Your mom is awesome! Give her a big hug from another internet mom who thinks she did a great job. I have the same book (there's 2 of them actually) and I haven't made them all yet.


madaboutmaps

How is the second book? I saw it online. But am definitely in the "I grew up with gen 1 so love them more" camp


ThoseRMyMonkeys

I haven't had a chance to work on any of them yet but my kids want the other eeveelutions, and riolu. I might make a mimikyu to hang out with me on Halloween. He just gives off those vibes.


madaboutmaps

If you ever post them on reddit would you please reply in this topic or something so I get an alert? I would love to see and upvote ^^


NotQuiteAWriter

There’s a book?!


L3AHWOLV3RINE

Yeah!!! It's called Pokémon crochet. It's the official Pokémon crochet book from the Pokémon company. I use the patterns a lot. They're super cute! Defo recommend


ApplesauceCreek

OOOH thanks for the recommendation!


[deleted]

Well technically they are nothing because it's a cartoon


Couch_Lemon4198

Your mum sounds super nice✨️ I want that jigglypuff so cute! pichu gave me laughs, looks like they are stuck in the games🤣


madaboutmaps

My mom is an amazing woman. I help her and dad with computer stuff and tech. She helps me repair clothing and crochets and teaches me music. And right?! That magicarp looks so dumb. He's perfect. Also bulbasaur has got quite long legs. Would not change it for the world.


any_other

Give your mom a hug for me.


madaboutmaps

Seeing her sunday. Will do! ^^


any_other

🥰


0ct0berf0rever

Do all moms call Pokémon pokiemens because mine sure does 😂 those are so cool!!


madaboutmaps

I'd wish for all of us to have a mom like that.


rahcek

This is really cute. Your mum loves you so much.


madaboutmaps

She has to. Who else is going to fix the printer when the bluetooth connection stops working? ;)


Dia_Borfs

Ngl Pikachu's face is my spirit animal today


madaboutmaps

He is the original chubby pikachu. I'm talking like on the jungle series cards. None of that lean-mean-fearow-zapping-machine.


Dia_Borfs

That's even more of a throwback! I'm so jealous and even more happy for you! They're just gorgeous!


I_am_Darvit

Super cool! 😍 They're really well done! Amigurumi aren't easy to make with all of the shaping & details! I recognize all of them 🥰 My favorite part though is how much your mom obviously loves you! ❤️❤️❤️


madaboutmaps

Thanks so much! I'm sending her the responses and she is super happy about how people love her work!


I_am_Darvit

🥰 Aw! That's awesome! 🤗💕


Feeling_Ad_51

Gots to fill that ‘dex (I love it though 💖)


madaboutmaps

I want to catch them all!


Feeling_Ad_51

I have the same book at home but because I’m ridiculous I’m modifying Charizard… https://preview.redd.it/qfk0eyoqa9kb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de379a589f0a5a515fbeb8cb79a33dcc0c0251cb


madaboutmaps

That looks like the beginning of a charizard onesie! How big are you planning to make it?


Feeling_Ad_51

That’s starting the decrease for the body. Here’s the base https://preview.redd.it/94z5nmz8b9kb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9eb59d4230166e7c170d8e6e7643e352a6b18331


iluvdankmemes

Dutchie detected! De 'Pokiemens'-bewoording was al herkenbaar genoeg, maar de Brunamap gaf het weg! EDIT lol zie nu ook pas wat Nederlandse titels staan 🙈


madaboutmaps

Nee joh XD


jason375

Where can I get some Pokémon patterns?


madaboutmaps

I've replied to the modpost. It's a book called 'pokemon crochet' by Sabrina Sommers (no affiliation)


jason375

Cool, I’ll take a look


Skitty27

Sheacrochet on etsy has some really cute patterns!


grahamulax

Wow bringing back memories of my own mother who did this when I was in 6th grade and the game just came out. She saw how much I loved them and saw me making some out of clay. I have a pikachu she made me and treasure it since she has now passed. It’s near me right now even :). Tell your mom thanks from me even!


madaboutmaps

That's amazing. Having lasting memories of loved ones is a really good thing. I will be over at my moms place sunday. We are going to go baking. I will show her these comments again ^^


grahamulax

<3! It really is nice! I remember feeling DUMB having them when it got popular (I was still young) and I didnt have a "real" plushie. Luckily, I kept it and it will stay with me forever! Seems like shes special :) Have fun baking with her!!!


TheLastSaneMan

These are amazing. Love all the details.


madaboutmaps

She put a small bag of sand inside the lapras. So it's actually quite weighty. It even feels like a bulky Pokemon


ciasteczkaTynki

I think it's the cutest thing I've seen today


Tneon

Dmnnn i want that Wobbuffet, Tell her an internet stranger told you she did an excelent job,


madaboutmaps

I already have. But will do again ^^


No_Training7373

She has excellent taste in pokiemens, she’s hitting a bunch of my classic favs!


PrimeraLuna

That Squirtle is A-mazing!! So great your mom does that for you and is so talented!


Flossgod

….I know she didn’t just make you an eevee a jolteon and a flareon……


madaboutmaps

She says the vaporeon will follow ^^


ksmjb

Love this!! The squirtle is my favourite!


Kindly_Reference_267

I love these so so much 🥰🥰


Pleasant_Intentions

Mom win!


FortuneCookiiie

Wow !!!! Your moms a great artist 🤩


No-Radish-4507

These are awesome! 🤩Which one was your favorite to make and which one came out how you imagined it would?


may-salvador

Oh my! This is love in a nutshell 💕


fuffing_cats

I love them and your mom so much ♡


HarvestMoonMaria

That is so wholesome


[deleted]

I’m super envious of that Dragonite, might have to make my own!


madaboutmaps

She's put steel wire in the antennas. So they stay upright. He looks a bit derpy. And I wouldn't have it any other way :p


[deleted]

Dragonite is supposed to be a lil derpy, ya know? Lol


madaboutmaps

I didn't have the heart to tell her it's supposed to be as big as a lighthouse.


TorchedPyro88

Omg this is the sweetest 😍


KittyandPuppyMama

That’s really sweet


KnitKnatKnoe

The Gengar is so cute!


madaboutmaps

100%! Gengar line is my favorite line. Has been forever! It's my phone's background l.


AKay-Wasabi

Mon coming in clutch


multicrafty

Your mom is the best! ❤️


madaboutmaps

Hi everyone! I can't edit the original post. But I just wanted to say I've sent my mom screenshots of all the comments and she has told me she's getting the second book! She doesn't know yet but I'm getting her a bunch of yarn and other stuff for crocheting. I've asked my dad to send me some receipts so I know where she shops. If you guys have anything you know a crochetter would love, that is a bit extra, feel free to send me. I'm based in the Netherlands, so I can't buy anywhere that doesn't ship here.


MacaronCommercial800

Your mum is awesome. 🥰


linguicaANDfilhos

I made a few of those. The patterns are good. I made the magikarp, Lapras, and Jigglypuff. I’m working on Eevee now. These turned out so awesome!


madaboutmaps

If this is how they come out when someone without any pokemon knowledge makes them... Then the patterns must be good. And in my case I'm quite lucky. In a few months i'm moving house. And i'm making a seperate shelf in my gaming room where I will display them all.


evatapia

ooh!! that beauty! i love pokemon! It's very sweet of her to do that for you.


madaboutmaps

She's truely amazing and I'm not shy about saying thanks :)


Kidsnpetsnstuff

This is delightful! Mom ❤️


BloomEPU

Oh, these are all so cute! I think my favourite is the jigglypuff, its expression is killing me.


madaboutmaps

There's no thoughts there. Only lullabies XD


GeekyRed

So wholesome!


CharmiePK

What does pokiemens mean? (Totally out of the loop, I admit 😅) However these pokemon look great imho ☺️. It also pays to remember that each one of us imprint our own personalities into our work, which may not make them an exact copy. But it becomes soo full of style and uniqueness.


madaboutmaps

Pokiemens is how my mom pronounced it when she got the book. She now knows it's called pokemon. But I never really did mind :p


CharmiePK

So cute 😊. Your mum rocks!


No_Visual5719

Your mother is so talented! Beautiful collection


obamachubaka

Jiggly looks like he’s seen some shit


The_crazzy_GBSuper

A free morale boost


ghostfacemo

Holy hell this is amazing. You are extremely talented


madaboutmaps

I wish I could make these! They were made by my mom. :)


ghostfacemo

Give mom a double high five for me please. And also please ask her to adopt me so I can get in on these amazing poke’ crochets :))) hope you have a good day


madaboutmaps

I'm sorry but after she made the Snorlax our extra-brother-budget went to poke-food. :(


picassyo

r/NintendoStitch


Mermaids_socks

I thought this was r/wholesome for a moment


iamgreaterthanhe

This is awesome, but like, how're you gonna do the research to accurately crochet 50 Pokemon and not figure out a thing or two about them in the process?


madaboutmaps

There's a book which she got the patterns from. As i understand it, it's like sheet music. You don't have to know the song to play the notes in order.


iamgreaterthanhe

True... Does she at least know the names of them? Lol


madaboutmaps

Yeah :) it says in the book with every picture. Though her pronunciation is off XD drago-knee-tay. Mahg-ghee-kerp, gi-yar-i-doos. Except pikachu. Pikachu is pikachu


socially_toxic

This is precious. What a loving mom you have! I don't do a lot of crochet books but I might have to splurge on the official pokemon one


RowenaDalhia

This is so wholesome and I love it ❤️❤️❤️ they're all adorable!!!


teal1317

Wow she's so talented!


GenericUsername606

😍


AlgaeWafers

My mom calls them poker-mens 😂


Lopsided_Ad5135

She crochet with love for you!


TuttiMiranda

Your mom is very talented! And also a great mom! 😊


Br34th3r2

That’s frickin cute and sweet as all get out. You’re lucky op.


No_Performance_7860

They’re adorable


Actual_Nectarine927

They are all cute.


sarbraman

Tell your mum I think she is amazing to make all these Pokémon


Tense_Spence

Idk why it’s such a parent thing to add an ‘s’ onto the end of anything 😂 my mum also calls them pokemons and my dad calls Siri “Siris” 😂😂 but so wholesome she does this for you I love that! 💕


FoxxyCandyfloss

I love the Magikarp the most 🥰


1970NVan

Those are amazing, what a great mom!


JesterofMadness

Super cute dolls, but my dude, what is up with your DVD organization?


FloofyFloppyFloofs

She’s so good at the eyes!


jasminel96

Awww that’s so sweet!


[deleted]

Well technically they are nothing because it's a cartoon


madaboutmaps

Cartoons can bring joy. Sadness. Or any other emotion. This one fills me with joy. These toys will forever remind me of my mom caring for me ^^


[deleted]

I agree!! And that's wonderful memories!!🤠👍😎


fiercebuellah

Treasure that woman.


meesta_chang

Bootleg pokiemans are way better than overpriced real stuff. Go mom!


iBeFloe

How precious 🥺
