After playing the new Pokemon game, I decided I really needed to crochet Wiglett, so here's my pattern and a YouTube tutorial to follow along!
Here is the written pattern:
Wiglett is made by crocheting the nose, body and soil, then sewing those parts together. Then Wiglett is glued into a pot along with some rocks.
Materials:
2 inch terracotta pot
Cardboard (cut into a small circle to cover the hole at the bottom of the pot)
Rocks/glass rocks
Scissors
Yarn needle
4mm crochet hook
Yarn in off-white, pink, and grey
Stuffing
6mm safety eyes
Nose:
R1: 8sc in MR (8)
R2: (3sc, inc)x2 (10)
R3: 1 sc in each st (10)
Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
Body:
R1: 6sc in MR (6)
R2: 6 inc (12)
R3: (1sc, inc)x6 (18)
R4: (2sc, inc)x6 (24)
R5-8: 1sc in each st (24)
R9-17: 12hdc, 12 slst (24)
*Adjust where the stitches are to keep the hdc in the back
R18: 1sc in each st (24)
Pause here to attach eyes and nose. Stuff the head.
R19: (2sc, dec)x6 (18)
R20-30: 1 sc in each st (18)
You can make your Wiglett as short or as long as you'd like. Make sure your final sc is in the back. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

R1: 6sc in MR (6)
R2: 6 inc (12)
R3: (1sc, inc)x6 (18)
R4: (2sc, inc)x6 (24)
R5: (3sc, inc)x6 (30)
R6: (4sc, inc)x6 (36)
R7-8: 1sc in each st (36)
Pause here to sew Wiglett to soil.
R9: (4sc, dec)x6 (30)
R10: (3sc, dec)x6 (24)
R11: (2sc, dec)x6 (18)
R12: (1sc, dec)x6 (12)
Pause here to stuff soil.

Fasten off.
Assembly:

Glue rocks to the pot, filing up the bottom half.
Glue Wiglett on top of the rocks.
