I am so proud and excited to bring you this Alolan Sandslash pattern! Despite the spikes he’s still so huggable, especially in the cold winter temps.

The completed Sandslash amigurumi is fairly large, and stands approximately 14.5 inches tall (to tip of spike) x 9 inches wide (’spike span/ outermost spike to spike) x 13 inches deep (tip of tail to toe) and is the largest amigurumi I’ve ever designed.

Completion of this pattern requires several skills, and therefore I would highly recommend previous crocheting experience (at least moderate level.) Additional skills include: Color changes, understanding of crochet in front/back loops only, working in rows instead of rounds, ‘other’ stitch types (Hdc, Dc, Tc), embellishing edges with sl st, and needle felting for facial details. Time and patience are also a must, as this Sandslash is composed of 33 separate pieces.

The Alolan Sandslash Crochet Pattern is 10 pages in total (including the Title page) and includes detailed diagrams on the placement of major pieces.

Immediate download is available after purchase! To download: After PayPal Payment, click “return to Merchant” and click the link under “Order Details.”

I hope you’re willing to take on the challenge of crocheting Alolan Sandslash!
