The ears are very confusing hoping I can figure it out
Hi, this raccoon pattern is simply amazing! I would like to ask, for the ears, what does it mean by 3 single crochet together? Also, the muzzle seems a bit long, is it supposed to be like that? where would you place the muzzle on the face of the raccoon? Thank you!
Ik kom niet uit met het begin van die oor ik krijg meer steken dan 3
Hi, I’m really hoping you can help me with the ears.. I am sooo very confused. You have diagrams for other pieces of the pattern but not the ears. Any help would be so appreciated
Thanks
are we allowed to sell finished items made using this pattern?
Yes, but no more than 50 items per month 🙂
Todos muito lindos e com fácil explicação.Parabéns e obrigada por compartilhar.
Hi was wondering how to finish off the ears or sew them on? It is open in the back and didn’t see anything explaining it.
Thanks
I love this raccoon! Need to practice so much to make it, but I will, it is adorable <3 Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you! 💕🙂

Muito obrigada! 🌹
Hi! Love all your patterns! But I am confused about 1 thing. I’m used to yarn with numbers 1-6 on them telling me the weight that way. Could you please explain what weight a 5-ply yarn would be?
This is fine or baby yarn according to this chart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn_weight
I am enjoying this pattern but not quite sure how to accomplish the body. I will not put wire just in case it protrudes eventually out of the item. Is there a video I can see the explanation of the body? Thank You for sharing this with us it is greatly appreciated. I will send a pic once completed.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a video tutorial.
you could bind the ends of the wire loops with tape to cushion them and wrap some stuffing around before placing in the body
Thanks for your explanations, you are an artist and a very kind person to share your creations.
Super!!!!!!!!!!!! merci
Thank you very much, for the amigurumi guide page, once done I can post it to show you
Best Regard
QUE SIMPÁTICOS…. FELICIDADES.
I Love, All. Congratulations
Hello there 😀 What size hook is used and what ply of yarn is used?
Hi Michelle 🙂 you can use 4 ply yarn and 2.0 mm crochet hook, or 8 ply yarn and 3.0 mm hook. In case you make the toy with bigger hook, the size will be larger.
Well this come out okay if I don’t use the wire?
Yes 🙂
Hy!

I’m new on crochet, does anyone can explain to me what means BLO and FLO? Thank You for the perfect pattern!!
Hi Rosana, you can find the explanation on this page https://amigurumi.today/basic-crochet-stitches-tutorial/
Back loop only front loop only I think lol
Bonjour. Très joli, merci du partage. Juste une question : comment faites vous pour placer les yeux ?
Merci
Hello, you can use safety eyes or beads. The place where they are attached is up to you.
comment avoir le texte en français car impossible de l’avoir je vous remercie d’avance car se site est formidable et des modéles tres beau
Merci pour tous ces amigurimis que tu partages ! Envie de tout réaliser.
Merci! =^.^=
Your pattern is a sheer delight. The choice of colours is absolutely fascinating and eye catching. Had no idea that bodies can be created from some form of square, oblong, rectangle etc, to create a beautiful project. Thank you from the heart for sharing your wonderful creation. Peace and kindness.
