Crocheted Teddy Bear Pattern
★★★★★
It’s not the yarn I would have liked to buy, but unfortunately online a lot of things look different than in reality. I put it aside for several years, but now I needed the space and started to process my old yarn. It didn’t have a label, it wasn’t even buttoned up so I had strong doubts that it would be any good. Despite this, it was surprisingly easy to work with, no lint or tears, so I quickly crocheted this tiny teddy bear.
Please accept her pattern with love. Happy crochet!
Supplies:
- Plush yarn
- Crochet hook that matches the yarn of your choice
- Needle for sewing
- Scissors
- Two safety eyes
Stitches and abbreviations (US crochet terms):
- sc – single crochet
- dec -decrease
- inc – increase
- ch – chain
Tip
– If you also find it difficult to pull the magic ring together at the beginning of the round, make 3-4 ch and hook the 6 dc into it.
– When sewing, this type of thread often breaks on me, not to mention how hard it is to thread in the needle. If you struggle with this, use a cotton yarn of a similar colour to sew the body pieces together. But you can crochet the legs and arms right away, just follow the pattern instructions
