Why You'll Love This Wall hanging decor Panda Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines a simple single crochet canvas with playful applique details that really bring the panda to life. I enjoy the way the colorwork creates a clean, illustrated look that is both modern and cozy. The small motifs β€” ears, muzzle, eyes and tiny flowers or a bow β€” let me add personality and customize each piece. Sewing on the wooden stick and making tassels is a satisfying finishing step that turns the crochet into a ready-to-hang decor piece.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to personalize this panda by changing colors β€” try a soft pastel background for a nursery or a bold contrast for a modern room.

I often make the canvas larger by using a thicker yarn and a bigger hook to create a more dramatic wall piece.

For a miniature version perfect for keychains or ornaments, use thinner yarn and a smaller hook β€” the same pattern scales nicely.

I sometimes swap the flowers for tiny crocheted stars or hearts to suit the occasion or the recipient.

If you want a more playful look, embroider freckles or eyebrows to change the pandas expression and personality.

Try different tassel lengths and bead choices to alter the hanging style β€” wooden beads look rustic, metallic beads look modern.

For a posable hanging, use a thinner dowel and add a wrapped cord hanger instead of the ch 60 loop for a cleaner finish.

I also like to back the canvas with a thin felt or interfacing to keep the wrong side tidy when gifting the piece.

Experiment with flower placement β€” clustering a few roses on one side creates a trendy asymmetrical crown.

Finally, you can add a small pocket to the lower back of the canvas to hide a hanging loop or a gift note for a special occasion.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

βœ— Not separating skeins for color blocks can cause long floats and messy wrong side; use a separate skein for each colored area and weave in ends as you go. βœ— Forgetting to start each row with two turning chains leads to uneven edges; always begin every row with 2 turning chains counted as the first sc. βœ— Changing colors incorrectly on the wrong side produces visible knots; carry yarn neatly and change color by completing the last yarn over with the new color or start a new skein and tuck the tail on the wrong side. βœ— Sewing appliques without checking placement results in asymmetry; pin each ear, eye spot and muzzle in place and count rows/columns before stitching securely. βœ— Using inconsistent tension changes the finished size of the canvas significantly; maintain steady tension and use the recommended hook sizes or adjust to match the gauge.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the nose between rows 18 and 25 (count down from the head top) and stuff the muzzle slightly with fiberfill so the nose protrudes naturally.
  • Position and sew the ears onto the head at the top corners of the white head circle, checking symmetry before fastening.
  • Place eye spots and safety eyes on the wrong side first, secure eyes with washers, then sew black eye spots to the canvas and embroider whites with white yarn.
  • Sew the muzzle to the canvas in the position shown on the chart and on the photos, using the long tail to anchor and hide stitches neatly.
  • Attach the wooden stick by wrapping the top loops over the stick, use the 2.5 m tail to secure and tie the hanging cord (ch 60) to the stick ends.
  • Make and attach two tassels about 10 cm long at the lower corners of the wooden stick, add wooden beads if desired and secure knots on the wrong side.

Important Notes

  • πŸ’‘Use a separate skein for each colored area on the canvas so the yarn is not stretched under a different color; this keeps the wrong side tidy.
  • πŸ’‘Every row starts with 2 turning chains that are counted as the first single crochet; remember this when reading the chart.
  • πŸ’‘If your yarn is thin, use two strands together for the canvas to achieve similar density; the chosen yarn affects canvas size and density.
  • πŸ’‘Pin parts in place and count rows when positioning eyes, muzzle and ears to ensure symmetrical placement.
  • πŸ’‘Weave in ends at the wrong side as you go to keep the assembly simple and tidy once the canvas is finished.
