Easy Amigurumi Bear Crochet Pattern - Beginner Friendly (PDF Download)

This was a joy to make. I'm 15 and taught myself from YouTube, and this one still taught me something. I left out the chubby belly by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer.

Cutest thing I've ever made. I'm a grandma of six and I had no trouble at all. Gave it to my dog-obsessed sister. I've been asked for four more. Made it in a weekend with Bernat Blanket.

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. This got me out of a crochet slump.

I've already made three of these. Made two: one for my niece and one that is NOT leaving my house. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run.

It's fine. This was my very first amigurumi so I was nervous, but it went fine. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. The stitch count on one round of the round ears didn't match for me (could be my error).

Five stars, no notes. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. I liked that the color changes for the little paws are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. The shaping on the muzzle is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.

Okay WOW. This was my very first amigurumi, and this one still taught me something. My Bear came out about 6 inches tall using Bernat Blanket. Customers at my booth keep asking which one is the Bear.

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. Crochet is my anxiety outlet, and this one still taught me something. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Finished in a snow day. The muzzle is my favorite part. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.

This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. I crochet on my breaks and this was perfect for me. The instructions are written round by round with stitch counts at the end of every row, so I always knew if I'd messed up. Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy. Took me two nights start to finish including sewing on the little paws. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.

Cutest thing I've ever made. I'm getting back into crochet after 20 years and I had no trouble at all. The round ears and the chubby belly are what make it look like an actual Bear instead of a blob. Way better written than the free version I tried first. Go get it.

Five stars, no notes. I made it in cotton DK and the chubby belly still came out crisp. I've bought Bear patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished.

Five stars, no notes. Gave it to a classroom prize box. I've been asked for four more. Will be making this again.

Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? The proportions are spot on. The muzzle is the perfect size. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. I checked and the shop allows selling finished items, which is why I bought it. Will be making this again.

Yes. Just yes. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. If you're on the fence, buy it.

Five stars, no notes. I've been crocheting for 30+ years, and this one still taught me something. Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. My daughter squealed. Mission accomplished. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. Chef's kiss.

Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? The proportions are spot on. The round ears is the perfect size. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin. Go get it.

This Bear came out SO cute. Made two: one for my best friend and one that is NOT leaving my house.

Solid pattern. I'm getting back into crochet after 20 years so I was nervous, but it went fine. This one's for the nursing home craft table. Already planning the next one. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Took me longer than I expected, but that's probably on me.

Okay pattern. Used sock yarn and a 2mm hook for a mini version and it came out small enough for a keychain. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. I expected more hand-holding for a 'beginner' pattern on the chubby belly section.

Hands down the best Bear pattern out there. I crochet between classes, and this one still taught me something. Download link came through instantly after checkout. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. The instructions are written round by round with stitch counts at the end of every row, so I always knew if I'd messed up. It went to my dog-obsessed sister and now the whole family wants one. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

Hands down the best Bear pattern out there. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. Will be making this again.

Absolutely adorable. Used velvet yarn (not recommended for beginners!) and it came out a chunky 10 inches with bulky yarn. Highly recommend.

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. I crochet on my breaks and I had no trouble at all. Very satisfying little project. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. It went to my book club swap and now the whole family wants one. The muzzle and the little paws are what make it look like an actual Bear instead of a blob. Thanks for a great pattern!

I screamed a little when I finished the face. Added a keychain loop to the top, now it lives on my bag. Gave it to my twin nephews. I've been asked for four more. Buying the whole set next.

Could not be happier with this. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run.

Bought this on a whim and I'm so glad I did. I make toys for the children's ward, and this one still taught me something. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). It was for my twin nephews and it was the hit of the party. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. Made it in two nights with chunky chenille. My new go-to gift.

My Bear is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. I'm 15 and taught myself from YouTube and this was perfect for me. Great TV-watching project. Took me about 4 hours start to finish including sewing on the round ears.

This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. The muzzle is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Chef's kiss.

Could not be happier with this. I'm newly retired and finally have time and this was perfect for me. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. Download link came through instantly after checkout. Will be making this again.

Happy overall. I sell at craft fairs so I was nervous, but it went fine. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. Made two: one for my dog-obsessed sister and one that is NOT leaving my house. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead.
