How to Make a Cute Teddy Bear Applique: Step-by-Step Tutorial

Introduction

Welcome to this step-by-step tutorial on how to make a super cute teddy bear applique. This fun and easy crochet project is perfect for adding a touch of charm to any blanket, cardigan, or sweater. In this tutorial, I will guide you through each step, from creating the head and snout to sewing on the finished applique. So grab your crochet hook and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have the following materials:

  • Yarn (any weight and color of your choice)
  • Crochet hook (appropriate size for your yarn)
  • Tapestry needle
  • Scissors

Head

Let's start by creating the head of the teddy bear applique.

Round 1:

  • Begin by creating a magic circle.
  • Chain 2.
  • Make 11 double crochet stitches into the circle.
  • Pull the yarn tail to close the circle slightly.
  • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2.
  • You should have 12 double crochet stitches in total.

Round 2:

  • Chain 2 (counts as the first stitch).
  • Work 1 double crochet into the same stitch as the chain 2.
  • Work 2 double crochet stitches into each stitch around.
  • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2.
  • You should have 24 stitches in total.

Round 3:

  • Chain 2 (counts as the first stitch).
  • Work 1 double crochet into the same stitch as the chain 2.
  • Work 2 double crochet stitches into each stitch around.
  • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2.
  • You should have 48 stitches in total.

Round 4:

  • Chain 1 (counts as the first stitch).
  • Work 1 slip stitch into the next 14 stitches.
  • Skip 2 stitches, then work 7 treble crochet stitches into the following stitch.
  • Skip 2 stitches, then work 8 slip stitches.
  • Skip 2 stitches, then work 7 treble crochet stitches.
  • Skip the next 2 stitches, then work 15 slip stitches.
  • Join the round with a slip stitch or make an invisible join.
  • You should have a total of 80 stitches.

Snout

Now let's move on to creating the snout of the teddy bear applique.

Round 1:

  • Create a magic circle.
  • Chain 2.
  • Work 11 double crochet stitches into the circle.
  • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2.
  • You should have 12 stitches in total.

Round 2:

  • Chain 1 (counts as the first stitch).
  • Work 1 half double crochet into the same stitch as the chain 1.
  • Work 2 half double crochet stitches into each stitch around.
  • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 1.
  • You should have 24 stitches in total.

Embroidering the Nose

Before sewing the snout onto the head, let's embroider a cute little nose.

  • Using black yarn, thread the yarn onto a tapestry needle.
  • Insert the needle from back to front between one of the double crochet stitches.
  • Insert the needle through the middle of the stitch from front to back.
  • Continue embroidering the nose by inserting the needle in a back-and-forth motion, coming out at different points to create the desired shape.
  • Tie a few knots at the back of the work to secure the yarn, and weave in the ends.

Sewing the Snout

With the nose embroidered, it's time to sew the snout onto the head.

  • Place the snout just above the row of slip stitches on the head, ensuring it is centered.
  • Use a tapestry needle and yarn to sew the snout onto the head. Insert the needle through the back loop of the stitches, working your way around.
  • Weave in the ends and secure the yarn with a few knots.

Embroidering the Eyes

Now, let's add the eyes to our adorable teddy bear applique.

  • Thread black yarn onto a tapestry needle and make a knot at the end.
  • Insert the needle into the head, slightly above the snout, where you want one of the eyes.
  • Bring the needle to the back of the head and make a few knots to secure the yarn.
  • Repeat the process for the other eye.
  • Trim the ends of the yarn after securing the eyes.

Finishing Touches

With the head, snout, nose, and eyes complete, you can now weave in any remaining ends.

Ideas for Using the Teddy Bear Applique

Now that you have a charming teddy bear applique, let your creativity run wild with these ideas:

  1. Add the applique to a baby blanket for a playful touch.
  2. Sew it onto a cardigan or sweater to create a whimsical design.
