LUCAS THE TEDDY

Amigurumi Classic Teddy Bear Pattern

Amigurumi Traditional Teddy Bear is crocheted in the round. Do not join


rounds. Mark the beginning of your rounds with a stitch marker or safety pin.
I use yarn to mark the rows; choose the best way for yourself.

Size:
With 2,5mm crochet hook: Approx. 26 cm/10 in.
With 3mm crochet hook: Approx. 33 cm/13 in.

Video tutorials: Implemented into the pattern – clickable links that take you to
YouTube. Supplementary tutorials/explanations for visual learners - to illustrate
the process for the best possible result.

Tools and materials what you´ll need:


Cotton or Bamboo yarns, DK /Worsted weight yarn; 6 mm Safety Eyes.
For filling: Toy stuffing. Stuff gradually!

Yarn suggestion for 2,5mm crochet hook:


Austermann Alpaca Silk, Worsted /10 ply (9 wpi)
Fibra Natura Papyrus, 50 g – 120m, 2 balls
Yarn suggestion for 3mm crochet hook: Scheepjes XL Stone-washed, Aran, 3
balls (150 grams).
You can vary the size of an Amigurumi project by changing the hook size, by
changing the yarn thickness and also, by varying the tightness of the stitches!
Design won´t change!

Crochet skill level:


This pattern requires knowledge of basic crochet terms: Crocheting in the
Round, forming a magic ring, single crochet stitch (sc), single crochet
increase (Inc), single crochet invisible decrease (Invdec), slip stitch (Sl. st),
working through the Back Loop (BL sc) and joining pieces together.

Terms:
“Magic ring”: adjustable loop with 6 sc, pulled together tightly; there is no
hole left.
“Neat finish”: one method to finish a toy piece in Amigurumi. I will describe it in
my pattern as well.

Abbreviations used:
Sc – single crochet
Inc – increase
Invdec – invisible decrease
Bl sc – back loop
3 sc in one – 3 sc into 1 sc
Sl.st – slip stitch

Count 19 rows from the nose

I always begin attachment at the


other side of the ear, to form a
lovely curve. So I bring yarn to the
opposite end, attaching back first.

The curve is done – half of the ear You can make one extra stitch at
is attached. Now you can remove each end to finalize the attachment
pins. and make it more secure.
Start attaching from the inside. You
can also twist a bit of the ear to
get a better attachment.

Attaching head to the body

Attaching head to body: I use pins. The end of the body part will remain just
on the right side of the teddy and then I start joining. Look at the body shape.
The larger curve should be on the backside of the teddy.
