Fun Pokemon Patterns to Knit

I was poking around in the stats for the site, because that’s a thing normal people do, and I noticed there have been a lot of searches lately for Poekmon knitting patterns.

So it seemed like a good time to share that I have a great collection of Pokemon knitting patterns right here on this site! Looking for more Pokemon patterns? Check these out on Etsy.

This list is a couple of years old, but it does have lots of great stuff on it, including Pokeball inspired patterns and knits inspired by Pokemon characters.

A couple that I missed last time, because they hadn’t been published yet, are the Pikachu and pokeball and the Charmander patterns made by ayrshire knits. Charmanders are the cutest. Each of these patterns will run you £2, and they’re the perfect little projects to stitch up for a Poekmon lover.

The felted slipper craze that began last year doesn’t seem like it’s fading away. The Sailor Slippers, often striped knit and felted slippers made with super bulky yarn, because the project of the moment late last year (check out more knit slipper options in this post all about sailor slippers) and they’re still consistently popular with knitters.

Which makes sense because they are fun and fast to knit, and seeing them go from this giant thing to something that actually fits a foot feels a little magical.

I have always loved felting (in fact my first book was about felting knitting) and it’s always fun for me to see people rediscover this technique.

If you’ve knit enough plain slippers to fit all the feet you know, maybe it’s time to stitch up some tabi style slippers instead.

Maymade Knits has designed these cute tabi ballerina slippers, made with bulky yarn and felted. They’re worked flat at first and then in rounds, and are available in 10 EU sizes (the Internet tells me add 31 to your American shoe size to get your EU size). The designer says the slippers are meant to have a close fit and you should choose a size a little smaller than your foot for the ideal fit.

The pattern includes a video tutorial along with the written pattern.

You can grab this pattern on Ravelry. The same designer has her own version of the striped felted slipper as well, called Sarah’s Striped Slippers. These are worked in super bulky yarn and have a contrasting foot and a striped body. These are knit flat and seamed and there are 7 size options available. Check that pattern out here if you’re looking for a more traditional slipper shape. They also look roomier so you can wear them with socks if you like.
