FREE PATTERN Amigurumi Red Panda

 Amigurumi Red Panda

When people hear the name of "red panda", they may think it's some animal related to giant panda. When people see red panda, they may think it's a raccoon, but with different color.
It has been previously placed in the raccoon and bear families, but the results phylogenetic analysis provide strong support for its taxonomic classification in its own family (wiki).

I always love bear, and the furry animals. But I'm really not good at creating amigurumi animals. My first try was a red panda, which was made in November 2013. At that time, I haven't been crochet too long, so I was not very satisfied with it, but still it looks cute.
So I write this pattern down, and share you here for free.

Let's begin!
