around 2nd bump (12 sts) (24 sts)

MAKING THE HEART
1. To make round 4, join the 2nd bump to the 1st bump with a single crochet. Continue to single
crochet all around the 1st bump (12 sts). Join the 1st bump to the 2nd bump with a single crochet.
Continue to single crochet all around the 2nd bump (12 sts). Round 4 should have a total of 24
stitches.
2. At the end of Round 10, weave the tail through the front loops of each stitch then pull the tail
end carefully to close the heart.
3. Sew the small gap between the 2 bumps to close, using the yarn tail from the 1st bump. Hide
all yarn tails through the piece several times.

ASSEMBLY
1. Sew the muzzle on the head over Rounds 12 and 18. Lightly stuff the muzzle before closing.
Weave in and hide yarn tail.
2. Embroider the nose onto the

muzzle using dark brown or
black embroidery thread. Use
pins to plan where you want to
embroider the nose. In this
bear, I embroidered the nose
between Rounds 2 and 3, about
2 stitches wide. Ensure that
your embroidery thread is long
enough to stitch the nose and
eyes.
Insert the needle under the

head and come out through
one of the stitch holes between
Rounds 2 and 3 (or whichever
spot you prefer), leave a short
tail at the opening. Make
several horizontal stitches about
2 stitches wide, keeping an
even tension. Always insert the
needle and come out of the
same two stitch holes. Keep
making horizontal stitches until
you are happy with the size.
Use the same thread for the
eyes.

ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
3. Embroider the eyes on

Round 12, with an interspace of
1 stitch from the muzzle. Mark
the eyes with pins before
embroidering.
Make several vertical stitches, 1

stitch tall for each eye, keeping
an even tension. Always insert
the needle and come out of the
same two stitch holes. Keep
making several vertical stitches
until you are happy with the
size.
Bring the needle back out of

the opening and knot off both
tails securely.
4. Sew the ears on each side of

the head over Rounds 6 and 8.
Weave in and hide yarn tails.

5. Use the yarn tail from the 1st

leg to sew the gap close
between the legs.
6. Matching stitch for stitch, sew the head onto the neck of the body. Add more stuffing before
closing. Don’t worry if the head has been sewn on slightly off centre – this can give your bear a
bit of character!
7. Position the arms on each

side of the bear’s body on a
slight downwards angle. Sew the
arms to the body over Rounds
23 and 25.

8. Sew the tail on the back of

the body over Rounds 12 and
14. Weave in and hide yarn tail.
9. Pin the heart on the bear, then using red or light brown yarn, sew each arm onto the heart.
Weave in all yarn tails and ensure all pins have been removed.
All done! I hope you

enjoyed making
Little Valentine Bear!
I would love to see your finished bear
