This is a PDF pattern that will guide you through making an amigurumi red panda plushie. You’ll learn to make a magic ring, double crochet and change yarn colour in the process. The pattern includes advice on resizing the product.

Rufus is an adorable stuffed red panda, and makes a great project for an enthusiastic beginner. The pattern is suitable for beginners, as well as more advanced crocheters. It assumes you know how to chain and single crochet already.

The pattern uses American crochet notation, but includes brief advice on the conversion to UK notation. It also includes advice on picking colours and using different yarns.

You’ll require several different coloured yarns (red, lighter red/orange, black, white and a colour of your choice for the scarf), a 4.00mm crochet hook and an embroidery needle.

Note that this pattern uses photographs of a panda made in double knitting yarn so that the steps taken are clear - it’s hard to see what’s being done with fluffy yarn. However, it is recommended that you use more “interesting” yarn when creating this (be adventurous!)
