Welcome to our first CRAFT Crochet-Along! This month, we hope you’ll join the fun as we learn to make this Fuzzy Panda Amigurumi from our friend Tamie Snow of Roxycraft. As you know, Tamie is also the author of Tiny Yarn Animals and created this Fuzzy Panda pattern just for us.
The first lesson with Tamie starts in exactly 1 week, on Tuesday, Sept 7th at Noon PST. Find out how to get the pattern and the list of materials after the jump!
Materials
2 skeins Lion Brand Alpine Wool in Vanilla #099 Note: Tamie used only 1 skein but it was so close she recommends a back-up skein.

6mm Crochet hook
4mm Crochet hook
1 pair of 18mm doll eyes
2 pair of 9mm doll eyes for joints in the arms and legs of the panda
