  • Black embroidery thread for the eyelashes/nose and mouth

  • 3.5 mm crochet hooks (these are what I use and I love them!)

MC- Magic circle
SC- Single crochet

Note: Here is where we will add the facial features before we start closing the head. Insert the eyes between rows 16 and 17, 8 stitches apart. Place your eyes where you would like them and then remove to embroider your eyelashes before attaching the washer to the back. (This creates a little hole to help see where you want your eyelashes to go) *Pictures below

Nose
– Using embroidery thread place the nose two rows beneath your eyes and two stitches in on each side (this will leave 4 stitches in the middle and this is what you will pass your thread through to create the nose). Pass your thread through 13 times (or as many as you would like for a thinner or wider nose). Use your thread to make a straight line down 3 rows and then a ‘V’ for the smile.

*Stuff your head as you go

Sewing the ears together-
Place a front and back ear with wrong sides facing each other and sew together. Complete this step with the second ear.

Sew the ears onto the head, place them evenly apart in line with the eyes. I started at the 4th row and the ear stretched across to about the 8th row.

Dress- To work the dress, have your bear’s body towards you and feet away from you (see pictures below for example) and we’ll work around

With ocean create a slip knot and attach with a slip stitch to one of the front loops from round 29 (For a cleaner look attach at the back of the body)

Round 1: Ch 1, DC in the same stitch and in each stitch around, join with a slip stitch to the first DC (42 DC)
Round 2: Ch 1, *1 DC in the same stich, DC INC in the next*, *repeat around (63 DC)

At the end of round 20 pinch the arm flat and make 5 SC across the top to close, fasten off and leave a long tail to sew onto the body. Pictures below:

Attaching everything together
– Sew the head onto the body, making sure to have the facial features centered. Add more stuffing as you go to make it firm and less wobbly. Next sew the arms onto the body centered with the head at row 44.

Bow
– Working in a magic circle make 5 DCs, slip stitch, 5 DCs, and slip stitch again, pull your string tight and wrap it around the middle of the bow 4 times. Tie/secure in the back and cut your string leaving a long section to sew with.

Sew onto the ear of your choice

Your bear is complete! I hope you have enjoyed making this pattern.
