Raikou, along with Entei and Suicune, have been on a personal “To Do” list for a long time. I completed the patterns for Entei and Suicune about a year ago. I finally decided that it was about time I get to Raikou. This pattern includes the color lists for both Raikou and Shiny Raikou.

MATERIALS:
Worsted Weight Yarn (Shiny alternative in parenthesis): Yellow (pumpkin), orchid (yellow), ice blue (gray), off white, black, white, charcoal, and red.
