Crochet Pokémon Heracross
Heracross is the cutest beetle I’ve ever seen! Crochet this second generation bug type Pokémon and have an adorable Heracross amigurumi to cuddle.
Hi everyone!
I made this crochet Heracross for a friend a little while ago. I noticed he was SUPER popular. I was constantly asked if I had a pattern for this crochet beetle.
Making crochet Pokémon patterns is the main reason I got into amigurumi, so I jump at any chance I can to design a new pattern
The finished Heracross stands approximately 12” tall. I wish all bugs were as cute in real life!
