#359 Absol

Hey!

I come here with a cute absol pattern for you guys this time!

If you're enjoying all my pattern posts, please consider supporting me!



Absol took a few rework to get it to look how I wanted it to. This one takes a little more fiddling so you may wish to start with one of my other patterns (such as some of the eeveelutions or the pokedoll clefairy) if you're new to crochet!

And here's the pattern:
