Introduction

In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to crochet a cute bear toy. This tutorial is more of a crochet along, so you will need to have basic knowledge of crochet stitches. If you prefer a written pattern, you can find it on my rippler, which will be linked below.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials needed for this project. You will need:

• A 5mm crochet hook
• A stitch marker
• Polyfill stuffing
• Chenille yarn (size 6 super bulky) or any yarn of your choice
• 12mm safety eyes
• 12mm little nose

Making the Arms and Ears

To start off, we will be making the arms and ears. We will need to make four of the same exact parts. Begin by creating a magic ring and crochet six single crochets inside the ring. Increase in each stitch to have a total of 12 stitches. Then, single crochet all around. Flip it inside out and single crochet across to hide the tails. Cut a length of yarn and sew it on. Repeat this process to make the remaining arms and ears.

Making the Legs

Next, let's move on to making the legs. Start with a magic ring and crochet six single crochets inside it. Increase in each stitch to have 12 stitches. Single crochet around for four rounds. Turn it inside out and cut off the first leg, but keep the second leg connected to continue making the body.

Connecting the Legs and Creating the Body

Chain two and single crochet in the stitch where the first leg was cut off. Then, single crochet around all the legs, a total of 28 stitches. Place a stitch marker after making two single crochets across the chain on the front side of the bear. This connects the legs and creates the body.

Creating the Body

To make the body, single crochet around for five rounds, with a total of 28 single crochets.

Stuffing and Adding Eyes and Nose

After completing the five rounds, stuff the body with polyfill. Place the eyes and nose on the head. Turn the bear around and count three rows from the top to position the nose in the middle. Place the eyes about two stitches away from the nose on both sides.

Finishing the Head

For the head, start by making an increase in every stitch around, totaling 28 stitches. Single crochet around for the next five rounds. Finish stuffing the head and sew up the top by inserting the yarn in every single front loop of the six stitches and pulling tightly. Weave in the ends.

Sewing on the Arms and Ears

Finally, sew the arms on the sides of the bear's body and the ears on the top of the head.
