Finished Size: This cuddly raccoon measures approximately 8 inches (20.25 cm) tall, depending on the type of yarn you choose, making it the perfect size for both play and display.

Yarn: For this amigurumi raccoon, you'll need acrylic worsted weight yarn. We recommend using one skein of yarn with approximately 200 yards for the main body color, and less for each additional color. The color palette includes:

• Gray
• Black
• White
• Baby Pink

Needles: You will require a set of five (5) double-pointed knitting needles in size 6 US (4 mm) to achieve the best results.

Other Supplies: In addition to your yarn and needles, gather the following materials:

• Black felt for detailing.
• Embroidery floss in black and white for the finishing touches.
• A yarn needle and embroidery needle for assembly.
• Stuffing material to give your raccoon its cuddly shape.

For optimal results, it’s recommended to use knitting needles that are 2-3 sizes smaller than the yarn manufacturer's suggestion. This technique creates a tight stitch that prevents the stuffing from showing through, especially when using yarn that is either thinner or thicker than standard worsted weight.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your crafting journey, this adorable amigurumi raccoon is a wonderful project that will bring joy to both the creator and the recipient. Download our pattern today and start knitting your new cuddly friend!
