(12 sc) Slp st to next sc FO leaving long tail. Stuff and sew onto panda body Tail With black/contrast color Ch 2 1) 5 sc in 2nd ch from hook 2) 2 sc in each sc around. (10 sc) 3-) sc in each sc around Slp st to next sc FO leaving long tail. Fold tail flat, and curve slightly in. Sew tail to rump hump. J Eye patches are done in felt. You may need to experiment with different sizes of pieces to figure out what looks good. I cut the felt to look like ovals. Black being the biggest oval, white being a bit smaller. The actual eye can be made from felt, or use a button if preferred. Keep in mind, it maybe a bit difficult to sew the eye on, going through the glue from the eye patches. Note about panda: The panda is made in pieces, and assembled to look like he is laying flat on the ground. The body is sewn directly to the back side of the head. Make sure to line up so the head, body, arms/legs all sit on the flat surface. The easiest way to stuff the arms and legs… start with a long tail before chaining 2. Use this tail to stuff inside the arms/legs. This way, white stuffing doesn’t show through. You may find it helpful (I do) to pin on body parts before sewing or gluing. This way you can get the placement to your satisfaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sockmad Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I have a friend that is absolutely wild for pandas. She bases her cell phone purchases on whether or not it will fit the panda case she has for her cell phone! So thanks for the pattern I printed it for C and will be giving it to either her or one of my other friends that see her more either way she will get this pattern!
