Both children and adults love the touching Teddy bear.
Appearing in the toy world, he immediately won popular love. You can buy a bear in a store, but how much cuter and more expensive it will be if you knit it yourself with an ordinary crochet hook from wool or cotton yarn.

The first Teddy bears were made with a moving head, paws and legs. But such complex toys can only be knitted by very experienced craftswomen. We’ll talk about simpler Teddy bears that even beginners can make.

The traditional color of the Teddy bear is gray and blue, which is what needlewomen try to stick to in their work. Although bears appear in other colors, they are also very charming and attractive. Talented knitters come up with new clothes, jewelry and accessories for Teddy that make everyone’s favorite bear fashionable and modern. It’s not difficult to crochet a Teddy bear, you just need work and patience. But as a result, you will get the whole family's favorite toy. To make a bear you will need:

• Wool or cotton yarn, hooks of different sizes.
• A piece of fabric for patches.
• Sintepon, floss threads, buttons, ribbons, beads and seed beads.

The procedure for knitting a teddy bear is the same as for other knitted toys:

• The body, head, muzzle, ears, paws and legs are crocheted according to the pattern.
• The connected parts are stuffed with padding polyester and sewn together.
• The eyes and nose are sewn on and the mouth is embroidered.

To make your knitted bear cub charming and beautiful, we will give you some tips on how to create it:

• For stuffing, use only padding polyester. Over time, the cotton wool will crumple and ruin Teddy's appearance.
• The eyes and nose of the bear can be sewn on in the form of buttons or purchased ready-made at a craft store.
• Try to knit the fabric tightly. Use a hook with a thickness less than the thread.
• To make your knitted Teddy look cute and touching, sew his eyes close together.
• The little bear will become even more charming if you provide him with clothes by knitting a hat, scarf and sweater.

Not only children are delighted with knitted toys. Adults are also very happy when they receive such an unusual and original gift. However, in order to connect the intended character, it is important to have special skills. Which beginner masters lack. Therefore, in this article we propose to study the technology of crocheting a teddy bear.

Where to begin

Experienced needlewomen say that knitting toys is a very fruitful activity. And not only because it allows you to keep yourself busy creative work. Much more important is that the result is an amazing and original creation that will delight all family members and, first of all, the needlewoman herself. Therefore, those who once dared to do knitted toy, forever fall in love with this technique.

Professional craftsmen note that it is much more convenient to perform various crafts using a hook rather than knitting needles. They also say that knitted bears are the most popular. However, in order to really do beautiful craft, you need to prepare. The first step is to decide which bear you want to knit. It could be a Teddy bear, the Soviet Olympic Bear, Umka, or even a talking bear from the American comedy "Ted". In the material presented below, we will look in detail at how to crochet a Teddy bear. After all, it is he who is the most popular toy.

Yarn selection

Knitted toys are made using the amigurumi technique. We study the features in detail below. For now, let’s look at the most suitable knitting threads for the job. Experienced craftsmen We are convinced that acrylic yarn is best suited for the craft we are studying. If the product is being prepared as a gift for a child, it is wiser to consider children's yarn. Among which it is easy to choose suitable color. In this case, we need gray for the main one, white for the muzzle, blue for the nose, black for stitching the parts. In this case, it is better to choose skeins from one company. But it’s better not to use fluffy or multi-layered yarn. At least for beginning needlewomen. It's uncomfortable to work with her. In addition, a crocheted teddy bear may turn out to be too holey. That is, the filler will be visible through the knitted fabric. The product will look sloppy and, accordingly, ugly.

Search for a hook

Experienced needlewomen advise taking special care and scrupulousness in choosing the tool that will be used to knit the intended product. Traditionally, for various things, knitters use a hook equal to the thickness of the thread. However, the amigurumi technique has its own characteristics. And the hook size refers specifically to them. Craftswomen who knit toys professionally say that crocheting a teddy bear should be done in such a way that the knitting is as tight as possible. Therefore, it is wiser to consider a thinner instrument. You need to focus on the selected yarn. Also, you should not buy too much long hook. The ideal one is the one that fits well in the hand.

Additional items

Many beginning needlewomen, having decided to make a knitted toy, think for a long time about what filler to choose for stuffing their craft. Experienced craftswomen are convinced that it is best to fill a crocheted small or large teddy bear with holofiber. This will allow you to wash it if necessary and dry it without any problems. It is better not to use cotton wool or batting. This material will dry for a very long time, flowing down, leaving red-brown marks on the toy. In addition, the bear will be quite heavy.

It is also worth noting that professional knitters purchase filler in large quantities in a specialized store. Because they need to fill a lot of toys. If the reader just wants to master a new skill or try his hand at a technique of interest, you can use the inside of a gutted pillow or an unnecessary blanket as stuffing. You can also put scraps of fabric into a crocheted teddy bear. But in this case, the craft can also turn out to be heavy. In addition, it will not be very convenient to wash it.

"Magic" amigurumi ring

Perhaps the reader has heard about the term that we formed in the title of the current paragraph? If not, we will explain that the amigurumi ring is another feature of this technique. Knitting any craft begins with it. Including our little bear. However, it does not involve any difficult actions. Next, we invite readers to study detailed instructions on implementation amigurumi rings:

1. First of all, we take the prepared yarn.
2. And wrap the thread around your index and middle fingers.
3. The result is a loop.
4. Which must be carefully removed.
5. And tie it with six single crochets.
6. Connect the first and last loop.
7. And then carefully pull off the middle of the resulting circle.
8. To do this, you need to pull the beginning of the thread.
9. This is how we started crocheting an amigurumi bear.
10. In the next row we need to double the number of stitches. To do this, we knit from each column bottom row two new ones.
11. Then we knit three rows according to specific instructions.
12. And turn the circle to the other side. Thanks to this, the initial thread will be inside the bear cub.
13. We carry out further work, also moving in a circle, but in the other direction.

Torso-base

Having carried out competent preparation and having analyzed all the features of the technique being studied, you can begin crocheting a teddy bear. Work begins with the completion of the largest detail - the body of the bear. To do this, take the main yarn and carefully study the sequence of actions described below:

1. We make a loop, forming an amigurumi ring, and tie it with six single crochets.
2. In the first row, from each loop of the bottom row we knit two new ones.
3. In the second, we increase through one single crochet, in the third - through two.
4. In the fourth row, we knit two single crochets from one loop of the bottom row, maintaining an interval of three stitches.
5. We knit the next five rows without changes, just moving in a circle.
6. In the tenth row we make the first decreases. We knit two single crochets and fasten them with a single loop. The interval is one column.
7. Further description of the crocheted teddy bear involves simply crocheting the current number of loops. Therefore, we knit five rows without increases or decreases.
8. In the fifteenth row we make a decrease, maintaining an interval of five columns.
9. Then we stuff the bear’s body with the prepared filler.
10. We knit the sixteenth row, decreasing through one column.
11. Work is done!

Bear head

In the next part of the instructions on how to crochet a bear cub, we will analyze the technology for performing the most important part of our craft. To do this, we prepare yarn of two colors. Since we are starting work from the spout, we take a white knitting thread. Then we dive into the creative process, following the description:

1. In the second row we make an increase every three columns.
2. We knit the third and fourth row in the round without changes.
3. We switch to gray yarn.
4. In the fifth and eighth rows, we double the number of loops, knitting two new stitches from each loop of the previous row.
5. In the sixth we make an increase through one column.
6. In the seventh - through two columns.
7. We knit the next four rows without changes.
8. Next, we begin to cut the loops. In the thirteenth row we make a decrease through three columns.
9. We simply knit the fourteenth and fifteenth rows.
10. In the sixteenth we make a decrease through two columns.
11. In the seventeenth - through one column.
12. We knit the next row without changes.
13. In the nineteenth we decrease half the loops.
14. We knit the twentieth without changes.

Ears for a bear

Experienced needlewomen say that it is not at all necessary to crochet a Teddy bear. Beginners can use the described technology to make any other white or brown fluffy. If you wish, you can even knit a panda. You just need to choose knitting threads of the appropriate colors. Of course, no bear cub can do without ears. Therefore, next we will find out how to complete this detail:

1. Work begins with knitting an amigurumi ring.
2. Then divide the number of loops by three.
3. We knit 2/3 of the ear in increments through two stitches.
4. The remaining 1/3 with connecting posts.
5. Repeat the last two steps one more time.
6. Next, we knit 2/3 of the eyelet three rows without changes with simple stitches, and 1/3 with connecting stitches.
7. According to the instructions described, we prepare two parts.

Upper legs

If you look closely at the bear cubs, crocheted, you will notice that the upper and lower legs differ in size. Therefore, you should knit two parts at a time, and not all four identical ones. First of all, we study the technology for making the upper legs or handles:

1. Forming an amigurumi ring.
2. We make an increase through two columns, and in the next row - through three.
3. After four rows we knit without changes.
4. We knit the twelfth and thirteenth rows without changes.
5. In the fourteenth we cut half the loops.
6. Break the thread and pass through the remaining loops.

Lower legs

At this point we study the technology for making the legs of our bear:

1. First of all, we form an amigurumi ring.
2. We make an increase through one column, and in the next row - through two.
3. After six rows we knit without changes.
4. In the seventh row we make a decrease through two columns.
5. From the eighth to the eleventh row we make decreases at intervals of three columns.
6. We knit the next three rows without changes.
7. In the fifteenth row we decrease through three columns.
8. Then we knit two rows without changes.
9. In the eighteenth year we cut half the loops.
10. Break the thread and pass through the remaining loops.

How to make a bear that can stand

1. Work begins with the formation of an amigurumi ring.
2. Then we knit a circle of the required size.
3. Having achieved what we want, we knit the piece in height. We just move in a circle without increases or decreases.
4. Then we gradually reduce the loops. Professional craftsmen say that it is better to record the initial addition of loops and complete the part in the same way. That is, make decreases instead of increases.

If the reader liked this description more, it can be used when knitting the upper legs. But we would like to remind you once again that the lower legs should be larger than the upper ones! It is also important to mention that regardless of which option the reader prefers, the paws will need to be well padded.

Collecting the teddy bear

When all the details are ready, you can move on to the final part of our instructions. On it we have to use a needle and thread and sew the upper and lower legs and head to the body. The ears should be attached to the last part. It should also be supplemented with eyes. Moreover, for these purposes you can use simple black beads or ready-made eyes. You can buy them at any craft store. You can also make “live” eyes yourself if you wish. Experienced needlewomen prefer to knit them, starting with an amigurumi ring and continuing to add to the desired size of the circle. Beginners glue eyes from colored cardboard. After which both options are covered with a thick layer of Momenta glue. Dry and use as intended. The nose for the teddy bear can be knitted, embroidered or made in the same way as the eyes. In any case, it is important not to forget to supplement the finished craft with edges and constrictions representing fingers.

Teddy bear highlight

We have presented to your attention a master class: “Crochet a teddy bear.” However, it is finally important to note: those who decide to knit a Teddy bear cannot do without one more step. Sloppy patches on the side, paws or head of the teddy bear. To do this, it is best to use a piece of felt. contrasting color. Although you can also knit square patches.

Knitted toys are becoming increasingly popular every day. They are easy to do. But if the needlewoman has imagination and the necessary knowledge and skills, she can create a real masterpiece.
