20-Minute Panda Bear

Free pattern page & video tutorial: https://www.sweetsofties.com/2024/02/20-minute-panda-bear.html

The 20-minute Panda Bear is a no-sew amigurumi pattern that works up very fast! This easy and beginner friendly design can be crocheted with different yarn weights and fibers to create different results, such as super bulky blanket or chenille yarn for a plush velvet look or a medium weight yarn in acrylic or cotton for an even smaller version. This panda can easily be customized to be a teddy bear by using different yarn colors. Turn it into a keychain by sewing a keyring to the top of its head. It’s the perfect last-minute present to whip up for class Valentine’s Day gifts, holiday gifts, or Christmas stocking stuffers. It’s also suitable as a market prep product for craft fairs since it’s so fast and easy to make. A perfect “claw machine” amigurumi!

The PDF pattern includes many progress photos as part of a detailed photo tutorial to help guide you through the doll-making process.
