Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share the free amigurumi patterns for you here. In my article I will share 1 pattern and how to make it for you. At the end of my article, I will share amigurumi patterns that can generate ideas for you.
You Will Need
Stylecraft Special DK, (or alternative dk yarn) 1 ball each in:
- Stone (1710)
- Denim (1302)
- Plum (1061)
- Black (1002)
4mm crochet hook
Embroidery needle
Stitch marker
Toy stuffing
Pins (optional)
2 x 12mm black safety eyes
2 x black/brown 9mm button
Measurements
Approx. 31cm (12in) tall
Tension
Tension is not important for this project, but make sure your stitches are tight so the stuffing does not show through.
Notes
The body is worked first and the dungarees are slipped on after. Construction starts with the first and second leg, which are then joined and you will then continue on making the body and head of the crochet bear in one piece. Placing the straps and buttons is easier when teddy is actually wearing the dungarees.
Abbreviations
You can find a full list of all abbreviations we use in our abbreviations and conversions guide. This crochet teddy bear pattern is written in UK terminology but you can easily convert it to US terms using the guide.

Round 2 Dc in each st across, ch1, turn. [60 sts]
Round 3 Repeat row 2, but don’t ch1 and turn.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail of yarn to sew in ends.
To make up
Attach mouth to the head and stuff evenly before sewing it completely (use your pins to help keep it in place whilst sewing). Using black yarn, sew your nose in the middle of the mouth piece, going back and forth in the same stitches to create the nose. Then make a line down to create the mouth part. Using the same yarn, create two eyebrows above the eyes. Secure well to the back of the head where the hat will be placed so you will not be able to see the black yarn.
Attach ears to the hat. If you are sewing the hat to teddy’s head, you can sew the ears through the head too, but make sure you attach the pom-pom on first. Sew any loose ends to tidy up.
Sew any loose ends on the dungarees. Sew buttons to 1 side of the straps. Place button in buttonhole, pull strap over to shoulder and criss cross to the other side of the back. Do the same to the other strap and secure the back straps by sewing them to the dungarees. This works best when the dungarees are being worn by the bear so you can place the straps in the right place. Sew loose ends on scarf. Tie the scarf to the teddy’s neck, sew in place if you wish for it to be not taken off.
