Material:

- Using Catania by Schachenmayr and a 2.5 mm crochet hook your racoon will be approx.
17 cm/6,7 inches. Of course, you can use whichever yarn you wish to use. The size will
depend on how tight or loosely you crochet.

Please find below the yarn colors I used crocheting the racoon and my
consumption of yarn:

1 skein = 50 g, yardage = 125 m

For the racoon you need:

Nr. 434, “Nebel” (light grey), approx. 5g
Nr. 435, “Rauchgrau” (medium grey), approx. 29g
Nr. 429, “Anthrazit”, (dark grey), approx. 14g

These three colors are named light grey, medium grey and dark grey in
the rest of the Pattern.

For the jumper you need:

Nr. 425, “Bordeaux” (burgundy), approx. 20g

For the nose you need:

Nr. 110, black, 60 cm/23,6 inches

Line above the eye:

Nr. 435, “Rauchgrau” (medium grey), 30 cm/ 11,8 inches

- Crochet hook: 2.5 mm (size B), or according to the yarn you use
- Pair of safety eyes (diameter: 8 mm, black)
- Darning needle (blunt tip)
- Sewing needle
- Embroidery needle (pointed, big eyelet)
- Stitch marker
- Fiberfill
- Scissors
- Pins to attach, secure and check if everything is placed well
- A little tong (the tong will help to pierce the needle in and out through the yarn when
embroidering the nose)

Please Note:
The pattern is written in US-Terminology. The racoon is crocheted with single crochet
stitches (X or V, just as you like). The body is worked in continuous rounds, so there is no
joint at the end of a round and that is why you should use a stitch marker. Please find some
further notes in the pattern according to the respective parts.

Please regard following: Due to your crocheting style – tight or loose – you might
need to adjust the number of stitches when crocheting in the arms and legs so that
the parts are placed symmetrically and parallel to each other. To make sure that
everything is placed well you can change the number of stitches individually.

The following basic knowledge is required:

- Magic Ring
- Single crochet
- Slip stitch (mostly used when finishing off a crochet detail)
- Half double crochet and double crochet
- Increase and decrease (of stitches) I recommend the invisible decrease because by using it
you will get a smoother result. (You can find a lot of great clips online which explain the
invisible decrease in detail.)
- Sewing - Embroidery

Abbreviations:

MR = Magic Ring
sc = single crochet
inc = increase
dec = decrease
BLO = back loop only
FLO = front loop only
hdc = half double crochet
ch = chain
tch = turning chain
st = stich(es)
sl st = slip stitch
( ... ) x ... = repeat x amount of times

Let’s get started with the head.

head (light grey, medium grey, dark grey):

Start with medium grey.

Please note: Stop crocheting right before you pull through the last two loops on the
crochet hook. Drop the old color of yarn. Put the new yarn color on the hook, and use
the new color to pull through the last two loops on the hook. This way the color
change is seamless.

1. MR 5 sc = 5 st
2. inc x 5 = 10 st
3. inc x 10 = 20 st
4. (1 sc, inc) x 10 = 30 st
5. - 6. 30 sc = 30 st (2 Rounds)
7. (1 sc, inc) x 15 = 45 st
8. 45 sc = 45 M (1 Round)
9. (3 sc, inc) x 11, 1 sc = 56 st
10. - 11. 56 sc = 56 M (2 Rounds)
The color change starts with the beginning of the next round. The other colors can run
alongside or you cut them and knot the ends together.

To simplify the colors are abbreviated as follows:

light grey = L, medium grey = M, dark grey = D

12. M 18 sc, L 6 sc, M 4 sc, L 6 sc, M 22 sc = 56 st

13. M 16 sc, L 9 sc, M 2 sc, L 9 sc, M 20 sc = 56 st

14. M 14 sc, L 6 sc, D 4 sc, L 1 sc, M 2 sc, L 1 sc, D 4 sc, L 6 sc, M 18 sc = 56 st

15. M 10 sc, M inc x 2, L inc x 2, L 4 sc, D 6 sc, L 1 sc, M 2 sc, L 1 sc, D 6 sc,
L 4 sc, L inc x 2, M inc x 2, M 14 sc = 64 st

16. M 10 sc, M (1 sc, inc) x 2, L (1 sc, inc) x 2, L 3 sc, D 7 sc, L 1sc, M 2 sc, L 1 sc, D 7
sc, L 3 sc, L (1 sc, inc) x 2, M (1 sc, inc) x 2, M 14 sc = 72 st

17. M 16 sc, L 7 sc, D 9 sc, L 1 sc, M 2 sc, L 1 sc, D 9 sc, L 7 sc, M 20 sc = 72 st

Crochet the last three rounds in medium grey.

28. (3 sc, dec) x 11, 1 sc = 45 st

29. (1 sc, dec) x 15 = 30 st
30. (1 sc, dec) x 10 = 20 st

Finish off with a sl st. Cut the yarn leaving a long yarn tail for sewing. The head is not
filled with fiberfill before you embroidered the details. (At the end the head is sewn to
the hoodie with yarn tail of the hoodie.)

Facial features
Nose:
The nose is embroidered with black thread above round 21 and beneath round 23.
First you embroider a rectangle with its two perpendicular lines 8 st apart. Orientate
yourself to the medium grey section. Embroider each stitch from up to down until
all stitches below are covered. Cut the yarn, tie the yarn tails together and hide the
ends in the head.

Embroider two lines above the eyes

with dark gray over 2 rounds. The
lines are embroidered slanted 1 sc to
the outer side.

How to indent Amigurumi eyes:

First fill the head with fiberfill. Make sure that you keep the shape and that the muzzle
and cheeks are formed nicely. You can shape the details with the help of an object with
a blunt tip e.g., a pencil. To indent the eyes, you introduce the needle right at the left
side of the eyes and pull out the yarn tail at the bottom of the head. Now you
introduce the other yarn tail at the right side of the eye and pull it out at the opening at
the bottom of the head. Repeat these steps at the second eye. Take the yarn tails pull
them tight and tie them together 1 time. This way they are indented. Then make
another knot to keep the eyes in this position. The yarn tails can be hidden in the inner
side of the head.

embroider 5 - 6 lines over about 5 or 6 rounds. At the bottom the lines are 1 sc
apart. (Please see the picture above).
