Amigurumi Traditional 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 2mm crochet hook: Approx. 23 cm/9.1 inc
With 3mm hook: 33 cm/13 inc

Video tutorials:
Please go to: www.happyamigurumi.blogspot.com >>> Amigurumi Video Tutorials

Tools and materials what you´ll need:


Cotton or bamboo yarns (here: Austermann, Bambou Soft), 6 - 8mm safety
eyes, for filling: toy stuffing. Stuff gradually!
Yarn suggestion for 2,5mm crochet hook: Austermann Alpaca Silk, Worsted /
10 ply (9 wpi)
Yarn suggestion for 3mm crochet hook: Scheepjes XL Stone-washed, Aran, 3
balls (150 grams)
You can just vary the size of amigurumi just by changing the hook size, by
changing the yarn thickness and also by varying the tightness of the stitches!

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 with
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
2

Sl.st – slip stitch

Joining:

I like to use pins to attach body parts temporarily just to see how my teddy
bear is going to look like. Take care not to prick yourself! Here you can see
that I place ears, hands and legs on a same line.

on a right side of the teddy then I start joining. Look the body shape. The
larger curve should be on the backside of the teddy.
I evenly stitch two rows because it fastens the head securely in place and is
stronger for handling.

I always begin attachment at the other side of the ear to form a


lovely curve.

12

The curve is done – half of the ear is attached. Now you can remove
pins. You can also twist a bit of the ear to get a better attachment.
