How to crochet a bear

[@kristagrant4179]

New mom of twin boys here! I’ve been wanting to make them bears for a while now and I’m so glad I came across this video. Everything was explained very clearly, thank you!

[@juliewilbur647]

I use this basic pattern for all my dolls, just no ears. Works great!!!!

[@debabrams8438]

Thank you for sharing your gift with me. He is so cute

[@ImHappyToBeHereToo]

I went looking to make something new. Fortunately, your video popped up. He's so cute! I enjoyed watching you crochet, and i think it will be easy for me to follow along.

Nice to see someone else use a bobby-pins as markers. Great tutorial! Thanks 🙏

[@mizahaziqah869]

I want to learn this so that i can make one for my future children

[@crochet_mind]

I’m trying to learn to make one for my older sisters birthday!! I’ve never crocheted so I’ve been trying to learn for about 2 weeks 🤣

Thank you so much for sharing how you make your amigurumis. I can follow patterns but I learn better by watching someone doing step by step

[@teresalowry6340]

I made one of thicker yarn and a bigger hook for my granddaughter. I put cat ears on it and gave it to her birthday which was Dec 29. I made one of a thinner tan yarn and size 3.5 hook and and now making a white with a sparkle in it using the 3.5 hook. It's almost finished. I'm having so much fun. Thank you for posting this tutorial. Now it's January 21, 2022. Still loving this pattern so much. I have tried some others but they just don't satisfy me like this one ☺️. I have made it in a variety of brands, thicknesses and colors. My last one I used Serenity Chunky and used two strands with a K hook. The results was a bear 15" tall. I wrote the instructions out on paper so can always refer to it.

[@ritawashere5787]

I'm having so much anxiety. I've made a velvet Bunny and I'm dreading sewing it together. Specially the ears. I believe I'm going to do the ears the way you've done these years. So now I'm feeling a little more relaxed.😊

[@margiemaritz187]

So cute and beautiful!!!! And so easy for me. I am graduating from crochet granny squares.

[@cheekyeden6516]

I made one for my little kitten, and added a little pompom tail 😆 Thankyou a very easy tutorial to follow.

[@anisamehmood6212]

I've done this with some super chunky yarn and a 5mm hook and its come out bigger and super cute, thank you !

I am definitely going to do this gor my grandson! Your tutorials are the best, and you keep me engaged, as there are many videos here on KZbin that either bore me to tears, or they're just not clear, so I move on til I find one I'm satisfied with. Thank you for guving me the desire to do Amigurumi projects, I look forward to your videos now. P.s....do you use these basic crochet doll bodies as as base for all your Avengers, superheroes and mermaid dolls?

[@Hanan25523]

Jayne Cameron haahaha

[@cathylatona1029]

I have a few skeins of yarn I would like to use for this pattern, but I am not sure they are "4 ply". They are 4 and 5 oz. and they are saying I should use a 5.5 m crochet hook. If I use a 4 mm crochet hook, will that be okay?

[@evilwalnut9971]

For the head, when you say “do 5 sc and then sc decrease, and that’s the pattern repeat,” do you mean do 5 sc, 5 sc decrease 5sc 5 sc decrease all the way around for that round? Or is it just 5 sc and then for the rest of the round all sc decrease? It’s not clear.

[@cherrylyrics1595]

I think it means to do 5 sc, then a decrease, 5sc, 1 decrease, 5sc, 1 decrease, and so on until you finish the row!

[@richieparker2506]

Hi. After the magic circle and increasing the stitches (round 1 and round 2) do you turn it over? I find I'm crocheting inside the circle but you seem to be crocheting on the outside (of that makes sense). Also my tail never seems to end up in the middle of the magic circle. Can you please shed light on what I am doing wrong? Thanks

[@bunnysandbats7579]

Would it be possible to show us how to make a bunny? These are super cute and I really wanna make my favorite animal. Your videos are awesome and easy to follow along to, but if you don’t want to that’s okay, just keep doing what you love. 😊

How do you close arms off before sewing on? That part got edited out.

How many chain i do instead of the magic circle ?

Rawan Yasser I would chain 3 - join the chain and work into the chain 3 space:)

How do you find the written pattern please. Dont seem to get the description box

[@keocandy92]

Thank you so much for your video. It's so clearly and basic for the beginer like me! But I want to crochet biger bear. About 30-40cm. I don't know how to do :((((

[@athreepercenter1837]

Try using a lot chunkier wool and a lot bigger hook 👍

[@brooke-ashleymerlino1779]

Do I chain one after each row/round?

[@betsyfalcon5720]

Same question

[@Random-lu3xw]

No because this project works in the round if you were just chaining stitches that weren't in a magic ring and you had to sc then yes you would have to chain 1

[@itscrizz_]

Does it matter if I use the thick yarn?

[@crimsonwool6175]

You would have to change the hook size accordingly- and the doll would be a different size:) bigger- 😊

[@kathypool3990]

Can I still give a one year old this with these safety eyes?

[@shellykraai2757]

I personally stitch eyes for under 3

You go wayyy too fast and don't show close enough to stitches for me to actually catch what you're doing.
