Pikachu Bucket Hat

Hi everyone!
In July of 2021, I decided to collaborate with my fellow Canadian and amigurumi artist Salina of Pocket Ami!
We decided on making patterns, since pattern writing is a big point of interest for us, and Pokémon amigurumi is what we have in common. Instead of making an amigurumi pattern, we decided to try accessories!
Check out my crochet process videos to see how I made the Pikachu Bucket Hat!
