Chansey (Pokemon #113 Leveinard), pattern review
This week, I was asked to crochet a Chansey. It's future owner was given one plastic figurine of Chansey years ago and it became its lucky-charm. But when he discovered my crochet work, he also wanted one in yarn.
"Leveinard" for Chansey in French means word for word: the _ lucky, which is actually very strange : "le" is masculine, when Chansey is a female-only pokemon ?! I can't picture why they came up with this French name, hummm it's very weird... whereas the character is very sweet and so caring.
I found a pattern by Shelly Hedko and here is my 1st try.

Fold white and pink parts flat, sew them together with white part centered and slightly inside de pink purse, then sew to body (I did not stuff, I found that the folding is giving enough volume)
