Introduction

Welcome to part 6 of the Train and Animal Series! In this tutorial, I will show you how to crochet a cute panda. Follow along as we create this adorable amigurumi using simple stitches and basic materials. So grab your crochet hook and let's get started!

Materials Needed

To crochet the panda, you will need the following materials:

• Small amount of white and black cotton or wool
• 4 ply crochet cotton
• Crochet hook
• Sewing or darning needle
• Scissors
• Optional: Black thread or fabric paint for nose and mouth

Crocheting the Head

To begin the panda, we will start with the head. Create a magic loop and then work 14 double crochet stitches into the circle. Join the round and continue working double crochet stitches, increasing the stitches in each round until the head is complete.

Creating the Muzzle

Next, we will crochet the muzzle of the panda. Starting with a magic loop, work 14 double crochet stitches into the circle. Join the round with slip stitch to close the muzzle.

Making the Ears

The panda's ears are crocheted separately. To create the ears, join the black yarn to any stitch on the head and work a combination of double crochet, treble crochet, and half double crochet stitches. Repeat the process for the second ear, skipping 6 stitches before joining the black yarn.

Adding Face Markings

To give the panda its distinctive markings, we will crochet two circular face markings. Using a magic loop, work a combination of double crochet, single crochet, and half double crochet stitches to create the markings. Repeat the process for the second marking.

Crafting the Paws

To make the panda's paws, use black yarn to crochet a cluster of treble crochet stitches. This will create a paw-like shape. Repeat the process to create the second paw.

Assembling the Panda

Now that all the individual pieces are complete, it's time to assemble the panda. Sew the nose and mouth onto the muzzle using sewing cotton, creating a triangular shape for the nose and a line for the mouth. Sew the face markings onto the head, leaving a small gap between them. Finally, attach the muzzle onto the head.

Attaching the Paws

The final step is to attach the paws to the panda. When joining the panda to the train, the paws will be attached to the sides. Sew them on securely to ensure they stay in place.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully crocheted a cute panda. This adorable amigurumi will make a perfect addition to your train and animal series. Don't forget to check out my website, Pinterest, and Instagram accounts for more patterns and inspiration. Happy crocheting!
