threads, beads, crochet, needle and filler
Instructions
Step 1
To get started, prepare the threads, beads, crochet hook, needle and filler. The color of the threads is not important, but remember, for the toy to be soft and fluffy, the threads must be appropriate. Start knitting from the head of the toy. Cast on two stitches and close them in a circle while knitting six stitches into the second stitch. On the next row, add six extra increments to make twelve stitches.
Step 2
At the beginning of each subsequent row, knit in single crochet, then increase after one, then after two and further loops, until you have forty-two loops. Then continue to knit three to four rows unchanged and start decreasing the stitches. Stuff the head of the bear tightly with filler shortly before the end. Pull the remaining six loops tightly and secure the threads.
Step 3
In order to crochet a bear, knit the torso of the toy in the same way as knitting a head. The maximum number of loops reaches twenty-four, and the body is smaller and thinner than the head. Do not forget to fill the torso with filler, before tightening the loops.
Step 4
Tie the arms and legs in proportion to the body, more elongated in shape. To do this, first make an increase, then knit without changes and make a decrease at the beginning of the last rows. Fill each handle and leg separately with filler.
Step 5
Before crocheting a bear, think about how you will shape the face, whether you will knit clothes for the toy.
Step 6
You can try several design options: tie the muzzle, knit it down. Eyes for a bear can be embroidered with floss threads, sewn on beads or glue ready-made ones.
Step 7
Collect the bear carefully. Sew on the ears first, you do not need to fill them. Then secure the muzzle with a pin and sew it on the front loops, first slightly filling it with filler.
Step 8
In the places where the eye is attached, make tightenings. Embroider the eyebrows and mouth, give the bear's face a certain expression.
Step 9
Pay special attention to the nose, the larger and brighter it turns out, the prettier the toy looks.
Step 10
Lastly, sew on the bear's head, arms and legs. You can use just threads, or fasteners so that the toy can move.
