Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight cotton yarn in pink and cream
• Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 22 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill or any stuffing of your choice
• Black yarn: For embroidering the face
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For sewing pieces together and weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

Head

1. Start with a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to create a loop. Insert your hook into the loop and pull up a loop. Chain 1 to secure.
2. Crochet 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring. You should have 6 stitches (6).
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch by crocheting 2 sc in each stitch around. You will have 12 stitches (12).
4. Round 3: (1 sc, increase) repeat around. You will have 18 stitches (18).
5. Round 4: (2 sc, increase) repeat around. You will have 24 stitches (24).
6. Work even for 5 rounds (continue to crochet 24 sc in each round without increasing or decreasing).
7. Round 10: (2 sc, decrease) repeat around. You will have 18 stitches (18).
8. Round 11: (1 sc, decrease) repeat around. You will have 12 stitches (12).
9. Stuff the head firmly with polyester fiberfill. Continue to decrease until the opening is closed. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Body

1. Repeat steps 1-8 from the head, but work 2 additional rounds of even single crochet before starting the decreases. This will give the body a bit more length.

Arms and Legs

1. For each arm and leg, start with a magic ring and crochet 6 sc into the ring (6).
2. Increase for 2 rounds: Round 2: (1 sc, increase) repeat around (9). Round 3: (2 sc, increase) repeat around (12).
3. Work even for 4 rounds (12 sc in each round without increasing or decreasing).
4. Then decrease as follows: Round 8: (2 sc, decrease) repeat around (9). Round 9: (1 sc, decrease) repeat around (6). Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Ears

1. Make 2 ears: Chain 4, turn your work, and single crochet in each chain (3 sc). Fold the piece in half and sew to the head securely.

Finishing Touches

1. Embroider the face using black yarn. Create two small circles for the eyes and a simple smile to give your teddy bear a cheerful expression.
2. Attach all parts securely: sew the head to the body, arms to the sides, and legs to the bottom. Ensure everything is firmly attached for durability.
3. Weave in any loose ends and give your teddy bear a gentle fluff to shape it nicely.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own adorable teddy bear. Enjoy your new cuddly friend or gift it to someone special!
