Hi everyone!
Yet another adorable Pokemon has climbed its way to the top of my list, this time it’s Arcanine! It’s the evolution of Growlithe, and boy does it show! This cute puppy has a whole bunch of details compared to its first form.
It has a cute sitting pose with big front and back paws. It leans over a little onto its arms for more of that puppy look. It also has a cute chubby muzzle. But the real challenge is all of the fluff pieces. Arcanine has little accent tufts of fur all over, so they’re recreated here in minky. You could also do them in faux fur, but that can be expensive and hard to find in light yellow.
So this pattern is rated a 6/10 because of all the darts and curved sewing in the head but also all the time it takes to sew and attach the fluff pieces. Hopefully you’ll think it’s worth it, because the finished result is certainly impressive! Who could expect any less from a final evolution, right? 😂
As always, the pattern comes with applique templates to make the face and other details. These will work if you’re sewing the details by regular machine or by hand. If you have an embroidery machine, you’ll find the embroidery files available for download here or with the buttons below. Every file has a 4×4 friendly option, though there might be small changes made to the design or they might be rotated to fit. There are also in-the-hoop files for all of the fluff pieces, but those vary in size and you might need a bigger hoop for the larger pieces.
I hope you all like it!
