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!

2,320 thoughts on “Pattern Poll”

    1. You listed over 70 options. You’ll probably have better luck if you narrow down the list to a few favourites rather than asking for the cast of multiple shows.

      1. Thanks. It would mean a lot to me. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

  1. Ooh would love Aussie animals! As an Australian, Aussie animals are always good gifts to relatives but the only Aussie animal pattern you have is a platypus.

    1. I love Australian animals too. I was kind of thinking, Australian animals could be a Tasmanian devil, a wombat, and a honey possum. What do you think?

  2. The creatures from Infinity Nikki would be really cute to make, have you ever seen any or played the game? A dawnfox , looptail pika, felispirit sack, or a flit-flit winglet plush would be so cute

  3. I think kyubey was on the potential pattern list a bit ago but it would be amazing if a pattern came out around the movie release this winter/spring!

  4. I hope we’ll see Link and Zelda on the poll again for next year. They were pretty close to the top! I’d love to see both classic (Ocarina style) and modern (Breath of the Wild) designs.

    Someone above mentioned Forsaken characters from Roblox, and I know my kid is really into that game. Lots of characters and variations.

    As for me, I’d love to see the Deltarune heroes. I’ve been making my own from a hodgepodge of your patterns and a few free patterns, but I would love to see how you’d interpret them! Especially Susie, I’m using a modified version of your Godzilla pattern for her face.

    There have been so very many Pokémon. Any thoughts of putting a cap of those for a future year? Like maybe doing the top 5 and leaving the other spots for other fandoms? 🙂

    Looking forward to the 2026 poll!

  5. Hey there Cholyknight, it’s me Unicorn Fairy again. How often do you check what we’ve commented? I was just wondering. Let me know when you get this message.

  6. Hi CholyKnight, first time suggesting, I would love to see more dinosaur patterns from you. I bought your pack and I think they’re all so cute, and I would be more than happy buying a second dinosaur bundle (or even individual patterns). I personally would love to see pachycephalosaurus, iguanodon, and spinosaurus. I think they’d look cute in your style.

  7. Bell Beast from Hollow Knight: Silksong! It’s so cute! The Bell Beast sings, does a little dance, and eventually has babies! They also sing, and roll up into balls! Pretty much this games bug puppies!

    1. Hello, I should be able to get the poll up in about 5 more days. The poll can only hold 50 entries, but I got several hundred suggestions. So I have to narrow them down 💗

      1. Alright Cholyknight. I was just reminding you. Also, do you need more ideas from me? Because I was thinking you could do Snowball and Snowflake the baby Harp Seals from the show called Igloo-Gloo. If you don’t know that show, I’m sending you a playlist of the show for you to watch.

        Igloo-Gloo 🦭🩵 🦭💖🎀

  8. I stand by previous suggestions, but I’ve recently renewed my appreciation of The Wild Thornberrys. If you ever feel like something different, Donnie would be a blast, that hair, bwahaha.

    May the creative juices keep flowing, you skip with enjoyment of most of what you do, and your sleep be deep.

  9. Would be very cool to see more mlp patterns this year like other species like changling kirin hippogriff Griffin kirin the princess and more mane types ik this is a lot j don’t really expect it as a free pattern bit I’d love too see it one day possibly a a big paid bundle would be so awesome :3

  10. I’m partial to animated pigs, so Waddles from Gravity Falls and/or Fat Nuggets from Hazbin Hotel would make me so very happy.

  11. Hi! Could you please make more plushies from Sonic The Hedgehog? It would be nice to have a Tails, a Knuckles or a Shadow alongside the Sonic I made

  12. Hmmmm…….
    Well there’s seems to be a plethora of Pokemon & anime. Not really interested in that, I see it everywhere. I find your original designs to be more interesting. Patterned: I’d like to see new doll characters/outfits, seated squirrel, tall cats (think 50’s), kawaii styled ornaments, in the hoop designs (5 x 7 & up), updated Kelpie, Fantasia styled goldfish, Jack O Lantern & mice. Would love to see the printed plush get more options this year. Thanks!

    1. In addition to thr Hellaverse Characters, other MLP races/stallions/princesses, and doll patterns from other cultures, I forgot to add a kigu/onesie pattern (for us, not the dolls).

  13. WOW 2026 pattern poll looks good🥰 it’s refreshing to see that among all this Pokemon, gatomon from digimon series has a chance to get a pattern. I’ve always wanted a cholyknight digimon plushie. Hope it gets lots of votes this time

  14. The polls this year are absolutely stacked. I can’t wait to see what gets made this year. Kinda off topic but Choly, you taught me how to sew since 2021, and because of your patterns I’m able to mix and match your patterns and come up with a few bits or even come up with a whole new patterns myself sometimes! Thank you so much for teaching me. I wish you a happy new year and happy sewing!
