COMPLETED: 46 GOAL: 649
When I first looked at this Pokemon, the first thing that struck me was how off balance he looks. The head is enormous compared to the body, and the tail is even larger. He almost seems to be ready to tip over at any time. I tried to keep this same look as I was crocheting him.
