Today we will knit a little teddy bear. The toy is 8-10 cm tall, depending on the thickness of the chosen yarn and hook. The pattern of how to crochet an amigurumi bear is simple, the body and head knit in a single cloth. Ears, face and hands are sewn. Also, the bear has a scarf to complement the image.
Author’s pattern by Katkarmela. Post ready work and ask questions on the doll pattern in my group in Facebook or Instagram (links on the “About site” page).
What you need to knit a pig:
- Acrylic, acrylic+cotton or cotton yarn. I used YarnArt Jeans yarn 55% cotton 45% acrylic, 50 grams, 160 m.
- Hook – comfortable for you and yarn. I took hook No.2 for my yarn.
- Filler – holofiber.
- Needle for stitching.
- A little black yarn or floss for eye embroidery. You can take black beads or buttons.
Conventions:
- sc – single crochet,
- ch – chain,
- inc – increase,
- dec – decrease,
- sl st – slip stitch
Legs
Knitting an amigurumi bear begins with the legs. It is necessary to make two parts in 3 rows according to the scheme below. On one part cut and fasten the thread. On the second – the working thread remains on the skein and continue to knit according to the body pattern.
- Amigurumi ring 6 sc
- inc х 6 times (12)
- 12 sc
