This tiny crochet panda is around 18 cm (7 inches) long. It was a very fun and easy project and the result is simply adorable – I definitely want to make more animals in this tsum-tsum style 😊 I think the next one will be a lion…

I can't wait for upcoming Kung Fu Panda 3. I am a big fan of the whole series (as some of You may already know ;), I loved previous movies and with whole certainty I can tell I will love the third movie too :) I watched probably all of the available trailers and I felt in love with the little pandas from the panda village, they are soooooo cute !!! I hope there will be much more of them in the movie plus that the movie will be a hit, so If You already watched it NO SPOILERS ! :)

Finished Panda is 33 cm long (13 inches) 

This 18 page PDF tutorial contains many photos and detailed instructions on how to crochet the toy. It is written in English with standard crochet terms. It contains 1 page with abbreviations (You can always check the symbol). Also 1 page is the list of all the parts You have to make, so You can print it and check the elements You have already made.

If You would like to remind Yourself Kung Fu Panda 2 before the big premier You can also visit one of my older patterns for little Po - Po's mascot:

POlittle - little PO part 2

POlittle is here and he is extremly hugable. As I wrote before ( previous post) he was inspired on a little plush from the KUNG FU PANDA 2 movie. He appears on screen only for a few seconds, but it was long enough for me to decide I am going to make him.

It was quite hard to decide on colours, usually pandas are made from black and white yarn (except for zombie pandas :) but I wanted my panda to look old and a little worn-out. I decided to use two shades of grey ( only two, not 50 ) and a bit of black yarn for nose. Well, I am pleased with his shape and general look but the light grey isn't my favorite. I think next time I'm going to look for a way to use white yarn and make it look dirty without really making it dirty. Anyone tried it? Is it worth the effort?

Anyway I am very proud couse he wasn't as easy shaped as I thought and I hope someone will make a good use of the pattern below. Enjoy!

Materials:

• light grey, dark grey, black yarn ( I used YarnArt Jeans)
• 3mm hook
• stuffing ( I used cotton wool)

Pattern:

POlittle - little PO - part 1

For my next project I decided to make another panda ( Yes, I love pandas, zombie pandas, kung-fu pandas and so on....). This one is from KUNG FU PANDA 2 It appears on screen only for a few seconds but It was long enough to steal my heart. Below the screen I'm writing about.

I think It would be the exact same size as my drawing ( half of A4 paper) so It will fit in both hands. I think the most challenging will be to make it a bit aged, that is why I don't want to use white and black yarn but some shades of grey.

Wish my luck, if anyone have any suggestions please hurry up and comment :)  and like always I will write exerything down to make pattern in the next post.

Pirat-panda-zombie maskotka

Pirat-panda-zombie (czy panda-zombie-pirat?) zrobiona dla mojego synka, który kocha pandy i piratów, zombie to raczej wymysł mój i męża, ale myślę że w przyszłości i on będzie fanem takich klimatów. Zdjęcia poniżej pokazują maskotkę od projektu na papierze do gotowej zabawki. Jak widać głowa ewoluowała w procesie powstawania. Na początku chciałam wypchać go grochem lub ryżem, ale w końcu w środku znalazła się wata, tak aby panda nie była zbyt ciężka.

(Pirate-panda-zombie (or panda-zombie-pirate?) Made for my son who loves pandas and pirates, zombies are the love of mine and my husband, but I think that in the future he will be a fan of them too. Photos show the mascot from the project on paper to finiched toy. As you can see the head has changed in the process. At the beginning I wanted to fill him with rice, but eventually used cotton, so that the panda was not too heavy.)
