Meet Pablo the pancake panda. Pablo is a small panda who loves nights in with a mug of steaming hot chocolate and a box set.

Pablo is knitted in the round using the magic loop method, although he wouldn’t mind being knitted on double points if that’s your thing. Pablo is knitted mainly as one piece and stuffed as you go. He is a quick knit that could be with you by tea time.

This pattern is designed to limit the amount of finishing needed, although some sewing will be needed to add the tail and the ears. This pattern assumes that the knitter knows how to use the magic loop method and perform a Kitchener graft.

There is a very good tutorial for Kitchener stitch on Knitty.

I cannot remember where I learnt to use the magic loop technique but the tutorial on Dummies looks very good.
