A round white belly, black eye patches, and little white soles give this crochet panda plenty of personality. The free amigurumi pattern creates a classic black-and-white bear with a shaped head, rounded ears, and soft limbs sewn onto the body. Its embroidered nose and eyebrows bring the face to life, making it a thoughtful handmade gift for a panda lover or a cheerful companion for a desk or bookshelf.

Color Changes That Create the Panda’s Eye Patches
The eye patches are worked directly into the head with color changes, so there are no separate patches to sew on. Made with YarnArt Jeans and a 1.75 mm hook, the project combines familiar amigurumi shapes with a little extra attention to shaping and assembly. Follow the instructions for the head, body, ears, tail, arms, and legs, then take your time placing each piece to give your panda a balanced face and relaxed pose. It’s a satisfying project for makers who enjoy animal toys.
