Mamegoma (まめゴマ) is a Japanese baby seal character from San-x studio. He is so cute and comes in many different colors and varieties. I use the picture below as a model for my crochet Mamegoma.
I know that it doesn't look the same, especially the tail that I just realized after I finish making him. For me, it's still cute anyway. :D
Let's go to the pattern section!

Finally, Jigglypuff is published!!
There were a lot of obstacles for making this video tutorial. First the overwhelming assignments and proposal for my dissertation and when everything were done, the exam is right in front of me! Such a stressful month. And after exam, I have 1 week vacation before summer dissertation start, but I lost my crochet hook! It definitely somewhere in my room, but I couldn't find it. Even though I throughroughly clean my room, and look at every place I could think of, I still couldn't find it. So I have to use my spare hook, the purple that you see in part2 of the tutorial. I don't like this purple hook, the tip is too sharp, so it tends to hook the small fiber of the yarn all the time, and it makes weird noise when I crocheting. And the most important thing is it hurt my wrist. I think if I still cannot find my usual golden one, I have to consider buying a new one. And hope the new one won't hurt my wrist. If you know any good crochet hook brand in UK please tell me. :)
Ok, enough of complaining and let's get back to our Jigglypuff tutorial.
I make it bigger than my usual doll size I made for Youtube video. Most of my free pattern dolls are quite of similar size. I remember that Jigglypuff evolves from Igglypuff, so it slightly bigger than the Igglypuff. So I intend to make it in the same proportion as they are in anime. But when I finish making the Jigglypuff, I regret a little bit. I should make him the same size as my other dolls. If I want to keep going with this proportion things, Wigglypuff will be too big to fit on a screen. As you can see at the end of the video, my Jigglypuff is perfectly fit the screen and nearly out of the screen. LOL.

Rolling the smaller side to curl it up, and sewing to attach the curl, before sewing the hair to its body.
There's no need to stuffing the hair, but if you want, stuff it slightly, not too much. It will make his hair popping up too much and look weird.
