✿ Notes

‣ Remember to placed a stitch marker in the 1st stitch of each round. This will help you identify when each round starts / ends.

‣ You will work in a continuous round so you don’t have to make a sl st.

Teddy bear 

★ I’m using a white yarn

Legs

Round 1: In a magic ring, insert 8sc < 8 >

Round 2-4: Insert an 1sc in each st < 8 >

Fasten off and make an invisible join. Now repeat R1-4 for the other leg but don’t cut your yarn.

Round 5: Ch1, and mark the ch 1 with a stitch marker. This is important because you will insert an Inc here later on so you need to know where is the ch1. Then, take your second leg and join it together by making 1sc. Next, continue by making 7sc, Inc in the ch1, 8sc, Inc in the ch1.

Body

Round 6-8: 1sc in each st < 20 >

Round 9: Dec, 8sc, Dec, 8sc < 18 >

Round 10: 1sc in each st < 18 > 

Round 11: (1sc, dec) x 6 < 12 >

★ Stuff the body here.

Round 12: (2sc, Dec) x 3 < 9 >

Head

Round 13: 1sc, Inc, (2sc, Inc) x 2, 1sc  < 12 >

Round 14: Inc in each st < 24 > 

Round 15-18: 1sc in each st < 24 >

Round 19: (Dec, 2sc) x 6 < 18 >

Round 20: (1sc, Dec) x 6 < 12 >

★ Stuff the head here.

Round 21: Dec x 6 < 6 >

Then, cut your yarn and leave a long end. 

★ Use a darning needle to close the rest of the head by weaving the ends into the FRONT LOOP only. Once you’ve gone into each st around pull tight to close. Lastly, fasten off. 

Hands

★ For your information, I didn’t stuff the hands as I didn’t need to. When sewing it on it will automatically look full. However, if you use a bigger yarn and hook you may need to stuff it. So, you will have to be your own judge for this~ 

Round 1: In a magic ring, insert 6sc 

Round 2-6: 1sc in each st < 6 >

Round 3: Sl st, ch1. Then, cut a long end for sewing later.

Now repeat R1-3 to make the second hand. 

Ears

Round 1: In a magic ring, insert 8sc, ch1 and cut. Leave a long end for sewing. 

★ Now all you need to do is sew on the hands, ears, add the face, blushers and tie a bow onto the neck! Also remember to add the keychain. If you don’t have a keychain I showed an alternative at the end of my youtube video so feel free to check it out! 

Yay! You’re finally done making your own cute teddy bear <3 Hope you enjoy~
