An original crochet amigurumi Raccoon pattern by June Gilbank.

Raccoons are naturally found throughout North America. They are named for their dexterous hands; at night, they can ‘see’ their food by touch. Raccoons thrive in both wild and urban environments and are nicknamed ‘masked bandits’ and ‘trash pandas’ for their black face markings and habit of scavenging garbage!
