hey look i made a twink
Introduced in the 9th generation of Pokemon, Meowscarada is the latest addition to a growing collection of pure furbait from Nintendo. Some mons in gens past have, of course, been sexy (the classic Gardevoir for example), but more recently it seems like they must be doing this shit on purpose. Incineroar cannot be explained otherwise, nor can Inteleon's yaoi hands. That's intentional, they know what they're doing.
The pattern for this one, I developed pretty much fully on my own. I started with the Gallimimus leg pattern from a amigurumi dinosaur book I got at a charity shop last year, but even that had to be thoroughly changed, from adding the paw, to lengthening everything, and all of it from the colour change up is fully original. And all of it has been helpfully typed up for you below! Have fun, sew up any gaps in the leg joints at the end if needed.

Flower Ruff
Ideally, slide this piece over the neck before attaching the head. It can be done after the head is attached, but will take some wrangling.
