Cute as a button and perfectly pocket-sized, little Lina is sure to steal your heart! The puffy tail and perky ears give this little red panda plenty of personality!

Supplies

  • Yarn in Dark Orange, Black, White, and Light Brown
  • US F/4 crochet hook (3.75mm)
  • Stitch marker
  • Stuffing
  • Two 8mm safety eyes
  • One black 5mm safety eye
  • Tapestry needle
  • Scrap of white felt
  • Sewing needle
  • Thread in black or white

Difficulty: Intermediate/Advanced

All basic stitches (sc, dec, ch, etc.) Requires basic sewing skills and supplies for felt inner ears. Lots of color changing.

Size

About 4 ½ inches long
(I crochet quite tightly, so you may need a smaller hook if your stitches tend to be looser to make sure the stuffing doesn’t show.)

Color Change Tip

When about to change to the next color, make the switch on the final yarn-over of the previous color. It makes for a neater transition.
