This adorable raccoon knitting pattern is perfect for enthusiasts looking to craft a charming stuffed toy. The raccoon is designed to be worked in rounds, with each of its limbs, tail, and head meticulously crafted separately and sewn onto the body for detailed assembly. The head features beautiful intarsia work in the round, or you can opt for the duplicate stitch method for added convenience. When completed, the finished toy size measures approximately 9 inches (23 cm) when sitting and 15 inches (38 cm) from head to tail, making it a delightful addition to any plush collection.

For this raccoon pattern, we recommend using KnitPicks Mighty Stitch, a high-quality worsted weight yarn that is 20% Superwash Wool and 80% Acrylic, providing both softness and durability. You'll need the following yarn quantities:
