This realistic red panda attracts by its cute face, delicate view and lovely fluffy tail.

The pattern requires advanced crocheting and basic sewing skills. It includes useful illustrations and photos that help you understand how to make some elements.

Yarn
Black acrylic+woolen yarn, 100 g / 500 m. E.g. YarnArt Angora Star, 80% acrylic, 20% wool, color 585.
Orange acrylic+woolen yarn, 100 g / 550 m. E.g. Alize Angora Gold, 80% acrylic, 20% wool, color 234.
For the tail: beige acrylic+woolen yarn. The thickness of the yarn is not important because you are not going to use it for crocheting but cut pieces to sew them onto the tail to make it fluffy, and you can join or divide the threads easily. I used the following yarn and divided the thread into two: Kartopu Alpaca Polo, 60% acrylic, 20% wool, 20% alpaca, 100 g / 120 m, color K870.
White yarn. You may use one type of white yarn but make sure it has the right thickness (50 g / 240 m) for the nose and ears to be the right size and make sure it contains wool for the embroidery on the face and fur in the ears to be fluffy. I used two types of white yarn:
1) for crocheting the nose and ears: Coco Vita Cotton, 100% cotton, 50 g / 240 m, color 3851 (the thickness of the yarn is important, as it affects the size of the elements, but you may choose other materials).
2) for the embroidery on the face and fur in the ears: Alize Lana Gold, 51% acrylic, 49% wool, 100 g / 240 m, color 55 (the thickness of the yarn is not important, since it is not used for crocheting and, if necessary, you can easily divide or join the threads, while the presence of wool in the composition is important).
