Party Panda (free corchet pattern)

 Hello,

A while ago I posted a pattern for Autumn doll

And then a couple of weeks ago (well about a month or so) I decided to modify the pattern to make a panda. I made a few alterations to the amount of rows and made ears, nose and the eyes. I really love how this little Panda turned out.

So here is my Party Panda pattern

 You need

I used one skein of natural white and black Svarta Fåret's Tilda

2,5mm crochet hook

Stuffing

Tapestry needle

Safety eyes

Scraps of nice colored yarns to make the party hat and bow

Head (make 1 with white colour yarn)

Ch2, 6sc to 2nd ch from the hook.

1)     2sc in each sc

2)     [2sc, 1sc] repeat to end

3)     [2sc, 1sc x2] repeat to end

4)     [2sc, 1sc x3] repeat to end.

5)     [2sc, 1sc x4] repeat to end

6)     [2sc, 1sc x5] repeat to end

7)    [2sc, 1sc x6] repeat to end.

8)     [2sc, 1sc x8] repeat to end.

9)     Sc around

10)  [2sc, 1sc x9] repeat to end.

11)  Sc around

Attach safety eyes before stuffing, stuff the head. Depending on the purpose for the toy you can use some sort of pipe cleaner inside the body to hold the head better, but if you are making a toy for a child don’t put anything sharp inside the body.

Bow

I knitted the bow with size 2,5mm knitting needles. I casted on 10sts and then knitted: beginning with the purl row in st-st 13 rows. Folded the bow in half, sewed all seams and rolled the remaining yarn around in the middle area of the bow to give it the bow shape. Then I attached it to the neck.

 The pattern isn't tested, so please tell me if you find any errors. And sorry for the layot of the pattern, the blogger just doesn't do what I want to the numbering of the rows...
