This crochet bear plushie is perfect for cuddles! Whether you’re looking for a sweet stuffed companion to snuggle while watching tv, a cute handmade toy for kids, or a charming Valentine’s Day gift for someone special, this pattern by Sarah Zimmerman is for you. It’s made with soft chenille yarn and features a large heart applique on the belly. So cute!
What Yarn Is Recommended For This Pattern?
To make your crochet bear toy as soft, squishy, and fluffy as the one seen in the photos, you need velvet yarn. Bernat Velvet is a fantastic choice for this pattern, but any other chenille yarn in bulky or super bulky weight will work great too. Feel free to personalize your teddy bear and go for different colorways – be it a Valentine’s red or pink or traditional brown or beige.
Does the Pattern Require Sewing Parts Together?
This crochet bear amigurumi is worked in separate pieces. This means that all parts, including head, legs, arms, and ears, are crocheted first and then assembled. The last step involves making the heat appliqué and then sewing it to the body.
How Big Is the Velvet Crochet Bear?
The finished crochet bear measures approx. 11” (28 cm) in height. This size makes it perfect for cuddling and playing. It will also work great as a room decoration or bedtime companion. If this size doesn’t satisfy you, you can make your toy bigger by using a larger hook.
