This is Jigglypuff! This pattern was created by Linda Potts. I changed up the eyes a tiny bit to make her look more anime-like. Hope you all enjoy!

I stuff my amigurumi til they are pretty firm. After awhile they soften up, but the amigurumi won't deflate.

Well, best I can say to have the crocheted part nice and even besides practice, practice, practice is:

1. Use the invisible decrease (when you decrease only use the front loops). It makes your decreases look less visible.

2. Don't be afraid to over stuff. You can always use a smaller hook to take stuffing out, but you can't put more in. Stuffing right REALLY helps with shape.

3. stagger your increases and decreases. For example a pattern will read:
row 1: *sc, dec*
row 2: *2 sc, dec*
row 3: *3 sc, dec*
row 4: *4 sc, dec*

You should actually crochet this way:
row 1: *sc, dec*
row 2: *dec, 2 sc*
row 3: *3 sc, dec*
row 4: *dec, 4 sc*

by doing this your work will look smoother because the extra "bump" from your decreases won't bunch together. Same goes for increases.
