PATTERN NOTES - must-read...
 Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.
 Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds.
 There is no need to sl st and/or ch when going to the next round unless stated to do so.
 When a round or row mentions “around/across,” you will be working that whole sequence from that round/row around the entire piece. (EX: sc in next st, 2sc in next st, around = sc, inc, sc, inc,…)

SPECIAL STITCHES
Bobble Stitch (3dc bobble st) - Y/O hook, insert hook into stitch & pull up a loop. Y/O hook & pull through 2 loops on hook; 2 loops remaining. Y/O hook, insert hook in the same stitch & pull up a loop. Y/O hook & pull through 2 loops on hook; 3 loops remaining. Y/O hook, insert hook in the same stitch & pull up a loop. Y/O hook & pull through 2 loops on hook; 4 loops remaining. Y/O hook & pull through all 4 loops on the hook.
Invisible join - this VIDEO explains how to do this technique.
Single crochet 3 stitches together (sc3tog) - is a decrease over 3 stitches. Insert yarn thru 1st st, y/o pull thru, insert thru 2nd st, y/o pull thru, insert thru 3rd st, y/o pull thru, & y/o pull thru all 4 loops on hook.

ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces before sewing them to ensure you have them in the position you like best before sewing.
     EARS...sew them between rounds 10 and 11. Leave 3 stitches of space between the eye and each ear.

     HAIR...front, place it in round 18, and in the back of the head, place it 1 stitch above the start of the shirt. Sew it in place.

     PIGTAILS...sew the pigtails directly behind the ears.
     HAIR STRANDS...place the longer strand diagonally over the right eye. The shorter strand goes to the left of the longer strand.
     ARMS...place them on each side of the body on round 3 (that's the first round of the violet).
     BACKPACK...find the center of the back and sew it in place.
Using white felt, cut out a circle and glue it onto the backpack.
     MOUTH...using burgundy embroidery floss, embroider the mouth between rounds 7 and 8. I made the mouth 9 stitches wide.
     BLUSH...the possibilities are endless. You can use makeup blush, felt, or embroidery floss. I chose blush.
     SHIRT DETAILS...using white felt, cut out a rectangle shape for the front center of the shirt as shown in the image. 
Continuing with the white felt, make a pokeball and sew on the right bottom side of the shirt. 
     HAT...stuff lightly, then sew it to the top of the head.
     For the Team Rocket outfit, cut an "R" and a small rectangle from red felt. Place the "R" in the center of the body and the rectangle on the right-hand corner of the white section of the body.
