This cute red panda is small but mighty!
Designed to be simple, quick to make and the best thing: no sewing! (Ok, so there’s a bit of sewing but only the ears, snout and face patches.)
This amigurumi is made working in continuous rounds. You also need to know the basic stitches and how to increase and decrease. Also basic sewing required but I promise only a little bit :)

The finished item is 3.5” tall using light worsted yarn and a 3mm hook.
If you wish to make it bigger just use a thicker yarn and a bigger hook.
