This bear is an easy free crochet pattern, it is a great project for beginner crocheters.
I used cotton yarn to make this bear, but if you want you can use any yarn for this bear. Always use the smallest crochet hook recommended on the label of your yarn.
In the material list below I have put links to the exact yarn that I used to create this cute bear Amigurumi.
SMC Catania yarn is my favorite yarn to make Amigurumi, it is very high quality and it has the OEKO-TEX® label, which means that it does not contain any harmful substances and it is produced in a human and environmentally friendly way.
I have a basic stitches tutorial if you are a beginner. The tutorial has a lot of videos included.
Materials that I used:
– Orange cotton – catania color: 411
– Black Cotton – catania color: 110
– Synthetic Poly filling
– 1 pair black safety eyes 10 mm
Supplies:
– Scissors
– Tapestry needles with blunt point, nr. 16 or 17
– Pins
– Crochet hook size 2.5 mm 4/0
