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.

    1. The armor pattern she released a few years ago has a nice tunic that world work for Robin! That would be a super cute pair.

  6. Can you do the autism/tbh creature. I promised my sister I would make one for her some day. Her birthday is coming up and I know she would love it

    1. Loretto Pérez Pontón

      Hey, if you want to know what is she up to, I sugest you can join her patreon, not only you get sneek peaks of what is she working on but get to know tons of cool stuff and support her as creator 👍

  7. Please more warrior cats characters !!!! Like yellowfang mapleshade or princess or any character i love them all!!!!!

  8. I would die for a shrimp pattern. My gf and I keep freshwater shrimp and are always looking for shrimp themed items to add to our shrimp shrine

  9. Could you make a plushie from Spiral Knight please ? There are so many cute things to do like the Snarbolax, cute fantom cats mob or little minion dragon !

      1. Thirded! This could be a really cool Halloween pattern. You could even make it into a backpack pattern. there are a ton of options for something like this but I think it would be a really interesting doll to make in your specific doll style.

    1. I second this! He would be a lot of fun! My sister really likes TADC so if got a pattern I could make one for her birthday. Jax, Ragatha, or Gummigoo would also be interesting!

  10. hi cholyknight I love dragons personally, and have the multi headed dragon pattern I was wondering which/what size the dragons head would have to be for other patterns to fit sorry if I said that weirdly

    1. Hello! Yes the multi-headed dragon has a finished head size of about 3.5″ tall. So if you were to shrink the head from another pattern you’d also want it to be about 3.5″ tall when sewn and stuffed. I hope that might help!

  11. Hello!
    Please make a pattern of Esquie (expedition 33). My six years old daughter love him so much. I paid for this for sure!!!
    Thank you!

  12. Love your patterns and your distinctive style so much. Hoping for a vulture for Halloween someday. Trying to hack the birds into a vulture, but haven’t figured it out just yet.

    Also hoping for a skull pattern and maybe an anatomical heart which is a bit off what you do, but am such a fan of your pattern quality, I can hope.

  13. The Star Wars, Alien and Cryptids on the voting poll actually make me so happy I really hope that one of them gets turned into a plushie

  14. I hope you make the patterns for Baphomet, Krampus, Mothman and any other Bipeds they can match up with the Anthro patterns so we can use the clothes for them if we want

  15. I don’t know if it’s been on the polls before, but I would love to make a plush of Sisu Datu from Raya and the Last Dragon. Also, super excited to see Trico on the list!! I love Trico so much

  16. Would you ever consider a pattern that is free and public but doesn’t have a set of instructions like the 20cm idol dolls? But also patterns that can be found on the archive where it’s only patterns but no instructions.

  17. People ask me for koroks a lot so I’d love if you did Hestu and added a couple more Korok faces! Also Amaterasu from Okami since it’s the games 20th anniversary and a second game is in the works!

  18. fantasticdragon216c069456

    I know Jeff the land shark is on the poll but I think it’d be great to see more marvel stuff next year! Thanks for all your awesome patterns!!

  19. This has probably been previously asked, but I hope it’s a good question. Do these poll totals also reflect what your patreon subscribers choose?
