Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be: Chingling.
Chingling is literally a Jingle Bell. It is a baby pokemon, the precursor to Chimecho. Mine doesn’t ring, but I thought it would be cool if someone added a jingle bell inside before closing -then you’d have an actual ringing Chingling! Make one and tag me so I can see! (And hear!) I hope you enjoy this free pattern.

Assembly of Crochet Chingling
Assemble as shown in pictures- be sure to pin limbs in place before sewing to properly adjust position. Chingling has a hard time sitting on it’s own balanced upright because it is a ball.
Scarf: attach the scarf ends to R1 of the scarf. The scarf ends are red on either side, with the white piece in the middle. Sew the open end of the scarf to the sides of the bell cap.
Head/Body- sew the Bell cap onto the top of the head. Attach the arms to either side of the body, approximately midway down, leaving a space to add the face. Attach the feet to either sides of the body below the arms/at the bottom of the body.
Facial details were added by needle felting loose yarn ends .
