Crochet Pikachu Pot

With craft fair season in full swing I've been adding a few more things to my stock. These character pots have been going down quite well so I've made a few more.

In order to stay on trend and 'down with the kids' I made a Pikachu one, since the Pikachu toy we made sold straight away.

In fact I made two! We've been selling these pots with socks in and with sweets in. You can guess which has been more popular with children.

I also had a blank white crochet pot that my Mum made so I thought it would be perfect as a snowman. Tis the season after all. So this guy is roughly based on Olaf; everyone's favourite snowman. Or would that be Frosty the Snowman? Or the snowman from The Snowman?

Crochet Pikachu

Last year the best sellers on mine and my Mum's craft stalls were crochet minions. We made and sold a lot.

With craft season quickly approaching we thought about what's popular this year. The obvious answer was Pokemon so my Mum found a Pikachu crochet pattern to try out.

Like the minions, my Mum crochets the whole thing and my contribution is to add the face.

We also had the idea to sell Pokeballs which my Mum makes by crocheting around a tennis ball. They're quite fun for throwing at your sister and yelling 'I choose you!'.
