One of the first patterns that I designed and published on this blog was (Jumbo) Umbreon – all the way back in 2017! Three years have gone by and it’s now 2020 and the middle of a global coronavirus pandemic.
With all of my extra time at home ‘social distancing,’ I have decided to attempt to design the entire Eeveelutions set! Since my original Umbreon is a bit too large compared to the rest of this set, I’ve decided to rework Umbreon into a mini version as well. So here it is- Mini Umbreon!
When completed, Umbreon fits in the palm of an adult sized hand. I hope you enjoy crocheting this little Umbreon!

Assembly of Crochet Mini Umbreon
Assemble as shown in pictures- be sure to pin limbs in place before sewing to properly adjust position.
Head: Attach the ears to either side of the head- angled slightly back.
Body: The ‘bumps’ on the bottom of the body piece are meant to be thighs. Sew the feet over the bumps angling slightly outward. Attach the arms to the body, placing in between the feet, and so that the tips of the arms just touch the ground, and the tops of the arms are on either side of the front of the body as shoulders. The tail is sewn to the back of the body. Finally, the head is attached to the top of the body- again- pin in place first.
The yellow rings (forehead, and circles over shoulders and thighs) and eyes were added by needle felting loose yarn ends . Alternatively, one can cut out and attach colored felt pieces.
