Free plush teddy bear crochet pattern
Find here a free crochet teddy bear pattern to make an adorable plush amigurumi bear using soft chenille yarn. This amigurumi teddy bear pattern features a low-sew design, with the head, body, and legs crocheted in one piece to save time and minimize sewing. The remaining parts are crocheted separately and sewn on later.
This cute plush bear is made with Wolans Bunny Baby yarn and a 4 mm crochet hook, creating a soft, cuddly texture that’s perfect for handmade gifts, nursery decor, baby showers, or craft market makes. One skein of chenille yarn is enough to crochet up to three teddy bears. The finished crochet teddy bear measures approximately 14cm tall without ears.
