Free crochet panda pattern and crochet christmas hat come together. I can say that this is one of the most beautiful amigurumi patterns that you should make this Christmas. This crochet panda made with plush yarn that children will love looks very nice with the christmas hat. After making the panda separately, you will make a christmas hat to decorate it. You can use this hat separately, or you can use only the panda without using it at all. But it looks much better with the hat. A detailed crochet panda pattern is waiting for you below, step by step.
