Simple Crochet Teddy Bear Amigurumi Free Pattern For Cozy Projects

Bear-Themed Keychain Crochet Pattern

Pattern Basic Points

• Constructed in Continuous Rounds: The head and snout are worked in a spiral. Do not join rounds or turn unless explicitly instructed. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch of each round.
• Proportional Feature Placement: Safety eyes and facial embroidery rely on precise placement between specific rounds to achieve a symmetrical expression.
• Modular Assembly: Individual elements, including the ears, snout, and optional flower, are crocheted separately and sewn securely onto the base head structure.

Special Notes

• Maintain a firm, consistent tension throughout the project to ensure the stuffing does not show through the stitches.
• Insert safety eyes and embroider facial details before closing the final rounds of the head.
• Keep long yarn tails at the end of each separate piece to simplify the sewing process during final assembly.

Skill Level

• Beginner to Intermediate: Requires basic knowledge of amigurumi techniques, including the magic ring, single crochet increases, invisible decreases, and simple surface sewing.

MAterials

• Yarn:
  • Color A: Tabaco (Medium brown for main body/head and ears)
  • Color B: Kaki (Light brown/beige for snout)
  • Color C: Black (Small quantity for embroidered facial features)
  • Color D: Pink (Optional, for flower version)
• Crochet Hook: 2.5 mm
• Safety Eyes: 8 mm (1 pair)
• Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill (Silicón algodonado)
• Notions: Tapestry needle, stitch markers, scissors, keychain ring attachment

Measurements & Gauge

• Finished Height: Approximately 4.5 cm (excluding the metal keychain hardware).
• Gauge: Gauge is not critical for this project, provided the stitches are dense enough to prevent fiberfill from showing through.

Stitch Abbreviations

• st(s): stitch(es
• mr: magic ringsc: single crochet
• inc: increase (work 2 single crochet into the same stitch)
• dec: decrease (work 1 single crochet across 2 stitches, invisible decrease recommended)
• ch: chain
• hdc: half double crochet
• dc: double crochet
• sl st: slip stitch

Special Stitches

• Invisible Decrease (dec): Insert hook into the front loop only of the first stitch, then directly into the front loop only of the next stitch. Yarn over, pull through both front loops, yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook to complete the single crochet.

Round 5:

• [3 sc, 1 inc] repeat 6 times around. (30 sts)

Round 6:

• [4 sc, 1 inc] repeat 6 times around. (36 sts)

Round 7:

• Work 36 sc around. (36 sts)

Round 8:

• Work 36 sc around. (36 sts)

Round 9:

• Work 36 sc around. (36 sts)

Round 10:

• Work 36 sc around. (36 sts)

Round 11:

• Work 36 sc around. (36 sts)

Round 12:

• Work 36 sc around. (36 sts)

Round 13:

• [4 sc, 1 dec] repeat 6 times around. (30 sts)

Round 14:

• [3 sc, 1 dec] repeat 6 times around. (24 sts)

Round 15:

• [2 sc, 1 dec] repeat 6 times around. (18 sts)
  • Fill the head firmly with polyester fiberfill stuffing, shaping it into an even sphere.

Round 16:

• [1 sc, 1 dec] repeat 6 times around. (12 sts)
• Top up with additional fiberfill if needed to maintain shape.

Round 17:

• Work 6 dec around. (6 sts)
• Fasten off, leaving a short tail. Thread the yarn tail through the front loops of the remaining 6 stitches, pull tight to close the opening securely, and weave in the end.

Snout (Color: Kaki)

Round 1:

• Work 6 sc into a mr. (6 sts)

Round 2:

• Work 1 inc in every st around. (12 sts)
• Fasten off, leaving a long yarn tail for sewing onto the head.
• Using Black yarn and a tapestry needle, embroider a small nose stitch near the top center of the snout, adding a vertical stitch extending downwards to form the bear's mouth detail.

Ears (Make 2, Color: Tabaco)

Round 1:

• Work 10 sc into a mr.
• Do not pull the magic ring completely closed; leave it slightly flattened to form a semi-circular ear shape.
• Fasten off, leaving a long yarn tail for sewing.

oPtional Accent: Flower (Color: Pink)

Base Chain:

• Ch 40.

Petal Row:

• Beginning in the 2nd ch from the hook, work the following petal sequence: [1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 hdc] into the same chain space to form a petal.
• Sl st into the next chain.
• Repeat the petal sequence across the entire chain to create a ruffle strip.
• Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail. Coil the ruffled strip into a compact flower shape and secure the base stitches with the yarn tail using a tapestry needle.

Assembly & Finished Size

1. Snout Attachment: Position the completed Kaki snout centrally on the face, placed directly between the safety eyes (spanning across Round 9 to Round 12). Pin in place and sew neatly around the outer edge using the long yarn tail.
2. Ear Attachment: Position the two Tabaco ears symmetrically on top of the head, aligning them along Round 4 through Round 6 on either side. Sew securely along the base of each ear and weave in the yarn ends internally.
3. Flower Attachment (Optional): If making the floral version, sew the assembled Pink flower next to one of the ears on top of the head.
4. Hardware Mounting: Attach a sturdy key ring or keychain clip to the top center stitch of the head (Round 1) using a jump ring or secure yarn loops.
