Meet our signature Panda Bear. She’s cute, cuddly and very lovable.

This pattern supplies directions for making our Panda Bear. This Panda Bear is suitable for advanced beginner knitters and assumes an understanding of basic stitches and standard knitting terms. Our Panda Bear is knit flat and sewn together using a mattress stitch.

While traditionally panda bears are black and white, we encourage you to customize your panda however you like. Instead of black, use purple, with a lighter purple for the white. What about greens? Or even go crazy and use a stripped yarn for the black and leave everything traditional. Play, explore and figure out what you want – there are no wrong answers – just make sure your yarns are of similar weight so the panda maintains a consistent shape and size.

If you’re new to knitting stuffed friends, or are uncomfortable winging it without strict guidelines (that’s OK, we all need good directions sometimes to help us out) you will need approximately 40m of medium weight black yarn, and 30m of medium weight white yarn. With this yarn, use 4mm (US size 6) needles. You will also need a small amount of yarn for embroidering the eyes and nose, stuffing (we use ecofil or wool) and a sewing needle to sew your panda together. This will let you create a panda that’s approximately 17cm (6.5 inches) in length.

The beauty of knitting stuffed friends is that this pattern can be knit in any size yarn with accompanying needles. Generally we find using a size or two smaller needles than required by the yarn allows for the tightness needed when you’re stuffing your finished product.
