This is by far the best pattern! I have made many as gifts and just love the pattern. I use a safety nose instead of embroidering one as I just suck at embroidery. Still comes out super cute.
Thank you so much for your free pattern. I am using it to make a few to distribute and bring joy to kids in the cancer hospital . I will also be using the bunny pattern. God bless you for taking the trouble to write out the pattern and make it freely available.
I’m disappointed in the ugly comment about this not being a “free” pattern, because that’s exactly what this is. Folks like that seem to wind up discouraging well-meaning happy people with all their negativity.
With that being said (sorry…) I’d like to thank you for taking the time to type everything, making it a super easy to follow pattern, and including pictures as a reference. My bear turned out totally adorable and I’m excited to use all your other FREE patterns. Being able to access them anytime I want (while relaxing on the couch for instance) by using my phone or laptop makes your site my very favorite. Keep up the awesome job!
Hello. You have beautiful patterns. I want to know if I can sell the finished product based on your patterns. If so… Do I have to buy the pdf pattern or I can use the online free one? and… How do I have to mention your work as a designer?. Thanks.
gracias por compartir el patron de este precioso osito saludos desde cayambe-Ecuador
What weight yarn can be used if we don’t buy that specific one?
You can use the yarn of different weight, the toy design won’t change.
Just start to do amigurumi, Thank you so much
I’m so in love with the bear that I made using this pattern! Thanks so much! I’m new to amigurumi, and your patterns made me addicted to it! I’m going to make more.
Thank you very much .I enjoy it very much especially at the corona time😍
Thank you for this pattern. This was my first written pattern I made after watching lots of videos. I used the wrong yarn, had nothing in the same colour to sew it and the assebly was a mess, but I do love the outcome;) thanks!
i love you
How is this supposed to be a FREE pattern when you are not allowed to print or copy it! We do not all have time to sit on the computer to use the pattern. If it is FREE we should be able to download or copy it to our computer to use. I want to be able to print it off and sit in comfort in my living room to crochet, not sit at a computer. Very disappointed in your website as I have found this problem with all of your patterns, Looks to me like a false claim – it is FREE to look at but you have to pay to use it!
Hi 🙂 You can use online versions of the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free, because it takes a lot of time to make the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. Hope for your understanding 🙂
Bear turn out wonderful. Kept me busy while we’re in lock down. Thanks
Hello!
Great pattern thanks!
Where would I find the pattern for the bunny ears (image of the bunne with the bear)?
thanks!
Here it is >> https://amigurumi.today/crochet-cuddle-me-bunny-amigurumi-pattern/
How do i get a printable pattern ?
Online version of this pattern is free, but if you want to print it, you have to buy PDF version.
Thank you for the pattern. I did it for my little baby with a soft yarn and hook n5 and now it is a perfect friend for sleeping time 🙂
Witam! Miś jest piękny. Zamierzam zrobić tego słodziaka na aukcję na Wielką Orkiestrę Świątecznej Pomocy (cel charytatywny) . Jestem z Polski i nie znam angielskiego, a więc nauka 2 w 1. Zobaczymy jak wyjdzie. Pozdrawiam Maria
Hi,
Does anyone know how to double the size of this bear?
Ive been asked to make a bear, but double the size and add a moustache, for a charity event.
Ive tried doubling the pattern, but its coming out all wobbly and not straight. Please does anyone have any ideas on how to double the size?
….This project is meant to be completed my November, for Movember.
Thanks
Hi 🙂 If you use thicker yarn, your bear will be bigger as well.
Try using a larger hook size
Would soft fuzzy yarn work for this pattern? And if so, do you recommend any specific type of yarn?
Yes, it would work.
i would love to have the hipo

The bear turned out great!! I used a size 3mm hook instead of 2 so it came out slightly bigger but still adorable!!! Thank you for this pattern!!!

Hi there , i would like to know what you mean by : + 5 stitches on the left leg (round 14 – the legs)? Am i supposed to chain 5 or else single crochet one sc into next 5 stitches.
Hi 🙂 This means to crochet additional 5 single crochet stitches (sc in next 5 st).
