FOUND-missing parts!!!
Fellow Crafters, I found the missing pattern pieces for the felt raccoon. They are located on the pattern pieces for the felt lion. The eye, ear, nose, and arm are on the PDF for the felt lion. The arm is the same as the felt lion. I have made both and they really are cute, small but adorable. I was frustrated looking for the raccoon. I set the raccoon aside and began to make the felt lion. Much to my SUPRISE, as I was cutting the pattern pieces for the lion, there they were! The front and back of the main body of both the raccoon and lion can be made with one piece of felt. I hope this helps everyone. There should be a note on the raccoon pattern that you need to print the lion pattern to get the rest of the raccoon pattern pieces. Good luck to all.

Raccoon—PDF incomplete
I also noticed that only had of this pattern is visible! The arms, ears, and other pieces are missing.
If I make it—and a family member definitely wants it—I’ll have to design my own pieces that are missing. I’m only going to recommend it because these pieces should be fairly easy to create.

PDF Incomplete
Cute idea. The PDF is incomplete. There is no pattern piece for the arms, ears or eye markings.
