Gift ideas

• Birthday or baby-shower plush: at about 20 cm sitting, the chenille panda is a cuddly size (embroider the eyes for little ones; see below).
• Matching pair: crochet a classic and a lavender panda for siblings or best friends.
• Nursery shelf décor: chenille's soft texture looks lovely in a calm, pastel room.

Care tips for your finished make

• Spot clean first. For small amigurumi, a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap is usually all you need. Dab, don't scrub.
• Hand wash if needed. Use cool water, squeeze gently (no wringing), roll in a towel and let it air dry in shape, away from radiators and strong sun.
• Fluff it back up. Once dry, give it a gentle squeeze and reshape so the stuffing settles evenly.
• Always check your yarn label: the fibre you choose decides how it can be washed.
• Chenille tip: chenille can shed or "worm" if pulled hard, so handle the finished plush gently when washing.
• Little ones: safety eyes and small parts are a choking hazard, so finished pieces with safety eyes aren't for children under 3. Many makers embroider the eyes instead for baby gifts.
