Here are the most requested ideas I received in 2025! A big thanks to my Patreon patrons who helped me narrow down the list and added their own suggestions. They’re split into fanart and non-fanart categories since the fanart characters tend to become free patterns 💖

In these polls, you can choose as many options as you’d like. But if you have a different idea to suggest, feel free to leave a comment down below and I’ll put it on future lists! If you’re curious about what I’ve already made in the past, please do take a look at my detailed search filter. You may find I already have what you’re looking for! I can’t always promise I’ll make the suggestions in the same order as the poll. If it’s a big project it might mean I’ll need to be strategic with my schedule and rearrange how things go.

In the end though, please do remember that the goal of this blog is to celebrate the fun of making things! 🧵 So if your favorite character or franchise might not become a pattern, please know that it doesn’t reflect on whether it’s more or less worthy. Hopefully my huge backlog of previous patterns might help you make it to your goal! Thank you for your suggestions!

  1. Man, Pancake the Water Buffalo has more votes than the other Jim Henson’s Anima Jam Characters, Cholyknight.

    1. Sometimes it’s hard and frustrating to see the pattern ideas you love are not adored by everyone else. I have been wanting the Legend of Zelda patterns to be made and can’t fathom the concept that others aren’t over the moon excited about them too!
      I wish I had the talent Choly has and could make these kind of patterns too.

      1. Me, too! Totally agree. Legend of Zelda types have been on the polls since last year, or longer. 😢

  2. Last year you had among the votes for the schnauzer and now you don’t anymore, if it could come back I would like to make a plush of this type of dog and also if possible a pattern of Chimuelo, the dragon from How to Train Your Dragon miniature

  3. Unicorse is already on the list (thank you! 🙌🏼) – just wondering if it might possibly be in the works anytime soon? I’d love to make one as a puppet for my little boy’s birthday 🫶🏼🩵

    1. It’s currently ranking #27 from what I can see at this time 😊 So it likely won’t be any time soon, but I’ll keep rooting for it 💗 I’m sure it would be a really fun project!

  4. Unico the unicorn would be AMAZING! My son and nephew are obsessed with Unico, and it’s nearly impossible to find any toys of plush for them!

  5. A beaver pattern would be fun! There’s a US gas station chain called Buc-ee’s and they have a beaver mascot you might appreciate.
    I’m sad I haven’t seen Monokuma from Danganronpa on a poll yet.
