❤ Thread
❤ Optional: yarn needle to weave ends in.

You will need yellow, orange, white and black yarn.
Crochet the head halfway to experiment with placing the eyes. Make sure you make the mouth and place it before you put the backs on safety eyes! Stuff.
*The yarn I am using is tiny so I am making sure that the foundation area is small and tight before increasing in every stitch. Always remember to switch your hook to a F!

Cut out a square of black felt and place it over the panda's safety eyes. Cut the square into a circle based on the size. Always cut a little at a time just in case! Fold the circle and cut a tiny bit out to create a hole. Push the panda's safety eyes through and pop the back on to secure the piece. Sew on.
I don't think this is a project for a beginner because of all the pieces and sewing. I don't claim that my patterns are for any skill size so if you have any questions, comment or email!
