You know what you can't find anywhere on the internet? Or I couldn't?
A realistic Raccoon amigurumi pattern, that's what. All I can find is cute ones:
They're flippin' adorable - but they don't look real. #4 comes the closest, but not quite. I see raccoons almost every day where I live. They have a pretty specific body shape.
PlanetJune has one on her commission list - she let's people pledge to buy a pattern when it's created, and when she has enough pledges, she makes the pattern - but it's only about half pledged.
There is however, this:
On a side note, PlanetJune's horse pattern came out today. It's... pretty. The face is adorable. The legs I don't like. So I'm wavering about buying it, even though I can get a discount right now. Eh, well. We'll see! This is the horse:
There's an expanstion pack to make a Pegasus and/or Unicorn:
I know why the legs are so sturdy - so the horse can stand by itself, I just wish they had a tiny bit more shaping. Oh, well. It's still super cute and I will still hold out for that etsy horse pattern to come back! Then I can call this one a pony :D
Happy Stitching!

ReplyDelete#4 is definitely the closest to a real looking raccoon. I love the horse and unicorn....adorable! I think their legs look ok.
