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. On the heels of the Jim Henson comment(s):
    *Yes, anything Henson including Dark Crystal
    *Invader Zim especially Gir
    ****Anything Douglas Adams!!!!!!! A purse/pouch in the form of hitchhiker’s Guide to Galaxy book, the mouth out thingy, Babel fish(!!), Starship Titanic, an embroidered towel, anything. Well, not Vogon poetry.
    *Norbert and/or DAG from Angry Beavers, bonus if el luchador hack included.
    ****Probably quite niche, but the Bad Zygon creature from The Intergalactic Nemesis and sequel. I think it’d be an amazing plush to make, fairly distinctive and unique I think (split skull 4 eyes and long claws). Reference: https://comicvine.gamespot.com/the-intergalactic-nemesis/4050-75443/ should be issue 7 on that site. For the record it’s a: live show, recorded “radio” show, and comic.
    *Whatever you’re in the mood for at any given time because a happy Choly makes for happy us.

    1. I agree with the Jim Henson suggestion. I also second the Gir from Invader Zim. I would like to make the additional suggestion of Finn and Jake from Adventure time. I know its old school but my kids love it, and it would go well with the Gunter pattern in your archives.

    2. Hello! I love all your plushies! I’ve made about 4! I have a request that I think will do very well! Hollow Knight is a very popular character that would definitely get some buys! -Lucy

    3. I’ve made my own Gir. If I could add a picture here I would. I’m actually quite proud of him. He’s small but really cute!

  2. I would love to have an Elfelin, different Waddle dees and Ultimo Elfilis from Kirby. Or Flygon and Goodra as Pokemon. I love your patter!

    1. Bellbeast from Hollow Knight: Silksong (with optional babies…?)!!
      Or any characters from Hollow Knight, really. The Little Knight would be SO easy to plush-ify!!

  3. I’d like to leave suggestions for projects you’d like to purchase.

    Knuckles the Echidna

    Tails (Miles ‘Tails’ Prower)

    Amy Rose

    Shadow the Hedgehog

    Hello Kitty
    Gudetama
    Badtz Maru
    My Melody
    Kuromi
    Pochacco
    Chococat
    Pompompurin
    Keroppi

      1. Can you please make a Link and Zelda plush pattern 🥺💚💛 it wold be cool if the variations would be Link and Zelda in there classic look and then the breath of the wild version please, it would mean a lot.

  4. Helloooo!!! Please, can you make the chaos emeralds from sonic the hedgehog? Or A Knuckles The Echidna and a Miles “Tails” Prower Pattern? Those would be really nice to complement the Heroes club from Sonic, thank youuu!

  5. Any chance Link and Zelda will make it this year? Every time I think they have a chance, another Pokémon zooms up the list.😢Im happy for those that like Pokémon, but sad that other fanart isn’t getting a chance to shine too.
    I enjoy your paid patterns a lot too, they really show your creativity and talent! Thank you for sharing it with us! ❤️

    1. I know, right. Other fanart deserves to get a chance. Like Jim Henson’s Animal Jam. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

    2. Unfortunately Link and Zelda are below quite a lot of other entries, so probably not 😓 I try to keep it fair by making it democratic, but I’ll see what I can manage for the future 💗

      1. Hello.
        Thank you for all the work and thought you put in your patterns.
        Would it be possible to create one for the Pokémon Skitty?

    3. I feel this too. Some Pokémon were fine, but she’s done so many and they dominate the polls. I’d love to see other things have a chance to shine.

  6. Pattern hacks for Derpy the Tiger and Sussy the 6 eyed magpie from K-Pop Demon Hunters would make some awesome Christmas presents this year for some kiddos (and adults!) I know! 🙏

  7. Hey there Choly!! I was wondering if you could maybe look into making more dog patterns (The options on the pattern poll are SO awesome btw, though there are just SO many I was thinking you could consider maybe like Dobermans or collie-like dogs as future ideas! Or perhaps just do pattern set where you could just mix-and-match to make whatever dogs you want.~) And maybe do a more realistic-type Rat/Mouse pattern? 😀

    Breathtaking work as usual!! I’m currently making a giant Appa as a Christmas gift. >:D

      1. Hello! Could younplease make some patterns of the forsaken characters? They are from roblox! It could be a bundle! I would definently buy it.

  8. fantasticdragon216c069456

    Henson stuff would be so great! I’m already using your owl pattern to try and make the owl from Labyrinth but the Muppets and plushies would be so adorable. I love all of your patterns and your site is the first place I look for any plush patterns!

  9. The sprites from Rainbow Bright would be cute. I still have several of mine years ago. It would be fun to make my own.

    Thanks

  10. Ponchos of the eevee evolutions to go over an Eevee stuffed animal ( that’s about 14″ tall). I have 8 Eevee stuffed animals I would love to make ponchos of the evolutions to go on them.

  11. Hi! It’s EV again your 13- year old fan. I have a suggestion for when you make the Great eared night jar. (Can’t wait!) What if you make cute lil dragon wings that slip over the actual wings to make it look like it’s dressing up as a dragon 😀 That would be a convenient Halloween plush! Thanks for helping me on my sewing journey! I wait patiently for the next plush patterns.

  12. Mikayla McNaughton

    Not sure if this has been suggested before but would love a sitting or standing Night Fury 🙏🏽 Now that the live action HTTYD movie is out

  13. Hi, id like to have some Dragon Ball pattern too. And how can i request a custom pattern from yours? I have some ideas and i want someone to do the design for me. I will appreciate that. Thank You!

  14. Hello, I have one suggestion and I would be super happy if you helped me with the plush. I want to make it as a gift but I can’t find a good pattern for it tysm!!!

    SLOWPOKE(normal/galarian)

  15. I would absolutely LOVE an Ogerpon Pokemon plushie pattern in any of their forms! Ogerpon is one of my favorites, their design is so fun and their backstory tugs at my heart! I wish I could hold them in my hands 🥹🤲💕

  16. could you make a dog pattern I’ve been trying to find a good dog pattern and i can’t find one could you make a dog one i would really enjoy making one!!!

  17. Hi,
    Would there be any any possibility of doing a psyduck pattern please (best pokemon ever)? Maybe as an add-on to modify the platypus one?
    Also an Ori from Ori and the blindforest would be awesome.
    Thank you so much for your awesome patterns! Your plushies make the absolute best birthday party favors! ❤️

  18. Also Death of rats from the discworld novels would be amazing !
    A TARDIS and a dalek too (Dr Who).
    And any and all disney animal characters
    ❤️❤️❤️

    1. OMG YES!!! I’ve been hoping to see another Pratchett fan beg for patterns on here. I’m not a pokemon fan (my gotta catch em all is brid sightings) and my skills aren’t up for modding them into my nerd territory! Seconding the TARDIS too!

  19. I would love to see some of the Sesame Street characters. especially Oscar the grouch, Cookie Monster, Elmo and Grover.

  20. aw, such low totals for Legend of Zelda characters. not much better than last year. can you recommend online patterns for Link, Zelda, and Midna, even Blupee and Sandseal? thanks for any helpful replies.

      1. Hey there, long time no see. What are you up to these days? How are you doing? Are you doing well? I hope you’ll do my ideas that I suggested to you soon. Let me know when you get this, bye

      2. Hello, I am well and I hope you are too. I’m still working hard creating patterns for all the suggestions I get 💗 It looks like other people might be interested in Edi the Zebra, so I’ll be sure to put her on the poll for next year. I haven’t seen any interest in the other characters though, but I’ll keep an eye out.

      3. I told you that people might like Edi the Zebra. And keep posted on my other character suggestions, Good luck.

  21. I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned before, but I’d love a Meowstic (pokemon) pattern. I’d also really like a bigger eeveelution set, either standing or laying down, maybe with the face in 3 panels so it can be really big but still 4″ hoop friendly.

    I really love all the patterns but I like my plushies to be giant and most of them sadly can’t be expanded with a 4″ hoop unless I want to do applique which I don’t really have the patience for anymore.

  22. What about a honey possum, a bushbaby, a tayra, a coati, an Olingo, a striped skunk, a ringtail, a kinkajou, a honey badger, a wolverine, a zorilla, a hagfish, a barrel eye fish, a cone snail, or a hooker sea lion?

  23. Ooh. I came here to request a coelecanth (the only one I’ve found was abysmal – pun unintended…) and maybe a simpler seahorse, but I’ll chime in on Henson characters!

  24. Since the beetle and armadillo were highish on the poll, will they be on next years?
    Also, would you possibly consider doing a sitting and/or wired option for your standing human so it can sit on a shelf (or be posed) when not being played with? thanks!

  25. Bluey: Muffin, Socks, Chattermax, Polly Puppy, Snickers
    DBZ: Shenron
    Blue’s Clues: Blue

    I’ve been following and using your patterns for years. I love how you take into account everyone’s ideas. Love what you are doing and thank you!
