I’m beyond excited to share a free pattern for a little amigurumi panda bear that is cuter than cute! Well, while a crocheted panda bear may be by definition adorable, this one is astonishingly so!

This is a fabulous pattern by designer Erica of 5 Little Monsters, and it really showcases the versatility and charm of amigurumi techniques.

This amigurumi panda is constructed by crocheting several separate parts and stitching them together to create a charming finished plush toy. The head and body are worked as one continuous piece, which really gives the panda a smooth, seamless appearance. The smaller parts—the round eye patches, perky ears, little muzzle, and sturdy arms and legs—are crocheted individually and sewn onto the main body. These extra pieces give the panda its iconic black-and-white markings and, best of all, is unique personality. That’s the beauty of the crocheted amigurumi panda — it will always be one of a kind, not mass produced! — and a perfect gift for someone, perhaps even yourself!

It’s also a relatively quick make, so you’ll have your panda friend ready in no time!
