I found the cutest baby sweater pattern for a shower gift last month. The original idea was to make something cute, simple, and gender neutral. The problem, is that Cascade 220 Superwash has so many shades of green. That’s what I’m going to blame this on. And these two shades of green wanted to be a muted Bulbasaur. After all, what’s more appropriate for a baby than a starter Pokemon?

If you’d like your own little starter Pokemon to slap on something, here’s the chart below. I stitched on the face and spots after the face. You can also skip that step for a more pared-down look.
