A dopey Pokémon that remains in a daze except when fishing with its tail. Awake or asleep, there is little difference.
I couldn’t have been more excited when I got the commission for a Slowpoke. This dopey sweetheart has always been one of my favourites. I would say this is an intermediate level pattern; with a few strange techniques to get the shaping of everything right. Super proud of achieving the curl on that tail too!
Feel free to sell your completed Slowpoke in small quantities- but be sure to credit me. Linking back to my blog is a huge help. Also, please tag me on Instagram- I love seeing everyone’s finished creations!
