Meet Poe the Little Panda! Poe is a collaboration project with the very talented Sandra from @fourseasonsfox. She drew an adorable panda illustration and I crocheted a new amigurumi friend based on it. Poe is a very joyful little panda, he loves to smile and make others smile too, and most of all, he really loves to snack on bamboo leaves.

The pattern is written in U.S. terminology. The main part of this project is worked in rounds so you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the end of each round. There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep it tight and even throughout each piece. Poe the Little Panda measures approx. 11cm (4in), when using the same yarn and tools indicated below. If you use a different yarn fiber you might need to adapt the size of the eyes.
