I've been putting off typing up this pattern because of all the weird little pieces. Hopefully it turns out not super confusing..
Eyes and dark blue head pattern are needle felted onto the surface of the work: simple tutorial-->

Note: The FO point should be approximately in the midline of the back of the head. Yes, it sort of matters because it should have subtle cheeks and a slight nose bulge. Knowing where you are will help you stuff "strategically".

Tail and Body:
**The tail and body are all one piece. You will need to crochet each piece of the tail fin separately and then combine and continue into the body.
Tail:
1. Magic ring: 4
2. [Sc, inc] around (6)
3. [Sc, inc] around (9)
4. [Sc 2, inc] around (12)
5. [Sc 3, inc] around (15)
6. [Sc 4, inc] around (18)
7-8. Sc around 2 times (18)
9. [Sc 4, dec] around (15)
10. [Sc 3, dec] around (12)
11. [Sc 2, dec] around (9)
12. FO
Only fasten off for the first fin. For the second fin, repeat steps 1-11 and then continue as follows:
13. Sc, dec, sc, dec
This next step will connect the first and second fin together on one side. Insert hook into a stitch on the first fin and continue as follows:
14. Sc, dec, sc, dec, sc, dec
One side of the tail should be connected now. Insert hook back into the stitch after the connection on the second tail and continue as follows:
15. Sc, dec
Both fins should now be connected and you should have a continuous round of 12 stitches.
16. Sc around (12)
17. [Sc 3, inc] around (15)
18. [Sc 4, inc] around (18)
19. [Sc 5, inc] around (21)
20-22. Sc around 3 times (21)
At this point, add as many stitches as necessary to make the beginning of your round at approximately the mid-line of the underside of the body.

3. FO
-------
Collar:
**Before doing this step, it might be wise to assemble at least Vaporeon's head and body so that you can determine how long to make the collar around the head.
**The number of stitches you will need will be a multiple of 2 plus 1 additional stitch (ie. 18+1, 20+1, 26+1). Chain and measure around the head to decide how many stitches to use. I ended up using about 27 stitches.
1. Ch 27 (or however many stitches you determined), turn
Start at second chain from the hook:
2. Sc 26 (your number -1)
3. [ Sl st, (dc, tc, dc all in next stitch)] repeat [] to the end
4. FO
-------
