I enjoyed your making the best. Thank you

[@TinaWilliams-w9m]

Hi Rhonda, my name is Tina. I've been watching all your videos. I've made all of my great-grandchildren stuffed animals. You are a great videographer. I love following along with you. I wish everyone was as good as you. Thank you

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Aww, thanks Tina! I’m sooo glad you are enjoying following along and making stuffies for all your great grandchildren. See ya in the next one! 🥰🥰🥰

[@bettythornton]

I enjoyed making the bear.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

That’s awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed crocheting it with me 🥰

[@gabriellyoliveira6037]

Ma'am you're an amazing teacher! I've been trying different bear patterns for my grandma and only this one worked. I just started crocheting and your channel was a lifesaver, thank you!

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Awwwww 🥰 thank you!!! I’m glad you found my channel, and that you enjoyed crocheting with me. Hope you grandma loves it 😊

[@deblong1962]

Hi neighbour,😊 I’m on Northern Vancouver Island B.C. love, love your videos…I’ve never made stuffies before until I found your tutorials..hard time with small hooks to get your fingers so have used a little bigger hooks.. not to great with dark colors, but ok with lighter.. I’ve made a few of these now and did a 420 bear.. thought I’d use this pattern to do the 420 used a 3mm hook for the leaf, then iron it so flat and turned out pretty good.. you’re a wonderful teacher!! Looking forward in trying your other videos.. love and hugs from here ❤️💐

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Awww 🥰 thanks! I’m glad you are enjoying crocheting with me. I actually did the 420 bear with this pattern first. And embroidered the leaf. But thought it was too much the same so I didn’t video it. I might save it for next year. Good thinking and a great tip for others to try ❤️😊❤️

[@kelseybrown204]

What a lovely pattern! I am making this for mothers day this sunday

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Thank you! 🥰 this would be perfect for Mother’s Day! Timestamp away 😉

[@Debbyx4]

Beautiful pattern. I’ve tried something out. When you do the three increases on the head for the cheeks I do three half double crochet increases instead. This makes those three stitches more relaxed so it’s easier to puff them out. I’m a really tight crocheter so it’s easier to see where the increases are. If it doesn’t look right I’ll go back to your method as the first one I made was really lovely.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I can see that working perfectly, especially if your tension is tight. I would sooooooo love to use hdc for shaping. (Like for the elephants trunk to curve) but since I try and make my videoes for all skills I feel like I have to stick with the sc for any part that’s stuffed. Please let me know how it turned out for you, and I can suggest it in another video. ❤️😊❤️

[@Debbyx4]

@@rhondadawnbutler hi. So I have done three bears now. I definitely like the look of doing the 3 increases in hdc. It gives more definition to the face especially as I crochet quite tight. But can I also add that doing it your way is also fabulous and both bears turned out really lovely. I’m absolutely addicted to making these bears. I also use red heart super saver. I plan to make the elephant next but they are also cute.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

@@Debbyx4 I’m definitely trying this! Thanx so much for letting me know how it worked out for you! 🥰

Thank you so much for both teddy bear videos! I have been trying to make my daughter a good teddy for about a year and couldn’t find a good pattern and going on my own was beyond frustrating haha! Also I LOVE how u put the round info at the top this makes it so much easier!

[@rhondadawnbutler]

You are so welcome! 🥰 I know exactly how you feel!!! This guy took me about that long to make a pattern I was happy with. Originally my big gray cat video was supposed to be a base to make other animals, but every time I tried a bear with it, I’d get about half way and undo it, lol. I’m glad people are liking these two bears, cause alot went into finally finnishing them. 😉 hope your daughter loves it 💕

[@carolinemernin]

Hi! Ive looked on all your videos but I can't see where to add the eyes please?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I usually add the eyes closer to the end. Before i add most of the stuffing. This one is around 1h 25 minutes. But it is in every single one except the two base videos 😊

[@carolinemernin]

Omg you have no idea how many times I sped the video up trying to find that spot! I am on last row of head and thought I would add them before going further. I did search later into the video but just missed it 😂 thankyou so much for replying❤

Forgot to ask you what do you think about a sun for the yellow bear would that be able to fit what do you think

[@rhondadawnbutler]

A sun would be perfect! That’s what I would do. Just a circle then embroider little lines around for sun rays.

[@bevpugh]

Hi Rhonda - i love all your videos have have made quite a few of your dolls. could you possibly do a superman doll or batman? ive made the base dolls but dont have the imagination for the clothes. loved making the fisherman. Well done to you x

[@ctytc]

Hi, do you know how much of the yarn do we need to make 1 of it? And does it matter how many ply the yarn has?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Hi 😊 when finished mine weights about 3.15 ounces. So it should take less than 2 ounces of #4 medium yarn. You should be able to use any yarn. And hook a couple sizes smaller than recommended. But that will change the amount of yarn used. 👍😊

[@ctytc]

@@rhondadawnbutler Great, thank you! :D

[@lisagee-gray7681]

For the muzzle part, it went from Row 2 (12 sts) to row 4 (18 sts). What is row 3? Is it 12 sc around or is row 4 supposed to be row 3?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

If you watch row three, I say row 4, but I’ve corrected it to row 3 in yellow at the top of the screen. Row 3 is the increase row to 18. Row 4 is 18

[@lisagee-gray7681]

Cool, was listening to the video moreso than watching the screen so didn’t see the correction pop up.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Thank you 🥰

[@YourOnlyHannah]

Hi! Can you please do a tutorial of this but just the head?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

You should be able to use this one for that, with a little bit of skipping around. When you get to the last decrease of the head (18 stitches) the next two rows would be. 1sc, 1dec repeat for 12 stitches 6dec for 6 stitches Then tie off and close Hope that helps 😊

[@YourOnlyHannah]

@@rhondadawnbutler I did try but its too confusing can you please do a tutorial? It's okay if you can't I'm not forcing but please?

[@Laceymountford]

how do i make the hair?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I think it’s at the very end, but you’ll take a folded piece of yarn about 6 inches. Insert your hoop in and around the starting loop, grab the middle of your strand of yarn, pull it halfway through. Then pull the two yarn ends through the loop you made and tighten it around your starting loop 🥰

[@TinaHodge-u5l]

Hey do you have a small giraffe video?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Hi Tina, I don’t have a giraffe yet, but while I was making the horse, pig, cow and goat, I thought it would be super easy to just continue in the round for a bit between the head and body to turn it into a giraffe or lama. Then you’d just need to make a small tube shape for the horns.

Is the knot with the loop a magic ring?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

To be honest I have no idea what you’d call what I do. I stopped crocheting for about 20 yrs, and instead of relearning I just did my own thing, lol. The magic ring is a two stranded loop that you start a chain 1 and single crochet around. No knot. But this does the same job and feels more secure to me. There is also a chain two and start your sc in the second chain from the hook. Which I think technically works out to what I do, I just do it differently. Hope that all makes sense. But you can start any of my knots with a loop on the end parts any way you are used to as long as you have the same amount of sc in that loop/ring. 👍😊
