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.
Merci pour tous ces amigurimis que tu partages ! Envie de tout réaliser.
Merci! =^.^=
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
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.
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
Well this come out okay if I don’t use the wire?
Yes 🙂
Hy!
I am Aliz!
I would like to ask an email address.I would lile to send a pic about my raccoon for you
I love your pattern😍
Have a lovely day!
Aliz
Hi Aliz 🙂 You can send your pics to [email protected] 🙂
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.
I Love, All. Congratulations
QUE SIMPÁTICOS…. FELICIDADES.
Thank you very much, for the amigurumi guide page, once done I can post it to show you
Best Regard
Super!!!!!!!!!!!! merci
Thanks for your explanations, you are an artist and a very kind person to share your creations.
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
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 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! 💕🙂
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
Todos muito lindos e com fácil explicação.Parabéns e obrigada por compartilhar.
are we allowed to sell finished items made using this pattern?
Yes, but no more than 50 items per month 🙂
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
Hi! I absolutely love your works thank you for all the patterns.
I’m a bit confused about the ears of the raccon. Especially with row 5. Could you please help me a bit how to make this row?
Thank you in advance!
Ik kom niet uit met het begin van die oor ik krijg meer steken dan 3
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!
The ears are very confusing hoping I can figure it out
I have seen a few comments about the ears and how we are supposed to finish them. Would you able to provide some guidance? Do we need to sew the back of the ear together before attaching as there is a gap. If you could let me know I would be very grateful. Apart from that I am loving this pattern and cannot wait to see the finished result. Thank you.
