Baby Espeon (with pattern)

Took a break from my contest entry to make.. Espeon!  I didn't type up a pattern for her because she's basically just Eevee with a different tail and extra ear pieces.  (Pattern for Eevee here: ).  All details are needle felted and Espeon's tail has a small amount of wire for some poseability.


And of course, I had to take a photo of Umbreon and Espeon together:   Hope you like them, and happy Easter everyone!  Wishing you much chocolate, eggs, and bunnies in your life on this beautiful Sunday!

Additional Ear Pieces:

**Note:  There are 2 steps to making each ear piece.  Each of the corners are made separately and combined to form a single piece.

Step 1: (First, smaller piece)
1.  Magic ring: 4
2.  [Sc, inc] around (6)
3.  Sc around (6)
4.  FO

Step 2: (Second, larger piece)
1.  Magic ring: 4
2.  [Sc, inc] around (6)
3.  [Sc 2, inc] around (8)
4.  [Sc 3, inc] around (10)
5-7.  Sc around 3 times (10)
Do not fasten off yet.

Combining the pieces: (continuation of step 2)
Insert hook into a stitch on the first piece made.
8.  Sc 2, dec, sc 2
Insert hook back to the second piece in the stitch right next to where the first junction between the two pieces is.
9.  Sc 4, dec, sc 3
The pieces should now be combined and you should have a total of 14 stitches.
10.  Dec, sc 4, dec, sc 6 (12)
11.  Sc around (12)
12.  FO

-------

Tail:
**Note: I decided to put some thing wire into the tail for flexibility.  This is entirely optional.  I don't know what gauge wire I used, sorry!

**Tail is also made in a similar fashion to the ear pieces to create that slingshot shape.

Step 1: (First piece)
1.  Magic ring: 6
2-7.  Sc around 6 times (6)
8.  FO

Step 2: (Second piece/rest of the tail)
1.  Magic ring: 6
2-7.  Sc around 6 times (6)
8.  Sc 4, dec (5)
Insert hook into stitch on piece #1.
9. Sc 4, dec
Insert hook back to piece #2 in the stitch following the first junction you made.  This will complete the combination of the two pieces.  You should now have a total of 10 stitches.
10-26. Sc around 17 times <--more or less depending on how long/short you want the tail to be (10)

**Eyes and spot on the head are needle felted.
