Crochet Teddy Bear Written Pattern and Video

Bear Size,
This bear is approximately  6-8 inches tall in a sitting position depending what on yarn weight and hook size.

Video tutorial,
I have a video that starts at the beginning and goes row by row. It’s a slow, for the absolute beginner, video. It’s also an older video that I wish I could replace. Please keep in mind you can use the fast forward to skip over any parts you don’t need. View the video  here

Modifications available,
To make a Remembrance Day bear which has a vest helmet and a poppy pattern go here
Turn this bear into an Angel by adding wings and a halo. Patterns  here

Translations,
Danish translated by Christina Stjernholm here
Hungarian translation by Eni Anyu here

Supplies:
Use any yarn weight with the appropriate hook size
I used less than 364 yards of Red Heart Comfort Yarn
4.0 mm hook. Use a smaller hook if you see gaps in your stitches
blunt end yarn needle for sewing
scissors
polyester stuffing
Optional: felt for behind the eyes
you can use buttons, french knot or paint eyes on. I used 7.5mm and also 10mm safety eyes for the bears pictured.

Abbreviations:
st = stitch
sc = single crochet
2tog = crochet 2 stitches together
sl st= slip stitch
f/o = finish off
dc = double crochet (used only for toes and thumbs and is optional)

Magic ring:
Many parts of this amigurumi begin with a magic ring. I have 2 short video tutorials that will show you 2 different methods of making a magic ring. Use the one that is
easiest for you. View 1st method here and 2nd method here.

How to read the rows:
Add a maker at the end of row 2 and move that marker each time you finish a row. Each row has a sequence. Example: 1sc then 2sc in next st means repeat that sequence 1sc then 2sc in next st followed by 1sc then 2sc in next st over and over to the end of that row. When you land on the marker you should be putting in 2sc. The number inside the parentheses ( ~ ) is the number of stitches you should have at the end of that particular row.
