The final Eeveelution (to date, that is) Sylveon, is here! Sylveon is the fairy-type Eeveelution and she has a LOT going on. With so many ribbons, bows, and color changes, making and assembling this pattern will test your patience. In a way, it’s almost fitting- to evolve Eevee into Sylveon in the game, you have to spend a lot of time with it to raise your friendship level. So, whether you’re playing the game or just crocheting this plushie for someone, you’re going to have to put in some real time and effort to get a Sylveon.
That being said, I recommend at least some experience with crocheting amigurumi before attempting to make Sylveon- particularly color changing, working in small rounds (rounds of 4), and joining separate pieces into one continuous round (ribbon ends.)
When completed, Sylveon fits in the palm of an adult sized hand. I hope you enjoy crocheting this little Sylveon!

Assembly of Crochet Sylveon
Assemble as shown in pictures- be sure to pin limbs in place before sewing to properly adjust position.
Head: Sew the ears to either side of the top of the head. The right ear has the two little pink hair tufts below it- sew these onto the head at the base of the right ear as well. Sew one of the bows in front of the left ear at the bottom. Sew two of the ribbons behind the left ear- joined together at the base of the ear.
Body: Sew the head on top of the 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. Just above the arms: Attach two of the ribbons, joined at their white ends, above the shoulders but below the head. Sew one of the bows on top of the area where the ribbons are joined. The tail is attached to the back of the center of the body.
The eye details were added by needle felting loose yarn ends . Alternatively, one can cut out and attach colored felt pieces. Note for the face: The cheeks don’t seem to properly line up exactly with the eyes/forehead. I did try to fix this, but was unsuccessful. When making the eyes, use the ‘forehead markings’ as more of a guide for eye placement rather than trying to line it up exactly with the position of the cheeks. Finally, make the nose and mouth by embroidery.
