These two patterns are so similar that I included them together in one pattern! Just follow the instructions for your favorite or make them both!

Materials and Supplies
Worsted weight yarn in desired color(s) for project
For the red panda, I went with warm brown, black, and white, but you can also use a red or substitute another darker brown for some of the black. Feel free to experiment and find colors that work well together!
For the raccoon I used light gray-brown (‘oatmeal’), black, and white, but you can try other shades of gray like darker gray as the main color and lighter gray as a substitute for white, etc.
Black safety eyes – 10 mm
Size F crochet hook
Yarn needle
Pins (optional, but recommended for positioning the parts before attaching)
