Cut eyes out of felt and sew or glue to face. Now go scare someone with him.

While I'm not fortunate enough to own Pokemon or Duskull (those lucky ducks at Nintendo do), this pattern is my brain child. Please don't sell anything made from it (although if it's for charity it's cool), and give credit where it's due if you make him.

Attack mask, beak and crown to head (it’s easiest to do it in that order, trust me), then attach head to body. Sew bibs, cape, wings and feet (again, that order is easiest) in place. Cut eyes and spots for the belly from felt, and there you have it.
