To create a festive bear amigurumi you’ll need some cotton yarn (YarnArt Jeans used) and 2.0 mm crochet hook. The size of crochet toy without the cap is about 20 cm.
Skill level: intermediate
Legs
Rnd 1: 6 sc in a magic ring
Rnd 2: (inc) repeat 6 times [12]
Rnd 3: (sc in the next st, inc) repeat 6 times [18]
Rnd 4: (sc in the next 2 st, inc) repeat 6 times [24]
Rnd 5: (sc in the next st in the back loop only) repeat till the end of the round [24]
At this stage cut soles the size of the foot from the cardboard.
Rnd 6-8: (3 rounds) (sc in the next stitch) till the end of the round [24]
Rnd 9: sc in the next 8 st, (dec) repeat 4 times, sc in the next 8 st [20]
Here or in the next round insert cardboard soles in the feet and the toy will be able to stand upright.
Rnd 10: sc in the next 8 st, (dec) repeat 2 times, sc in the next 8 st [18]
Rnd 11: sc in the next 8 st, dec, sc in the next 8 st [17]
Rnd 12-14: (3 rounds) (sc in the next stitch) till the end of the round [17]
Rnd 15: sc in the next 4 st, inc, sc in the next 7 st, inc, sc in the next 4 st [19]
Rnd 16-17: (sc in the next stitch) till the end of the round [19]
Rnd 18: sc in the next 5 st, inc, sc in the next 7 st, inc, sc in the next 5 st [21]
Rnd 19: (sc in the next stitch) till the end of the round [21]
Rnd 20: sc in the next 4 st, inc, sc in the next 11 st, inc, sc in the next 4 st [23]
Rnd 21: (sc in the next stitch) till the end of the round [23]
Don’t forget to stuff the legs as you go!
Put the two crocheted legs together. Feet should face a bit to the sides. Join the legs with single crochet in the place where they touch each other. This stitch is the beginning of the next rounds. Crochet 46 sc around both legs beginning from the back and finish just at the stitch between the legs.
Make increases as given, or make them evenly along the round not to get stripes on the body.
One more thing: it’s recommended to crochet the left displacement stitch in every 4th round of the body for the stitch marker to stay in the center.
Would like to start the party bear but need clarification on what do you mean by displacement stitch and why did you indicate to do another round after round 17
And not count it as 18. And what are instructions for the crochet heart. Hoping to hear from you soon as I would like to make it for a present. Thanks Gloria
I am kind of confused with the head
can you please tell me what do you mean by displacement stitch? thank you
I love the pattern however I’m confused crocheting the arms. According to the directions it states to “add another round “ after completing rows 11&17. Please explain. Thanks
I just added a row of single crochet. Came out perfect
Beautiful pattern turned out great.
I do however wish u had included instructions or a diagram on how to do the facial detailing and the heart, I struggle with those.
But still absolutely adorable especially the ruffles.And quiet easy to do, I’d suggest everyone give it a try.

Could it be made with double knit please
Hi Jackie, there is only crochet pattern.
I think Jackie might have meant double knit yarn. your pattern suggests cotton yarn. if I am correct, then yes, Jackie, of course you can use whatever yarn you want or have. the size of the finished doll may differ, but if that doesn’t matter, then go for it. I often will use finer yarn and smaller hook to achieve a smaller version of whatever pattern I am using. I have even gone to thread and a steel hook for a miniature version. Very cute, pattern by the way! I have made a couple of your dolls.
Thank you so much for the pattern. My 2 grandaughters have a birthday at the end of the month. This pattern will be perfect!
Yes, I think so too :)))))))))
