Meet our Red Panda Cub. He’s cute, cuddly and totally adorable. This pattern supplies directions for making our Red Panda Cub.

This Red Panda Cub is suitable for intermediate knitters and assumes an understanding of basic stitches,short rows and standard knitting terms. Our Red Panda Cub is knit flat and sewn together using a mattress stitch.

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 30 m of medium weight red yarn, 62 m of medium weight dark brown yarn and 12 m of medium weight cream yarn. With this yarn, use 4 mm (US size 6) needles. You will also need a small amount of black yarn to embroider the face, stuffing (we use ecofil or wool) and a tapestry needle to sew your red panda together. This will let you create a Red Panda Cub that’s approximately 15 cm (6 inches) high.

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.

Keep in touch! We’d love to hear from you.
