Amigurumi Polar Bear Free Pattern

 

    Amigurumi Polar Bear Pattern

While I was out shopping the other day, I found some white velvet yarn that was so soft and fluffy. I was trying to think of something I could make with it, and I came up with a polar bear. This pattern would be perfect to give to a toddler or child since it's so soft and cuddly, or just to make for yourself! I used velvet yarn for this one, but you could use any type of yarn and the recommended hook size. To make sure your stitches will be tight enough to not show the stuffing inside, you may want to go down a hook size or two. This pattern is similar to my bear pattern, but with a few alterations. I hope you enjoy making it! 

Please do not copy this pattern as your own or republish the pattern in any way. If you make this bear be sure to tag me or send me pictures on Instagram, @teen_crocheter! I’d love to see your work!
