Hi my fellow crocheters! I hope your week has started well...but if you needed an extra help to get in the right mood I'm here with a cute little gift for you: an adorable amigurumi Bear free crochet pattern!
I enjoy designing cute little friends for babies, and bears are definitely my favorite subject! I love imagining little kids engaging and playing with them and being comforted by their softness.
Today's free crochet project requires basic stitches knowledge and a bit of extra embroidery skills to create the cute bear's nose.
The finished bear is approximately 5.5" tall.
Here's the FREE pattern! Enjoy!
