Professor Tangrowth

As soon as Pokopia came out in the spring, I couldn’t wait to make a crochet version of my BABY, Professor Tangrowth! This poor little guy just needs a huge hug!

Fortunately, I found this incredible free pattern on Instagram by pontofi.art!

This ended up taking me months, mostly because I kept sort of forgetting about it for weeks at a time, but I FINALLY finished my little lonely professor!!

In the original pattern, the stick is also crocheted, and the glasses, eyes, and CD/TM are printed out and glued on, but I wanted some slightly differet accessories. I got the glasses from a dollhouse store and cut off the arms, adding some washi paper for the old broken lenses. The CD/TM is some shiny cardstock with pen lines, and the stick is…a stick. I found the perfect shape and whittled it a bit to look JUST like Professor Tangrowth’s, but unfortunately after these photos were taken, my cat Paprika ate the top of the stick. ToT So at some point I’ll have to go find a new one and reattach it.

Here he is along with the official pokemoncenter.com version!

Anyone else making Pokopia crafts? I really want to make more, but I’m not sure what next… Hmmm…

So cute! Does the hair have wires to keep it curled? Or are the curls just natural, from the way it’s crocheted?

Thanks!

@endymion There are wires in the arms and the top vine that’s shaped like a question mark with the CD on it, but the others just curl on their own!

He came out so cute!

I haven’t played Pokopia yet! I really want to, but it’s only for the Switch 2. :sob:

Your professor is wonderful. He looks more tangly than the official version.
The stick was perfect, too bad your cat ate it. But hunting for sticks is fun, I’m sure you will find a good replacement.
