Easy Panda bear knitting pattern
The panda bear is symmetrical, therefore, making this an easy pattern to follow if you are new to intarsia knitting.
You will need one 100g ball of King Cole Big Value Chunky, plus a small amount of black and white yarn for the panda.

There is a little finishing off by hand sewing for the face and paw/pad marks on the end of the legs, for this you will need a little grey and black yarn.

This pattern is knitted mostly all in one piece, starting with the back, and then working to the top of the front.
The small section at the back that forms the envelope opening, and the ribbed funnel are knitted separately. It is folded into place before sewing the side seams.
