Someone Is Crocheting REAL Pokémon Toys And Leaving Them At PokeStops For Others To Find
If you live in Texas and you like Pokémon Go then you might be in for a nice surprise the next time you visit your local PokeStop, because somebody is crocheting tiny Pokémon characters and leaving them for trainers to find while out trying to catch ’em all.
The “self taught and generally crafty person” behind them is a mum of two who goes by the name of Knotty Nicole. She refers to herself as an “avid gamer, foodie, and crafty geek” and her adorable crocheted creations are just as collectible as their virtual counterparts. They’re part of a project she calls #CrochetGo and so far she’s made everything from Tangelas to Magicarps, Oddishes to Jiggly Puffs. She’s even made her designs available for free online, so if you don’t live in Texas then don’t worry because you can still crochet ’em all.

IMO it's not "someone", it's the producer of such toys. Wonder if they got the license, though.
This will be why the patterns are not for sale, rather she's giving them away for free. This avoids the issue of her profiting from a licensed brand. I've heard of other people getting cease and desist letters from companies (particularly Disney) for selling patterns for licensed characters.

Okay, Texas is a BIG STATE! Is she only hiding these in her locale? Because my boys would LOVE to find one of her creations!
Nichole rocks!!! I've seen her work on different facebook pages, I love her patterns!!!
It's the only way I'll ever get a Pikachu! What a super idea -- so clever and so much fun!
Hey, there's only one blanket in this house that's not been crocheted by me... I'd love to give them a whirl... Thanks for the great post & ideas!
As opposed to crocheting FAKE Pokemon toys? :p Absolutely beautiful though. I wouldn't be able to part with something so lovely!
By the way, which pokemon will be caught by you today?Haha, I tested that I will catch Eevee. Love it. So funny

Same, I can't crochet, but I'd love a crochet Pikachu!!
