I have used from 2mm up to 4,5mm hook size with this teddy bear pattern and it has always turned out great. I´ve created a design that looks lovely when tiny or big.

Scheepjes XL: 70% Cotton, 30% Acrylic. Gives this a bit vintage feel that I like on my teddy bears because the design has this traditional and classic look. Crochet teddy bear that lasts. 

With different safety eyes and thread to embroider noses, you can create a whole new look. 

I have been designing and creating crochet toys for more than 10 years now and if I can use only single crochet stitch to create something like this (yes, it takes time, a lot more you think or I have ever anticipated  :)), it really fascinates me, the way how to create lovely and memorable crochet toys with only single crochet stitch. Personally, I don´t need fancy and complicated stitches to create something beautiful. I want to show you that with only single crochet you can crochet up a stunning teddy bear. Simplicity is my thing. Let the teddy talk :)

Please do share your versions with Lucas the teddy on Instagram or Ravelry using tags: #lucastheteddy or @_happyamigurumi. I´d be delighted to see them all. Thanks and see you in a short time with more crochet toys and patterns.

OOAK Teddy Bear named Gustav

I´ve been learning teddy bear art for some time now even I haven´t posted any photos :) (hope to do in in near future) but first of all I would like to introduce to my very first teddy bear where amigurumi and old teddy bear making traditions are combined. He is all handmade and fully jointed - 5-way jointed with cotter pins and hard disc joints. I used glass eyes, teddy bear disc joints and natural sawdust filling. Nose is embroidered. He is tinted with oil paints. I don´t have any of the yarn left so he is unique.

New Teddy Bear PDF Pattern: Lucas the Teddy

I have made one Amigurumi Teddy Bear Pattern before and I wanted to make another as well, with legs and hands that could move easily.

It all started quite a long time ago with teddy´s legs that came out really big and a bit fat. I liked them, then they waited a couple of months to have the rest of the body.

Lucas the Teddy pattern is available in my Etsy shop and in Ravelry 
I have great news about my pattern shop. I´m using a new feature that gives an instant download to the buyer just after payment. Now you don´t have to wait for my email, Etsy will send you an e-mail with the link to the pattern download. It helps to avoid the waiting process because there are different time zones... It´s really convenient for a buyer. 

Making the pattern

As to legs and hands, I didn´t use joints, because I wanted to make a version where no joints are needed.

Making these teddy bear hands was also fascinating because I wanted hands with lovely curves - in the end, I was successful. According to the body, it was something really odd, because I have to stick with the saying that the first feeling is right. I made one version and wanted to try several ones, still stayed with the first version. 

I used 6 mm safety eyes, put them really close to each other and near to nose - gives a really cute look. The teddy bear is just the perfect size for children, for illustrating you can see photos.

I used Austermann Bambou Soft yarn: 65% merino, 35% bamboo, and 2mm crochet hook. 

Briefly, I´m really happy about the pattern. Just have to crochet the pieces separately and then join them together. And as one little girl said to me, teddy has to have a tail too. So I made one. Usually, I don´t make tails :) But it fits perfectly.

Here you can only change colors and have a different result.

I hope you enjoy it! Thank You for visiting and welcome back!

Getting to know each other!

My son was really happy to get this bear. Lucas the Teddy is named after him. We have quite many amigurumi toys at home and I think this is the best way to have toys - to make them by yourself and not to buy plastic ones :) - all handmade toys are the best toys, in my opinion.
