I hope you enjoy this free crochet pokemon pattern of Oshawott. This cute little otter is ready to make a splash! When finished, Oshawott is approximately 4 inches tall and 2 inches wide (palm sized!) He will be a great addition to your team or a great gift for another Pokemon trainer.
And once you’re done, why not make Oshawott the Otter Reindeer, too?

Assembly Notes
The head, body, and arms are crocheted in the round and filled with stuffing. For the ears and nose stuffing is optional given the small size of the finished product – for mine I was able to ‘stuff’ them with just the tail end of the yarn. The feet and tail are crocheted ‘in the round’ but not filled with stuffing and pressed flat. Careful with the positioning of the tail and feet- attach them so they balance each other.
Enjoy Oshawott, the water starter from Pokemon Black and White!
