★ SKILL LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

★ MATERIALS AND TOOLS :

  • Yarn: I used «Slonim» yarn (wool/acrylic, 50g ~ 200m, Belarus, 38sс = 4 inches), white and black colors. For bamboo I used floss, green, black and yellow colors.
  • Hook №1.5 (1.5mm) for panda yarn, hook №0.9 (0.9mm) for bamboo yarn
  • Cotter pins and joint disks: T-head cotter pin (1.6x16mm - 3pcs, for legs and head), discs for legs (10mm - 4pcs), disks for head (10mm for insertion into the body and 12mm for insertion into the head); on such a small size you can do without washers.
  • Wire 0.7mm thick. For the arms 1pc ~12cm long. I advise you to use steel wire (for example, floral wire, this wire is stiffer and holds its shape better).
  • Fiberfill (to stuff).
  • Eyes 6mm, you can use safety eyes or glue eyes.
  • For a bamboo branch you need a piece of empty pen rod (thick, from a gel pen, for example), 6cm long.
  • Ring with chain (keychain mount).
  • Strong thread for sculpting muzzle, needle, safety pins, scissors, adhesive tape, glue (Moment Crystal), thin stick (for the convenience of stuffing small parts).

★ SKILLS REQUIRED:

You must have basic crochet skills - this pattern is not the easiest so please ask me if you will have some questions or difficulties.
