Red Panda, Raccoon and Fox Amigurumi Crochet Kit by Wizardi F07N8-M188

A red panda with a ringed tail, a grey masked raccoon and a little orange fox stand together like a woodland gang. It is a complete amigurumi crochet kit for beginners: you crochet the pieces, stuff them and stitch them together into a little keepsake you made yourself.

The red panda was described by scientists decades before the giant panda, and together with a masked raccoon and a fox this trio gathers the cleverest faces of the forest. Every amigurumi starts with a magic ring and a spiral of single crochet stitches; once you know those two things you can make almost any shape.

Why this kit: a beginner-friendly pattern built from basic stitches worked in the round; practice yarn to warm up on before you start the real piece; and video tutorials plus an illustrated brochure, so you can follow along step by step.

Kit includes: yarn in the colors of the design, practice yarn, a crochet hook, a yarn needle, stitch markers, fiberfill, safety eyes, a basic manual and step-by-step crocheting instructions. Video tutorials are available to follow along. Not included: scissors.

Start with the video tutorials and practice the basic stitches on the practice yarn, then follow the pattern one piece at a time: crochet each part in rounds, mark the start of every round with a stitch marker, stuff it with fiberfill and sew the parts together with the yarn needle. The finished pieces are decorations for adults and teens, not toys for young children, as safety eyes and small parts can be a choking hazard.

Finished size: about 2.8 x 5.3 in (7 x 13.5 cm) each. It is a natural fit for a woodland-themed shelf, a desk or a bookshelf, and makes a thoughtful gift for an animal lover or a teen.
