About This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern guides you through crocheting an Azumarill-style amigurumi with a soft egg-shaped body, floppy ears, small feet and a bobbed tail. It uses worsted weight yarn and felt details for eyes, mouth and body spots. The wavy white border is created by working in front loops for a scalloped effect and then attaching the blue section.

Simple rounds, basic increases and decreases make shaping straightforward, while felt accents add character quickly. Finished size will depend on your yarn and hook choice.

Why You'll Love This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines simple amigurumi shaping with a playful silhouette that comes together quickly. The wavy white border technique is satisfying and gives the piece a flattering, unique look. I enjoy how the felt details let you personalize the expression and spots in minutes. Sewing the tail and pompom creates a delightful finishing touch that always makes me smile when the character is complete.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this pattern by changing the color scheme; swap the blue for pastels to create a soft nursery toy or use bright colors for a playful look.

I sometimes make a mini version by using sport weight yarn and a smaller hook; this makes adorable keychain-sized Azumarill figures.

I often replace felt eyes with safety eyes for a glossier finish, or embroider eyes for a child-safe option — both look great and change the character's expression.

Try adding embroidery or French knots on the body instead of felt spots for a textured, handcrafted effect that will stand out.

If you want a poseable toy, consider threading thin wire into the tail before closing to give it a bit of poseability while keeping the outside soft.

I sometimes make the pompom tail larger or smaller to alter the silhouette — adjust stuffing and rounds in the ball to match your vision.

Swap the white scalloped border for a contrasting color to give the design a bolder, graphic look; sewing the waves more or less will change how prominent they appear.

I like to experiment with different felt mouth shapes and positions for different expressions — try a small smile or surprised 'O' for variety.

For a holiday twist, add a tiny crocheted hat or scarf in a complementary yarn; these small accessories are quick to make and add charm.

If you want a sturdier base, sew a small plastic safety disc inside the bottom before adding final stuffing to help the toy stand upright more reliably.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the front loop-only round for the waves will flatten the scalloped edge; work Rnd 12 in front loops exactly and secure the waves later with sewing thread. ✗ Not stuffing as you go causes lumps or overstuffing at the end; begin stuffing around Rnd 18 and add small amounts while shaping to keep a smooth form. ✗ Forgetting to count stitches after increases and decreases leads to wrong stitch counts; count at the end of each round and mark rounds with a stitch marker. ✗ Sewing parts without pinning first can make placement uneven; pin feet, arms and ears in place and check symmetry before sewing securely. ✗ Pulling the tail yarn too tight when closing can distort the body shape; weave the tail through the final round and gently tug, then secure and weave in excess yarn inside the doll.

— Notes :

Info :

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.

— Body :

Info :

Beginning with white yarn:

Round 1 :

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)

Round 14-16 :

sc in each sc around (40)

Round 17 :

F/O. Add any more stuffing needed to finish the shaping of the body. It should be a nice 'egg' shape. Weave the tail through the final round and tug to close opening. 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 feet to the bottom of the body, spacing them evenly so the doll stands; use photos as a reference for placement and angle.
  • Position and sew arms to the side of the body just above the white 'wave' section; angle slightly forward for a natural pose and secure with tight stitches.
  • Attach ears to the top of the head and stitch firmly through the base; add pink felt insets and sew or glue them in place to match the photos.
  • Weave the tail yarn through the final round at the back, tug to close the opening, then sew the tail strip to the body and insert the pompom ball end inside before closing.
  • Glue or sew felt eyes and mouth onto the face, adding tiny white felt catchlights for shine or a small dot of white fabric paint if preferred.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a smaller hook than recommended for a tighter fabric if your stitches are loose, so stuffing does not show through.
  • 💡Stuff gradually and shape as you go, especially beginning around Rnd 18, to avoid lumps and achieve the smooth egg shape.
  • 💡Pin parts in place and check symmetry before sewing to make sure arms, feet and ears are aligned and even.
  • 💡Securely weave in and hide all yarn tails inside the doll to keep the exterior neat and avoid loose ends.

This Azumarill amigurumi pattern captures a playful, rounded character with cute felt details and a bobbed tail. The scalloped white waves are a fun detail that adds personality and texture. Make one as a thoughtful handmade gift or as part of a Pokemon-themed collection. 🧶💙

FAQs

What size will the finished piece be?

The finished amigurumi size depends on your yarn and hook; using worsted weight yarn and a G/4.0mm hook typically yields a small toy roughly 10-15 cm tall.

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes — switching yarn weight and hook will change the finished size; a bulkier yarn with a larger hook will give a chunkier doll, while finer yarn will make a mini version.

Do I need prior crochet experience for this pattern?

This pattern is rated intermediate; you should be comfortable with single crochet, increases, decreases, working in rounds and basic finishing techniques.

How long does this project typically take to complete?

Most crocheters complete this project in 5-7 hours, though time may vary based on experience level, customization and assembly time.

How should I attach the pompom ball to the tail?

Before fully closing the pompom ball, insert the finished tail strip into the opening, pull tail ends to close, then sew securely with a yarn needle and weave in the loose ends.
