Meet Baby R - this sweet little crochet racoon is the perfect small size, but not too small. This stuffie works up super quick - less than three hours for me - and uses less than 1 of skein of the primary color and very small amounts of a few more colors. if you change the colors you can also use this pattern to make a red panda

Yarns: Baby R was crocheted with Big Twist Classic in Gray and White with a scrap of I Love This Yarn in Black. note: Big Twist Classic yarn is labeled a #5 acrylic yarn, but my experience with this yarn is that it works up like a small #4. I treat this brand just as I would any number 4 yarn that I use like RHSS or Caron for amigurumi making. This brand is sold by JoAnn’s Craft Store and has a lovely sheen to it if you have never used it. I do not recommend this yarn for beginners because it is a bit different as far as the texture goes. I have also used the smallest scrap of slightly darker gray to do the ear tips and make eye brows and some hair between the eye patches.
-Hook: I used a G/4mm hook for most of this pattern. I will make any notes to changes on this in the pattern.
-Safety Eyes (or yarn to embroider if you choose) and needle to embroider face. I have used larger 18mm eyes for this pattern, but they are clear around the edges so with the black eye patches you can adjust the size of these if you don’t have ones this large.
-Stuffing. I have used Poly-Fill brand stuffing, but feel free to use what you prefer.

This toy worked up for me to be 14” from the top of the ear to foot. This is a modification to my Scrappy the Dinosaur pattern. If you like this pattern, I have several new baby animals listed.

Baby R is a written out pattern with photos and tutorials and a good beginner crochet pattern. It is a 7-page downloadable pdf. Check back with me often because I have a bunch of new baby animals on their way.

If you have amigurumi knowledge and know how to work in the round - ex. 6,12,18,24 etc with increases and decreases you won’t have any trouble.

I am here all to help and support you in any way I can after you download my pattern.
