This adorable PandaBear amigurumi pattern gives you two cuddly friends in one - crochet a classic panda or switch to brown yarn for a sweet teddy bear.

The finished bear stands about 8 inches tall with a huggable round body, embroidered smile, and signature safety eyes that give it tons of personality. Both versions work up beautifully with the same pattern - just swap black and white for brown tones. These make great gifts for kids (they're sturdy enough for actual play), new parents looking for handmade nursery decor, or anyone who collects stuffed animals. The pattern includes both bears as siblings from different continents, which is a fun detail if you want to make a matching set. Free patterns like this are hard to find at this quality level, especially ones that give you two designs.
