This is a pattern for a small raccoon that’s ready for lots of summer fun. The raccoon is about 6 to 7 inches high when knitted in worsted weight yarn. The pattern also includes instructions for the swim trunks, halter top, and a barbecue apron. Gauge and yarn weight don’t really matter as long as you get a dense fabric so that the stuffing doesn’t show through. Thicker yarn will give you a larger raccoon and thinner yarn will yield a smaller raccoon. I’ve included lots of pictures to make the pattern easier to follow. I hope you will have fun knitting this raccoon.
