This is a PDF Crochet/Amigurumi Pattern for a cute raccoon who is a sanitation worker. He has six accessories:

  • orange safety vest (with yellow reflective stripes)
  • orange gloves
  • trash can
  • trash bag
  • ribbed beanie (with a no-bump top and seamless join)
  • banana peel (which is detachable) These accessories are removable so you can take them off and put them on in different ways.

Plushie may look a little complicated or intimidating but pattern is written with beginners in mind, with a lot of pictures and detailed instructions of every step. I’ve also included tips and tricks that you can use in other projects (like clean color change, invisible increase, invisible decrease) so this can be a great project/pattern to improve crochet skills.

For reference, I used 2.5 mm crochet hook and sport/dk weight yarn.

Finished size: 20cm/7.9” but it may vary depending on your yarn and hook size
