Let’s get started!
✨ What You’ll Need:
The original >> Pink Space Cat Snuggler << pattern (be sure to check out squish.stitch and show some love for this awesome base pattern!)
This Espeon-style modification add-on that includes all the changes I made to create the perfect Pokémon-inspired plushie, such as:
Color swaps for Espeon’s signature purple
Tail and ear adjustments for that iconic Eeveelution look
Instructions to add the glowing gem that extra shine!
This is more of an “evolution pack” than a complete pattern, so you’ll need the original pattern for the base. It’s the perfect way to upgrade your space cat into a majestic Espeon stuffy.
