This little bear uses basic crochet stitches and you can make the nose & mouth however you'd like.
Materials:
· Worsted weight yarn. (I used Knit Picks Shine Worsted in color Dandelion - 60% pima cotton, 40% Modal natural beech wood fiber) · Scrap yarn in red for the bow · Embroidery thread in black, red, and white · White felt · Pair of 15mm safety eyes · Stuffing
Tools:
· E/3.5mm hook · Yarn needle · Embroidery needle
Size:
Approximately 4.5" (11cm) tall. Results will vary depending on your tension and your yarn & hook choice.
Gauge:
It's important to make sure the hook size you're using is the appropriate size for your yarn and tension. Choose a size that makes the stitches tight enough so stuffing doesn't show through. Generally, you should use a hook that is about 2 sizes Smaller than recommended on the yarn label.

Pattern Notes:
Pattern is written in US terms. All pieces are worked through both loops. If you crochet in the back loop only, the stitches will be taller and finished object will have different shapes and proportions. This pattern is worked in a continuous spiral. Use a stitch marker to mark the start or end of the round. Increases are written with the number before the stitch such as “2 sc in st" or “3 dc in st" .
Magic Ring:
1. A few inches from the end of the yarn, wrap two loops over your finger。
2. Insert the hook from right to left into the loops.
3. Pull the working yarn through.
4. Carefully take the loops off your fingers and chain one. This doesn't count as the first stitch.
5. Insert the hook into the two loops again and pull up a loop. Yarn over and draw through both loops. This counts as the first single crochet stitch.
6. Continue for the rest of the stitches. Then pull the yarn tail to close the hole.
