Here`s a free amigurumi pattern of a little panda bear. He is so fun. Kind of reminds me of a balloon. Perhaps he has eaten too much 🙂 I used quite thin yarn so he turned out small, but if you use a thicker yarn he won`t be that tiny at all. Size: 13 cm / 5 inches
Supplies:
2 colors of sport (5 ply) weight cotton – I used Drops Safran (100% Egyptian cotton; 50 g / 160 m)
crochet hook 2.5 mm
polyester fiberfill
black safety eyes (Ø 8 mm)
black felt
black embroidery thread for the nose
darning and embroidery needles
Abbreviations:
ch – chain,
sc – single crochet,
st(s) – stitch(es),
rep – repeat
