Crochet Tutorial: Pink Panther in Striped Overalls – Free Crochet Pattern

This cheerful pink panther amigurumi is made with a rounded pink head, long slim limbs, a curved tail, oversized muzzle, yellow cartoon eyes, and sweet black embroidered brows. The outfit includes blue and white striped overalls with a yellow front pocket, red buttons, blue sandals with red bow details, plus matching garden accessories: a blue sunhat, brown flower bag, watering can, and a tiny potted flower.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Pattern Overview

This pattern is written in US crochet terms and is designed to create a tall, slim pink panther doll with separate removable-style accessories. The main doll uses firm amigurumi shaping, tight single crochet stitches, and careful sewing angles so the body keeps the same long, playful proportions seen in the image.

The panther has a large oval head, a narrow neck, a slimmer torso hidden partly by striped overalls, long arms, long legs, flat rounded feet, and a gently curved tail. The muzzle is built from separate cream and light pink shapes so the face has the soft layered look shown in the photo.

Finished Size

• Main panther doll: About 12.5 inches tall from top of head to bottom of sandals.
• Head width: About 3.5 inches across.
• Body with overalls: About 5 inches from neck to shorts hem.
• Arms: About 5.5 inches long.
• Legs: About 5 inches long before sandals.
• Blue hat: About 4 inches across.
• Small bag: About 2.25 inches wide.
• Potted flower: About 2.5 inches tall.

Skill Level

Confident beginner to intermediate. The stitches are simple, but the project has several parts. The most important skills are working in continuous rounds, changing colors cleanly, sewing pieces symmetrically, and shaping the muzzle and clothing neatly.

Materials

• Sport weight or light worsted cotton yarn in pink for the panther body.
• Small amounts of light pink, cream, blue, white, yellow, red, black, brown, green, beige, gray, and flower colors.
• 2.25 mm crochet hook for the doll and accessories.
• 2.5 mm crochet hook for the hat brim if you want a slightly softer edge.
• Fiberfill stuffing.
• Two 8 mm black safety eyes or black felt circles for the pupils.
• Yarn needle.
• Stitch marker.
• Embroidery needle.
• Black embroidery thread for eyebrows and eye outlines.
• Pink embroidery thread for nose detailing if desired.
• Two tiny red buttons, or crocheted red button circles.
• Pins for positioning pieces before sewing.

Abbreviations

• MR: magic ring
• ch: chain
• st: stitch
• sl st: slip stitch
• sc: single crochet
• hdc: half double crochet
• dc: double crochet
• inc: 2 sc in the same stitch
• dec: invisible single crochet decrease
• BLO: back loop only
• FLO: front loop only
• FO: fasten off
• R: round or row

Gauge

Using a 2.25 mm hook and light worsted cotton, 7 sc and 7 rounds should measure about 1 inch. Gauge does not need to be exact, but your stitches must be tight enough that stuffing does not show through.

If your doll becomes floppy, go down a hook size. If your fabric is too stiff to shape, go up only slightly. The photo shows a smooth, dense crochet texture, so firm stitches are best.

Important Construction Notes

• Work most amigurumi parts in continuous spiral rounds unless instructed otherwise.
• Stuff the head firmly, the body medium-firm, and the arms lightly.
• Keep the legs long and narrow. Do not overstuff them, or they will lose the slim cartoon look.
• The overalls are worked separately and sewn around the body so the blue and white stripes remain crisp.
• Use pins before sewing the muzzle, ears, straps, sandals, bows, and accessories.
• For the cleanest image-accurate result, place the eyes slightly wide apart and high on the face.

Optional Blue and White Stripe Clean-Up

Because the overalls use narrow one-round stripes, the color changes can jog slightly at the back. To make the back cleaner, insert your hook into the first stitch of each new color, pull up the new yarn, and tighten the previous color before continuing.

Carry the unused yarn loosely up the inside of the overalls. Do not pull too tightly, or the shorts will shrink and become difficult to place over the body.

Facial Placement Guide

• Place the yellow eyes between head R10 and R15.
• Keep the eye circles wide, with about 7 pink stitches between them.
• Place the light pink face panel from R14 to R20 on the front center.
• Place the cream muzzle pads over the lower half of the light pink panel.
• Place the pink nose centered above the joined cream pads.
• Embroider a small vertical mouth line under the nose.
• Add black curved brows above the eyes, slanting upward at the outer edges.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

1. Sew the neck firmly to the head first, checking that the face points straight forward.
2. Sew the body to the lower neck, using several rounds of tight stitches for stability.
3. Attach the arms to the upper sides of the body, about 1 round below the neck join.
4. Sew the legs under the body, keeping them parallel and evenly spaced.
5. Sew the feet to the legs, with the toes angled slightly outward.
6. Place the overalls on the body and sew the waistband invisibly in place.
7. Sew the bib to the front waistband and secure the straps over the shoulders.
8. Add the yellow pocket and red front buttons.
9. Attach the sandals to the feet and sew the red bows to the straps.
10. Sew the tail to the back lower body and curve it gently to the side.
11. Attach both ears to the head and add the red flower near the left ear.
12. Finish the face with black eyebrow embroidery and a small pink mouth line.

After all pieces are attached, hold the doll upright and check the balance. Adjust the leg angle, sandal position, and tail curve before tying final knots. Small placement changes make a big difference in the finished panther’s expression.

Care Notes

• Spot clean with cool water and mild soap.
• Do not machine wash if safety eyes, buttons, or wired tail shaping are used.
• Gently press with a towel after cleaning.
• Air dry flat in a shaded area.
• Do not twist or wring the doll.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• The head is firmly stuffed and oval, not flat.
• The eyes are even and wide apart.
• The cream muzzle is centered under the nose.
• The red flower sits beside the left ear.
• The overalls show clear blue and white stripes.
• The yellow pocket is centered on the bib.
• The red buttons sit at the top corners of the bib.
• The sandals fit snugly around the feet.
• The tail curves naturally behind the body.
• All accessories are woven in securely.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

To preserve the shape, store the pink panther flat or standing with light support behind the back. Avoid compressing the head, muzzle, ears, sandals, or hat under heavy items. Cotton yarn can flatten if pressed for a long time.

For dust removal, use a soft dry brush and move gently in the direction of the crochet stitches. For small stains, dab with a damp cloth instead of rubbing. Rubbing can fuzz the yarn and distort the neat amigurumi texture.

If the doll is displayed in sunlight, rotate it occasionally so the pink, blue, and yellow colors fade evenly. Keep the small flowerpot, bag, watering can, and hat together in a soft storage pouch when not displayed.

Check the sewn buttons, bows, and flower details from time to time. Reinforce any loose pieces with matching yarn and a yarn needle. This keeps the doll safe, tidy, and ready for display.
