FREE Crochet Pattern for a small Teddy - Baby Bear Heart (Free amigurumi Patterns)

A FREE small teddy bear crochet pattern. The finished crochet amigurumi small teddy is approx 4 inches high when finished.

This little amigurumi tiny crochet teddy bear is easy to crochet making him the perfect crochet project to make for your Valentine's or indeed to give as a crochet gift Any time of the year. 
I loved making him and after posting him online you asked if there was a pattern so I quickly jotted down the pattern so I could share  

Baby Bear Heart is what I eventually called this little creation who stands 4  inches tall. 

I also have a small teddy plushie crochet pattern. This one is a little larger and is super cute too. The Crochet Teddy Plushie is a FREE crochet TOY pattern on my website HERE 

You could crochet the small teddy bear even smaller if you use thinner yarn and a smaller hook, making him perfect for making a keychain charm. 

Working with yarn in this way is fun, and you can become very creative,  but it can be tricky, so you should be confident working with tight stitches and in small rounds.

 

I also suggest learning magic circles and invisible decreasing. But these are NOT necessities to crochet this teddy.  

If you are looking for a simpler BASIC Crochet Teddy Bear Pattern 

You can see my popular beginner friendly teddy bear pattern HERE 

I made the one in the main picture (GREY) above for a friend who wanted to tell their hubby they were expecting a little girl, and asked me to crochet a small grey teddy with a pink floating heart!

He turned out so cute. The Original Tiny Teddy was made to look like Mr Beans Teddy! 

I will be making a whole load of these make and sell for the craft fairs I bet they would go like hotcakes.

This is a fab yarn stash-busting project, and you could change the color for his middle bit or even stripes! 

Tiny teddy is a really quick crochet project to make too. And you can crochet him up quickly as a last-minute gift. 

Materials

I used a 2.50mm hook. but if you're struggling useing the smaller hook 

USE a 3.50mm hook

2  eyes (If making for a child then remember to use embroidered eyes)

tapestry needle 

filling/ stuffing

If you want to make the little heart on a string you will need some red yarn and thin wire.
you will be working in single crochet,

NOTES: 

If you are comfortable working in amigurumi style I suggest you use the YARN UNDER method. (instead of yarn over, simply yarn under when you would normally yarn OVER the hook. 

* Working yarn under makes the stitching closer together and hides the ugly holes when decreasing. 

In your preferred color in double-knit yarn  

 (sc) throughout 

2sctog= work 2 single crochet together to decrease.

sc= single crochet 2sc= increase by 1 by working 2 stitches into the same stitch

Do not slip to join we will be working in a spiral if it makes it easier I use a stitch marker to help me keep track of the beginning and end of rounds. 

You do not need to know how to make a magic circle/magic loop to make this crocheted toy. 

*An alternative to working a magic circle is to chain 2 and sc the number of stitches into the first chain created.)

You can also make the ARMS and legs FIRST and join them as you go! I have a fantastic video showing  you how to work the 2 pieces together to join them

I usually pull slightly and gather this part to help create a shaped ear. 

Leave a long tail and leave it to the side, for when you are ready to position the ears and sew to head.

Position the legs to the side base of the body, secure them with pins, and sew them together. 

Position arms to sides, just below the neck. Sew head to Body. Sew Ears into place.

Sew Eyes and create a little button nose with blank yarn. or

Nose:

Rnd 1: Ch 6
Rnd 2: 2sc around 
Rnd 3: sc around.

Fasten off. And sew into position on face.
