About This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a small, egg-shaped Azumarill amigurumi with detailed belly waves, ears with felt insets, and a bobble tail. The pattern uses worsted weight yarn and simple amigurumi construction to shape the body, feet, arms and ears. You will sew on felt features and small circles for the signature body spots for a polished finish.

Why You'll Love This Azumarill Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it blends simple amigurumi techniques with a fun decorative 'wave' around the belly that really gives the toy character. I enjoy how the felt insets and hand-cut spots let me add tiny personality details that make each Azumarill unique. The tail and bobble are playful finishing touches that bring the design to life. This pattern is satisfying to stitch and finishes as a sturdy little toy you can proudly display or gift.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with colors when I make this Azumarill; try pastel blues or mint for a softer look instead of the classic blue.

If you want a larger version, I often switch to bulky yarn and a larger hook to make a chunky, cuddly Azumarill.

For a tiny keychain, I use fingering weight yarn and a smaller hook to scale the pattern down dramatically.

I enjoy adding embroidered smiles or different eye shapes rather than felt to give each face its own expression.

Try using safety eyes for durability, or felt for a softer, handcrafted finish depending on who will play with the toy.

To make the tail posable, I sometimes add thin wire inside before closing and securing the ends well inside the body.

Change the number and placement of felt dots to create unique patterns—no two Azumarills need to match exactly.

Swap the white belly waves for a contrasting color stripe if you want a bolder graphic look on the tummy.

Mix yarn textures, such as a slightly fuzzy yarn for the body with smooth yarn for the belly, for an interesting tactile contrast.

I often add little accessories like a tiny crochet bow or heart sewn to the chest to personalize gifts and make each piece special.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not working tightly enough can cause stuffing to show through; use a smaller hook or tighter tension to prevent holes and keep the fill contained. ✗ Skipping the front-loop only round can remove the wave detail; be sure to work exactly as written in Rnd 12 to create the belly waves. ✗ Forgetting to stuff gradually leads to lumps or flat shaping; add stuffing slowly and shape as you work to maintain the egg shape. ✗ Not securing the tail ends inside the body may cause unraveling; weave the tail through the final round and pull tight, then secure and weave in ends inside the doll.

Info :

F/O. Add any stuffing needed to finish the shape. Just before you tug up the opening, insert the other end of the tail, pull tails to close opening and using yarn needle, secure the opening and end of tail. Weave in the loose end.

— 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, spacing them evenly so the toy stands; secure with a whipstitch and weave in ends for stability.
  • Position and sew the arms to the sides of the body just above the white 'wave' section, angling them slightly forward if desired for a natural pose.
  • Attach the ears to the top of the head as shown in photos; add pink felt insets inside ears and sew or glue them securely in place.
  • Weave the black tail through the final round at the back of the body, secure it inside the doll, then sew the bobble (ball of tail) onto the tail end and weave in loose ends.

Important Notes

  • 💡Gauge isn't terribly important, but choose a hook and yarn that produce tight stitches so the stuffing does not show through.
  • 💡Numbers at the end of each round indicate the total number of stitches that should be in that round.
  • 💡Begin stuffing the body around the transition from white to blue and continue stuffing as you shape to achieve a smooth egg form.
  • 💡Use white sewing thread and a sewing needle to secure the wave detail and felt pieces neatly for a polished finish.

This Azumarill amigurumi pattern combines classic rounds with playful details like a wavy belly and bobble tail. It is a delightful weekend project that finishes into a lovable little companion. Grab your yarn and felt and let your creativity hop to life! 🧶🧵
