022_001_CrochetedGenVIIIStarters

Gotta catch ’em all! No collection can be complete without these Crocheted Gen VII Starters, featuring creatures from the upcoming Pokémon Sword & Shield video games.

It’s time for a new Pokémon adventure in the Galar Region! But why choose only one starter to be your partner when you can have all three? Scorbunny, Sobble and Grookey are made of super soft acrylic yarn and are the perfect palm-sized companions for your Pokémon journey. These items are made with unique patterns designed by Kuebiko Krafts herself, so there are none quite like them in the world and you’re sure to be the envy of your rivals. Now go forth and be the best there ever was!

Donate $8.07 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this donation drive until 2:45pm PST.
