Why You'll Love This We Bare Bears Panda Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love how this pattern captures the essence of the We Bare Bears characters with such attention to detail! The way the shirt fits perfectly with those little armholes and how the hat sits just right on the head makes me smile every time. What really gets me excited is the adorable shoulder bag that actually hangs properly - it's those thoughtful touches that transform this from just another amigurumi into a character with personality. The color changes might seem challenging at first, but watching the panda come to life as you switch between black and white yarn is incredibly rewarding. Plus, creating the outfit pieces feels like you're crafting a tiny wardrobe, which adds an extra layer of fun to the entire process!

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with colors to make each panda truly unique! While the classic black and white combination is adorable, you could try making a brown bear version by using tan and cream colors instead - perfect for creating Grizz from We Bare Bears! For the shirt and hat, I've discovered that pastel colors create the sweetest look, but bold primary colors give the panda a more playful personality.

If you want to make your panda extra special, consider adding embroidered details like little paw pad markings on the arms and legs using pink yarn. I've also tried making the bag in different sizes by adjusting the starting chain - a smaller bag looks precious, while a larger one can actually hold tiny treasures! For gift-giving, I sometimes add a small jingle bell inside the body (before closing) so it makes a gentle sound when moved, which children absolutely love.

Another fun variation I enjoy is creating different facial expressions by adjusting the eye placement slightly or changing the embroidered mouth from a smile to a surprised 'o' shape. You could even make a whole set of bears in different colors to represent all the We Bare Bears characters - each one with their own personality and outfit!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to stuff the legs before connecting them to the body can make it difficult to achieve proper shaping and stability ✗ Not counting stitches carefully during the head shaping rounds can result in asymmetrical facial features and improper eye placement ✗ Stuffing the arms too tightly before closing them flat prevents the arms from laying naturally against the body when sewn ✗ Skipping stitch markers during color changes between black and white sections can cause the pattern to shift and lose alignment ✗ Not leaving long enough yarn tails when switching colors makes weaving in ends difficult and can create visible bumps ✗ Placing safety eyes before completing all the facial shaping rounds makes it impossible to adjust their position for the best expression

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the arms to the body at round 30, positioning them on either side for balanced appearance.
  • Attach the ears to the head between rounds 57-59, spacing them evenly on top of the head.
  • Sew the tail to the back of the body at rounds 8-9, centered for proper balance.
  • Sew the black eye parts to the face between rounds 40-46, placing them 4 stitches apart before inserting safety eyes.
  • Insert safety eyes between rounds 43-44 with 8 stitches apart, using glue to secure them in place.
  • Embroider the nose and mouth on the face using black yarn or embroidery thread for expressive features.
  • Dress the completed panda in the shirt, hat, and bag, adjusting for the perfect fit.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to track your place, especially during the complex body and head shaping rounds
  • 💡Stuff the body gradually as you crochet the head section to achieve the proper shape and prevent overstuffing
  • 💡When changing colors between black and white, carry the unused color inside your work for cleaner color transitions
  • 💡Do not stuff the arms too tightly before closing them flat - they need to remain flexible for proper positioning
  • 💡The shirt is worked in the round starting from the collar, so the chain must be joined carefully to avoid twisting
  • 💡Leave long tails when finishing each piece for easier sewing and more secure attachments
  • 💡Pin all pieces in position before sewing to ensure balanced and symmetrical placement

You ask,

we answer.

FAQs

What size will my finished panda be?

Using sport or DK weight yarn with a 2.00-2.5mm hook, your finished panda will measure approximately 8-10 inches tall, depending on how tightly you crochet and how firmly you stuff it.

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes! The pattern states that thicker or thinner yarn will yield larger or smaller products. Just adjust your hook size accordingly to maintain proper gauge and fabric density.

How do I connect the two legs to start the body?

After completing both legs, leave the yarn attached to the second leg. Make 4 chains, then insert your hook into the first stitch of the next round on the first leg and continue crocheting to join them together.

When should I insert the safety eyes?

Insert the safety eyes between rounds 43-44 with 8 stitches apart. It's recommended to sew the black eye parts first (between rounds 40-46, 4 stitches apart) before inserting the safety eyes.

Are the shirt, hat, and bag removable?

Yes! The shirt and hat are designed to be removable, allowing you to change your panda's outfit. The bag has a strap and can be positioned on or off the panda.

How do I close the arms flat?

After stuffing about 2/3 of the arm loosely, crochet 2 more single crochets until you reach the edges. Fold the two edges together, insert your hook through both edges simultaneously, and make 10 single crochets to close.

What's the best way to make clean color changes?

For the smoothest color transitions between black and white sections, complete the last stitch of the old color until the final yarn over, then use the new color to complete that stitch.
