…Eevee, oh, you’re my best friend in a world we must defend…

When I was younger, my first gaming system was a Gameboy Advance, and my first game was Pokemon, Crystal Version. One of the first tough decisions of my young life was choosing between evolving my Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon. [I chose Umbreon, because come on, he looked way cooler.]

When Pokemon Go came out a few weeks ago, I was a slow adopter, because it just seemed backwards from the Pokemon I was used to, only catching never training and becoming attached to the team I had carried around forever. But, here I am now, balancing my free time between catching Pokemon and making them.

So now, after a few weeks of fighting with the yarn, and having Eevee’s little smirky face watching me mess up his tail and collar over and over, he’s ready to be formally introduced.

Eevee is life-sized according to the Pokedex, at ~1 foot tall. His true measurements are:
From his toes to the top of head: 13”
From his toes to the tip of his ear: 17”
From his nose to his tail: 15”
From side to side: 5”

The pattern to make your own Eevee is available in my store.
