Bodo the red panda

With this pattern you can make a very sturdy and playful red panda doll.

Size: 5 inch/ 13 cm sitting when made with Istex Lett Lopi and hook E / 3,5 mm.

The instructions are written in US crochet terms. The pattern contains a list of materials, tools and accessories needed. Brand and colour numbers of the needed yarn. A clear and colour coded description of how to crochet and assemble the animal. Pictures and illustrations to help getting everything right.

Materials For this crochet red panda you’ll need worsted weight yarn and an E US/3.5 mm crochet hook. You’ll need three colours of yarn, dark brown (1/4 of a 100 yard skein), rust (1/4) and and a small amount of white. For the eyes I’ve used 8 mm animal eyes, and I needle-felted a nose. Fibrefill as stuffing and pellets for a bit of extra weight in the body (I use Hama beads) and a pipe cleaner if you want the tail bent. Lopi colour numbers: dark brown 0052, rust 9427 and white 0051.
