This little Bear is inspired by vintage toy designs, with the classic bear shape face and arms with a string joint so you can move them around. A handmade Vintage Bear in soft modern pastels would make a lovely gift for any new arrival too!

This pattern is written in US crochet terms, with added pictures to help along the way. There are step by step photos detailing how to begin crochet, assemble the parts and finish the object.

You’ll need to know how to:

• make a Magic Ring
• work a round
• single crochet
• increase & decrease
• chain stitch
• slip stitch

Finished bear will measure around 17cm/6”7’ when made in Debbie Bliss Eco Baby with 3.5mm hook. You will need 45g for Main Colour and less than 5g Contrast Colour, plus 7.00mm safety eyes. This project should take around 3-4 hours. Please get in touch with me if you need more explanations at any stage, I’m always happy to help!
