Teddy bears are one of the most favorite toys amongchildren. Kids especially love bears that they create with their own hands. There are a huge number of ways to make a teddy bear. The option when the bear is crocheted can be considered very popular. At first, many people think that such an activity is very difficult and will require a lot of time. But you just have to try and you will get a wonderful toy in the shape of a bear. In this master class we will talk in detail about how to create an amigurumi crocheted bear. Our detailed instructions will help even beginning craftswomen.Knitting a bear cub will take severalstages. First you need to connect the individual parts, and then pay attention to their assembly. We knit the elements in a spiral manner, so there is no need to create air loops. To make it easier to count stitches, we recommend marking the beginning of each row with a marker or a standard pin. For work we will need the following materials: Yarn for making a teddy bear. In our case – These are “Stretch Grass” threads. It is quite difficult to work with such yarn, so we recommend that beginning needlewomen use less fluffy material. As for yarn consumption, in our case the entire skein came in handy. If you are used to creating a fabric that is not very dense, then stock up on two skeins.

Crochet hook. The tool number will depend on the characteristics of the yarn itself.
Needle for sewing soft toys. The main criterion when choosing a needle will be the width of its “eye”. It is important that you have the opportunity to thread the yarn from which you are creating the bear through the eye.
To decorate the teddy bear's nose, you canuse 2 options: 1st – carry out embroidery (black floss threads and needle), 2nd – felting method from wool (black wool for felting and a needle number forty). We used the second method. And you will decide for yourself which method to use
You can buy teddy bear's eyes in advance.
As a filler we use cotton wool, sintepon.
Marker for marking when knitting.
Scissors.
Bright yarn to create a blouse.
4 knitting needles to tie a jacket for a teddy bear.

To make such a toy with your own hands,you need to know the features of knitting columns without a cape, and also be able to make decreases and increases. Learning to knit a teddy bear's head (one piece) First you need to make a set of two air loops (VP). For those who want to create a toy face in light colors, you need to use yarn of the appropriate color. Row No. 1. We create six columns without passing the yarn over into the 2nd loop from the base of our hook (so, you will have six loops). Row No. 2. Six times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: increase in all the loops (so, you will get twelve loops). Row No. 3. Six times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: increase in combination with a stitch without a cape (so, you will get eighteen loops).Row No. 4 – 5.You need to create crochet columns without a cape in all the loops (so, you will have eighteen loops). If the beginning of knitting was accompanied by the use of light-colored yarn, then now is the time to switch to brown Row No. 6. You should create the following combination with crochet: four single crochets, then – ten increases, then again four single crochets (so, you will have twenty-eight loops). Row No. 7. You should create the following combination with a crochet: six single crochets, then – three increases, then ten single crochets, and again – three increases, completed with six single crochets (so, you will have thirty-four loops). Row No. 8 – 11. You need to create crochet columns without a cape in all the loops (so, you will have thirty-four loops). Row No. 12. Five times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: knit four single crochets in combination with one decrease, finish by creating four single crochets (so, you will get twenty-nine loops).Row No. 13.Five times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: knit three single crochets in combination with one decrease, finish by creating three single crochets (so, you will get twenty-four loops). Row No. 14. Eight times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: knit one single crochet stitch in combination with one decrease (so, you will get sixteen loops). Then you need to carefully stuff your head with cotton wool or padding polyester. Make decreases until the hole is closed. Next, you need to cut the thread and carefully hide the tail using a hook. Learning to knit the body of a teddy bear (one piece) First you need to make a set of two air loops (VP). Row No. 1. We create six columns without passing the yarn over into the 2nd loop from the base of our hook (so, you will have six loops). Row No. 2. Six times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: increase in all the loops (so, you will get twelve loops). Row No. 3. Six times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: increase in combination with a stitch without a cape (so, you will get eighteen loops).Row No. 4.Six times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: increase in combination with two columns without a cape (so, you will get twenty-four loops). Row No. 5. Six times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: increase in combination with three columns without a cape (so, you will get thirty loops). Row No. 6. Six times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: increase in combination with four stitches without a cape (so, you will get thirty-six loops). Row No. 7 – 9. You need to crochet columns without a cape in all the loops (so, you will have thirty-six loops). Row No. 10. Carry out six decreases, and then eight times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: a stitch without a cape in combination with a decrease (so, you will get twenty-two loops). Row No. 11 – 12. You need to create crochet columns without a cape in all the loops (so, you will have twenty-two loops).Row No. 13.Seven times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: we knit one column without a cape in combination with one decrease, and you need to complete the row with one column without a crochet (so, you will get fifteen loops). Row No. 14 – 15. You need to create crochet columns without a cape in all the loops (so, you will have fifteen loops). Knitting of the body is completed. Next, there is no need to close the hole for now, leave a long thread in order to later attach the head to the body. Using this type of yarn, you can turn the piece inside out if you want the bear to be fluffier. Then fill it with filler. Learning to knit the arms of a teddy bear (two pieces) First, you need to make a set of two air loops (VP). For those who want to create a toy face in light colors, you need to use yarn of the appropriate color. Row No. 1. We create six columns without passing the yarn over into the 2nd loop from the base of our hook (so, you will have six loops). Row No. 2. Six times in a row you need to create the following combination with a crochet: increase in all the loops (so, you will get twelve loops).Row No. 3.Four times in a row you need to crochet the following combination: knit two stitches without a cape in combination with an increase (so, you will get sixteen loops). Knit in such a way that the front side is on the inside. Row No. 4 – 6. You need to create crochet columns without a cape in all the loops (so, you will have sixteen loops). Row No. 7. Four times in a row you need to crochet the following combination: knit two stitches without a cape in combination with a decrease (so, you will get twelve loops).Row No. 8 – 10.You need to create crochet columns without a cape in all the loops (so, you will have twelve loops). Row No. 11. Four times in a row you need to create the following combination with crochet: a decrease in combination with a stitch without a cape (so, you will get eight loops). Lightly stuff the parts with padding polyester. Make decreases until you close the hole. Learning to knit bear cub legs (two pieces) Row No. 1. First you need to make a set of five air loops (VP). Then you should cast on one chain stitch to perform the lift and create one sc in the 1st stitch (out of 5), then make three columns without a cape, then – 2 additions, again three columns without a cape, then – one increase (so, you will have fourteen loops). Row No. 2. You need to create the following combination with a crochet: make two increases, knit four sc, make four increases, knit four sc, make two increases (so, you will get twenty stitches). Row No. 3 – 4. You need to create crochet columns without a cape in all the loops of the previous row (so, you will have twenty loops).Row No. 5.You need to crochet the following combination: knit five stitches without a cape in combination with a decrease, then knit two stitches without a cape, knit in combination with a decrease, again – we knit two stitches without a cape, knit in combination with a decrease, at the end – five stitches without a cape (so, you will have seventeen loops). Row No. 6. You need to crochet the following combination: knit six stitches without a cape in combination with a decrease, then knit one stitch without a cape, knit in combination with a decrease, at the end – six columns without a cape (so, you will have fifteen loops).Row No. 7 – 11.You need to create crochet columns without a cape in all the loops of the previous row (so, you will have fifteen loops). Afterwards you need to fill the legs with filler. Make decreases until you close the hole.Making the design of the teddy bear's face At this pointAt this stage we will carry out equally important actions that will help shape the uniqueness of the toy. We take a needle intended for creating soft toys, thread it with the thread that was used when knitting the bear. The thread is about thirty centimeters long. Next, the face needs to be pulled together so that indentations appear under the eyes.In our case, the eyes did not have loops, butwhich we could attach them to. Therefore, I had to attach them with glue. If you provide loops, then simply sew on the eyes while tightening. Here are the eyes decorated. Let's move on to working on the nose.It can be felted or embroidered using black thread. Then you should attach the head to the body. Then – arms and legs. Let's shape the eyebrows.Now we invite you to connect an interestinga blouse for your bear to highlight its originality. We will knit it using knitting needles. We cast on thirty-four loops. Knitting is carried out according to this principle: in the front rows we create the front loops, in the purl rows, respectively, the purl ones. Row No. 1. We knit 5 knit stitches, then move on to creating one yarn over. Next we will knit one front stitch, again – cape, knit 5 knit stitches, then move on to creating one yarn over, after which we knit 1 knit stitch, again – cape, make ten knit stitches, then move on to creating one yarn over, after which we knit one knit stitch, again – cape, knit 5 knit stitches, then move on to creating the 1st yarn over, after which we make one knit stitch, again – cape Finish with five knit stitches.Row No. 2.We knit using purl stitches. Row No. 3. We knit 6 knit stitches, then move on to creating one yarn over, after which we knit 1 knit stitch, again – cape, knit 7 knit stitches, then create 1 yarn over, after which we make one knit stitch, again – cape, knit twelve knit stitches, then make one yarn over, then create one knit stitch, again – cape, knit 7 knit stitches, then create one yarn over, then knit 1 knit stitch, again – cape Finish with 6 knit stitches. Row No. 4. We knit using purl stitches. Row No. 5. We knit 7 knit stitches, then do one yarn over, after which we knit 1 knit stitch, again – cape, knit 9 knit stitches, then do 1 yarn over, then knit 1 knit stitch, again – cape, knit fourteen knit stitches, then perform 1 yarn over, then perform one knit stitch, again – cape, knit 9 knit stitches, then make 1 yarn over, then knit 1 knit stitch, again – cape Finish with 7 knit stitches.Row No. 6.Knitting should be done using purl stitches. Row No. 7. We make 8 knit stitches, then create 1 yarn over, after which we knit 1 knit stitch, again – cape, knit eleven knit stitches, then move on to creating one yarn over, after that you need to make 1 knit stitch, again – cape, knit sixteen knit stitches, then make one yarn over, then create one knit stitch, again – cape, knit eleven knit stitches, then make one yarn over, after which we knit one knit stitch, again – cape Finish with eight knit stitches. Row No. 8. We knit using purl stitches.Row No. 9.We knit 9 knit stitches, then make 1 yarn over, then create one knit stitch, again – cape, knit thirteen knit stitches, then perform 1 yarn over, after which we knit one knit stitch, again – cape, knit eighteen knit stitches, then make 1 yarn over, then create one knit stitch, again – cape, knit thirteen knit stitches, then make 1 yarn over, after which we make one knit stitch, again – cape Finish with 9 knit stitches. Row No. 10. We knit using purl stitches. Row No. 11. We knit ten knit stitches, then do one yarn over, after which we knit one knit stitch, again – cape, knit fifteen knit stitches, then make one yarn over, then make one knit stitch, again – cape, knit twenty knit stitches, then move on to creating one yarn over, after which we knit 1 knit stitch, again – cape, knit fifteen knit stitches, then perform 1 yarn over, after which we knit 1 knit stitch, again – cape Finish with ten knit stitches.Row No. 12.We knit using purl stitches. Next you need to knit ten knit stitches. This will create a shelf. Then you can move on to knitting the sleeves. For this we need an additional knitting needle. Raglan facial loops need to be created in the sleeve (seventeen loops). Then you should knit six rows of the sleeve in stockinette stitch, after – we close the loops. You need to insert a hook into the final loop and thus fasten the sleeve.Using the 1st knitting needle, knit the back stitchessweatshirts Let's move on to the second sleeve. It should be knitted in the same way as the first one. After the sleeve is completed, you next need to knit ten knit stitches. Then you should knit six rows of the sleeve in stockinette stitch, after – we close the loops. You need to insert a hook into the final loop and thus fasten the sleeve. Close the loops. Next you should move on to knitting the hood. The loops in the neck area need to be hooked onto a knitting needle.We knit using stockinette stitch untilthe required length. At the end the loops should be closed. Using a hook, you need to create a sc to the center of the hood, and then connect the parts. The thread should not be cut, but we tie the edges of the product in columns without a cape. And only then carefully cut the thread. We hide the tip.So the clothes for our little bear are ready.
