The newest addition to the Chubbies family!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of my most popular patterns of all time is Waffle the Chubby Bear (middle photo below). I can totally see why because it’s also one of my favorites. It’s simple, chubby, and super adorable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a second animal in the same body shape, Bingsoo the Chubby Penguin, and I’m absolutely in love with him too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it’s been a few years and although I’ve really wanted to continue adding to this series I haven’t had the time or the right inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I attempted a red panda version a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely loved how it came out. I went with a similar body design with a slightly oval muzzle, and the cutest white tipped ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is very simplistic in its design which makes it an even easier make. I used darker red yarn for the ears and arms, but you could also go with brown or black depending on the type of red panda you want to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips making this pattern!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This pattern is relatively straightforward with only a few pieces, which makes it perfect for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only tricky step in this project is the Foundation Chain. This is a method of starting amigurumi that creates an oval shape, which can be really helpful for creating unique body shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use this method in all the animals in the Chubbies series, because I find that the oval body shape give them a really cute and adorable look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this red panda, I also used this technique to create a slightly more elongated muzzle. This creates a super cute facial expression!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
