    This Panda Bear Tissue Box Cover is a free crochet pattern that I created because my brother loves panda bears. I mean have you seen these videos how panda bears roll, play and eat. It is just so adorable. I am not surprised many people love them so much. Remember March 16th is National Panda Day! So let’s celebrate these wonderful animals by making a tissue box out of them.

    I also believe they are just sooo cute and snuggly. So, my first thought of course was “Which yarn do I use?” Well, I had to go with Premier Yarns Deborah Norville Everyday Collection, because it is not only my favorite yarn of all times, but also has a really nice and soft texture, as well as vibrant colors. *Deborah Norville is now Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted Yarn.

    Making a Panda

    Now, when it comes to creating a panda bear tissue box that shows off the nice features the panda bear does have, I struggled a bit in the beginning. But I was able to make it work and display the oval and tilted eye patch with the black eyes barely visible. And of course the cute and adorable nose with the mouth hidden underneath needed to be correct too.

    Then all that was needed was the black ears flapping over and the precious fluffy pom-pom tail in the back of the tissue box. There you have it – a Panda Bear Tissue Box Cover.

    The easiest way to sew the nose to the tissue box cover is to insert the actual tissue box inside the cover, so you know everything is aligned properly. Now, pin the nose on the bottom half of one side of the tissue box cover. Then sew the nose on with the leftover white yarn end. Before you finish sewing it on completely add some polyfill. Then sew the leftover part together.

    Now, pin down the eye patches besides the nose on the upper part of the same side of the tissue box cover. Next, add the plastic eyes to the black eye patches.

    After that, you will sew on the ears right on the corners of the tissue box cover, right above the eyes. And finally, you will attach the pom-pom tail towards the back of the tissue box cover.
