I really like this pattern and it was easy to crochet until I got to the tail. I assumed it was crocheted flat until I got to the end where it said to fill and leave a tail for sewing. After trying unsuccessfully to figure out how it was crocheted to enable a person to fill, I gave up and just left it flat. Am I missing something?
Wow!!! I am really like this Pikachu. It was easy to crochet.
Thanks for your creation
