Amigurumi Pikachu (with pattern)

Two days ago I made myself a Pikachu. It was on the I-can-do-it-later list for a very long time and I feel like it's time to empty it so more awesome delayed stuff will be coming up.

For my pikachu I just work the pattern in reverse to attach the second tail without stopping the knitting to avoid sewing but that's more difficult to explain as I needed to attache it on the edge as I went.

Eyes (make 2)
With crochet number 10 and sewing thread.
1) in amigurumi ring 6sc.
2) inc. 2 in each around (12)
3) [1sc. inc. 2]x6 (18)
4) [2sc. inc. 2]x6 (24)
5) [3sc. inc. 2]x6 (30)
finish off
Make the little white circle somewhere near the edge.

I used those eyes because I couldn't find nice beats and I can crochet with very thin thread but you can always find beats somewhere if you want.
