Giant Crochet Dratini
This giant Dratini plush is perfect for snuggling. Much better than any body pillow, use the free Dratini crochet pattern to make your own Giant Pokémon amigurumi!
Hi everyone!
Let me introduce you to the Giant Dratini Crochet Pattern! The only downside… you’re going to need a lot of stuffing! Dratini measures 26” long. Practically life-size!
I know it looks like it would take a long time and a lot of work to complete this project, but as I said above, this crocheted Pokémon works up quickly! Did I mention this Dratini plush was made with Bernat Blanket yarn?
This life-size Dratini is probably my favorite creation to date and I am not disappointed with how it turned out. Unsurprisingly, this is my most popular pattern next to my Heracross crochet pattern.
