Stuffing
the belly and face plate (1 [300g] skein)

Crochet
(1 [300g] skein)
Hook
- OPTIONAL: Bernat Baby Blanket yarn in the color
‘White’ for the nails - you may also use the same color • Stitch
as the belly/face plate (Vintage White) but I prefer to markers
use a brighter white for the nails (1 [300g] skein)
• Sewing pins
- Any medium 4 black yarn for the eyes and mouth
• Yarn Needle
• OPTIONAL for the 2 teeth:

Notes

• This pattern uses US terminology only.

• I use the yarn under/yarn over method, but you may use whichever method
you prefer.

• All decreases in this pattern use the invisible decrease method - the regular
decrease method will leave larger gaps in your work. I highly recommend
using the invisible decrease method.

• The body parts are crocheted in a continuous spiral, and the belly and face
plates are crocheted in rows. This will also be specified in their relative
sections before you begin crocheting the pieces.

• When you crochet the body, you will find that ruffles or curls form. This is
normal due to the large amount of increases in the belly and it’s okay
because it’s what’s going to make him nice and chunky in the end! Just make
sure when it’s time to stuff that you stuff him enough so that his body takes
on a round shape!

TIP: For this pattern, I crochet into the front and back loop of each chain, so on the first side, I will be crocheting into all 14
front loops. When I flip to the other side, I am crocheting into ALL 14 back loops of the chain. (ignoring the 15th chain) Below

Assembly
Now that we’ve got all the pieces crocheted, we’re going to assemble them! I’m going to walk you through exactly how I sew
everything together to ensure things get sewn on evenly. Some of it may seem tedious, but after making Snorlax multiple
times this is how I ensure he gets sewn up accurately! Of course, you can feel free to sew everything together in any way you
please! This is just how I do it if you’d like to follow along. Feel free to skip to parts two and/or three, where I add the nails and
face, if you’d prefer to sew things on your way.
