Lately I was asked if I could make a polar bear and it turned out so super cute and sweet I’ve decided to share a pattern with you.
Supplies:
– worsted weight yarn
– 4mm crochet hook
– 6mm safety eyes
– embroidery needle
– embroidery thread
– scissors
– yarn needle
– stitch markers
– stuffing
Abbreviations:
sc – single crochet
mc – magic circle/ring
inc – increase (single crochet increase = two stitches in one stitch)
dec – invisible decrease (single crochet decrease = two stitches together)
st(s) – stitch(es)
Work in continuous rounds
Head + Body:
6 x sc in mc (6)
R1: inc x 6 (12)
R2: [sc, inc] x 6 (18)
R3: [sc, inc, sc] x 6 (24)
R4: [sc x 3, inc] x 6 (30)
R5: [sc x 2, inc, sc x 2] x 6 (36)
R6-25: sc x 36 (36)
Attach eyes between 8th and 9th row from top. Make 6 sts space between them.
Stuff firmly.
Now you’ll be shaping legs, dividing body in two parts (two legs; both consist of 18 sts but with first leg you will form a circle).
Stuff as you go.
