The Panda Bear Project

My Daughter in law Loves Panda Bears.

My son asked me to make her one. I looked for crochet patterns for pandas on line but they were all small.  I wanted to make her a big panda. Well, you know hat this means...I was going to design a pattern.  I mean how hard can this be. It is a bear, a black and white bear, it is not like I had to make zebra stripes or polka dots! I knew I could do this.

I started with white yarn at the bottom. I wanted it flat so it would sit,

 then working my way up, decreasing .

Then I switched to Black yarn and stitched a nice thick stripe,

 I decided to decrease or shape the top,

then switched back to white and formeda head,

 so The body and head were all one piece. 

When I was ready to close the top of the head,

I stuffed it with fiber fill, then closed the head.

I then made two ears, two eye patches, and a cute snout.

.All free hand!

Next, I made two legs, two arms and a cute little tail..again all free hand,

 I did measure to make sure the legs and arms were the same size.

 I stuffed them and sewed them closed.

Lastly, I began to sew all the pieces together.

 My DIL also loves Cupcakes so I made her bear holding a cupcake,

with a cherry on top, with a matching silk yarn ribbon and flower.

Rosie and Maximo like her, I sure hope my DIL Does too!

She is ginormous!

She measures from Top of head to bottom  - 20 inches!

UP-DATE!

My DIL loved the panda, but thought

 the eyes were alittle creepy..I did too.

So I reworked the eyes...She looks sweet now.

I had the eye patches up side down! 

And now you are asking..."How can I get one? "

I would be glad to make you one..

Just click on the contact tab and

 I will let you know the details on

ordering a ginormous but cuddly Panda Bear.
