting out small ovals for eyes, and the mouth shape from felt and gluing or sewing them on. (tiny white bits of felt for the catchlights in the eyes are easiest glued where possible a small dot of white fabric paint also works)

Info :

Cut various sized circles for the 'dots' across the body. I didn't do the circles around the back of mine, but you can if you like. I'm sure in 'pokemon nature' no two azumarill's dots are exactly the same

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the feet to the bottom of the body evenly spaced so the toy stands upright, using the photos as visual reference and a whipstitch for secure attachment.
  • Sew the arms to the sides of the body just above the scalloped 'wave' of the white section, angling slightly forward for a natural pose and securing ends well.
  • Sew ears to the top of the head, position them symmetrically and add the pink felt insets by pinning them inside then sewing or gluing them in place.
  • Weave the tail through the final round of the body, tug to close the opening, then attach the ball of tail to the black tail and secure the end inside the body; hide excess yarn inside the doll.
  • Using white sewing thread and a sewing needle, tack the front-loop 'waves' up to the blue section so the scalloped edge lays evenly and creates the desired wave effect.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a tight gauge so the stuffing does not show through; choose hook and yarn that create a firm fabric.
  • 💡Begin stuffing the body around the rounds recommended in the pattern and stuff gradually to control shaping and avoid lumps.
  • 💡Weave in ends and secure tail and pom-pom ends inside the doll to prevent unraveling and to create a neat finish.
  • 💡Count stitches at the end of each round to ensure the correct stitch total is maintained for shaping accuracy.

FAQs

What size will the finished piece be?

The finished amigurumi size will depend on your yarn and hook, but using worsted weight yarn and a G hook the toy will be approximately palm-sized (around 10-15 cm tall).

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes, you can use different yarn weights, but this will affect the final size and the amount of stuffing needed. Adjust your hook size to match the yarn and keep a tight gauge.

Do I need prior crochet experience for this pattern?

This pattern is rated intermediate; basic experience with single crochet, increases, decreases, working in front/back loops, and sewing pieces together is recommended.

How do I make the white scalloped 'wave' on the belly?

Work Rnd 12 in the front loops only using the sequence of sl st, hdc, dc, hdc and repeats as written, fasten off white, then attach blue yarn to the back loop line and continue as directed.

How should I attach the tail ball securely?

Before closing the tail ball completely, insert the free end of the black tail into the ball, pull tails to close, then secure with a yarn needle and weave the ends into the body to hide and fasten.
