I reccomend This yarn is a 100% cotton and very nice to work with! With this yarn, I use a 2,5 mm hook (or a B-1 or C-2 should work too!). If Rainbow cotton is sold out, I can also recommend Friends cotton from Hobbii as a direct substitute.
1 x yellow (54)
A bit of black for ears, eyes and facial detail
A bit of red and white for facedetails
a bit of an orange color for the base of the tail
With the recommended yarn the Pikachu is about 12 cm or 4,5 inches tall.

Row 2. sc in 2nd st, 2 sc, ch 1, turn

Row 8. 5 sc, fasten off.
Make 2 identical pieces.
Make 2 pieces and put them together.
Connect orange yarn at the beginning of the tail and slst around the tail going through both pieces at once.
Change yarn to yellow when needed and back to orange again when needed.
In the corners of the tail highlighted with arrows (those pointing outwards), put 2 sc instead of a slst.
This will emphasize the shape of the tail.
Pumpkin hat
If you want, you can add a pumpkin head/ hat to pikachu!
Assemble the pikachu first for best results.
The pumpkin is worked in rows and sinched at the top in the end.
Chain 16 with orange and repeat the following 2 rows.
Row 1. 2 slst, 4 sc, 8 hdc, 2 sc, ch 1, turn
Row 2. 2 sc, 8 hdc, 4 sc, 2 slst, turn
Adding in holes for the ears.
Measure your piece on pikachus head. The chain start is at back of his head.
When you reach the first ear, mark the 3 stitches that fit the size of the ear.
On your next row, instead of doing the st in the pattern, skip the 3 marked stitches and chain 3.
On the following row, continue as normal using the chains. Repeat on 2nd ear.
Slst or sew the back shut and sinch the top with yarn. Fasten off.
