Okay WOW. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon.
Okay WOW. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. Way better written than the free version I tried first.
Very cute, minor hiccup. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. A left-handed note would've been nice, but I figured it out.
Okay pattern. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. The rounded ears instructions tripped me up and I had to frog it twice.
Hands down the best Raccoon pattern out there. Made it in two nights with bulky yarn to make it extra big. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. A teacher appreciation gift squealed. Mission accomplished. Way better written than the free version I tried first. Buying the whole set next.

Love love love this pattern. I'm left-handed and usually struggle with patterns and I had no trouble at all. Made two: one for the nursing home craft table and one that is NOT leaving my house. The proportions are spot on. The mask markings is the perfect size.
Cutest thing I've ever made. The striped tail is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Would give six stars if I could.
So happy with how my Raccoon turned out. The instructions are written round by round with stitch counts at the end of every row, so I always knew if I'd messed up. Very satisfying little project. My new go-to gift.
Cutest thing I've ever made. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the striped tail. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. It was for my boyfriend and it was the hit of the party. This got me out of a crochet slump. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.
Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. The PDF is laid out so you can print just the pages you need. I printed it and checked off rows with a pencil. I've bought Raccoon patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished.
Worth every penny. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before so I was nervous, but it went fine. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. I liked that the color changes for the mask markings are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. Would give six stars if I could.
Okay WOW. I left out the little hands by accident and honestly it still looks cute. It went to my mom for Mother's Day and now the whole family wants one.
Liked it a lot. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. Did the mask markings in a contrasting color, highly recommend. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. My one gripe is the mask markings took a few tries to get symmetrical.
This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. Emailed a question about the mask markings and got a friendly reply the same day. Highly recommend.
I've already made three of these. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the mask markings. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.
Perfect from start to finish. Used Paintbox cotton and it came out roughly 8 inches.
Good pattern, would recommend with a caveat. Very satisfying little project. My twin nephews squealed. Mission accomplished. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead.
I screamed a little when I finished the face. I run a crochet club at my school so I was nervous, but it went fine. Emailed a question about the striped tail and got a friendly reply the same day. I made it in worsted acrylic from my stash and the little hands still came out crisp. Zero complaints.
Five stars, no notes. Crochet is my anxiety outlet, and this one still taught me something. I've bought Raccoon patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. Added a keychain loop to the top, now it lives on my bag.
Ok this is my new favorite pattern. Gave it to my boyfriend. I've been asked for four more. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the little hands goes. Can't wait for more from this shop.
Five stars, no notes. I've been crocheting for 30+ years so I was nervous, but it went fine. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow. Buying the whole set next.
Good value, a few notes. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. Sewing on the mask markings took longer than the whole body, but that's amigurumi.
Okay pattern. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. Finished it, it's cute, but assembly was more frustrating than fun.
Nearly five stars. Took me two sittings start to finish including sewing on the little hands. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. Customers at my booth keep asking which one is the Raccoon. Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy. Sewing on the striped tail took longer than the whole body, but that's amigurumi.
Could not be happier with this. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. This one's for the nursing home craft table. Already planning the next one. Finished in two nights. The rounded ears is my favorite part.

Okay WOW. I sell at craft fairs and this was perfect for me. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. The little hands and the mask markings are what make it look like an actual Raccoon instead of a blob.
Nearly five stars. Made it in a weekend with cotton DK. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. The rounded ears instructions could use one more photo.
I've already made three of these. I make these for my Etsy shop, and this one still taught me something. This got me out of a crochet slump. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds.
Five stars, no notes. I'm newly retired and finally have time so I was nervous, but it went fine. I left out the striped tail by accident and honestly it still looks cute.
