    Love ALL the sweet creatures you make. Last year I got totally addicted to Amigurumi. I made a Momma turtle & the back end of her shell has an opening for her eggs to be stuffed into. Then there's her adorable baby turtles...too stinking cute.

    Just a note to say thanks for the free pattern… I like to do that when I come across such things from a real person. Of course a part of me knows every pattern has a creator, but names and contact info aren’t always at hand. In the interest of truth I suppose I should say I am rather compelled to send these notes, my Dear Old Sainted Mother was rather a stickler for thank you notes, and promised me a good old fashion haunting should I fail. I’m inclined to believe her, to my knowledge she only lied to me once, and that at about the age of three; she told me, strait faced, the fried green tomatoes she set before me was meat with seeds. I didn’t fall for the ploy; I was three, not stupid. John

    Just have to tell you.... I made a little yellow bear just like this one 32 yrs ago for my firstborn son. He carried that bear with him for years... Once, we were traveling and he lost it...in a casino of all places! We had all the security guards searching. We never did find it and that little boy clung to my hair (of all things) until I managed to get another one made. Lots of memories in one little yellow bear. : )

    Thank you so very much for posting these free patterns. I'm new to crocheting and am really having fun with these cute characters. I also made Arthur the polar bear :). Would love to try the bunny with the cute sweater... Could you please give me a pattern? Or help me find one online? Thank you again..

    Hi Smitha,
    I'm glad you like the patterns.
    I'm not sure which rabbit pattern you mean. The World cup rabbit with the sweater is a knitting pattern by Debbie Bliss from her book Toy Knits. The Miffy bunny is a crochet pattern by Zoria which is available free. It can be accessed at http://zoriami.blogspot.com/2008/07/first-free-pattern.html
    Hope this helps,
    January

    Looking SO forward to making this bear. "Translated" the crochet instructions to American by copy and pasting it to WORD and then using find/replace option. Typed in FIND dc and REPLACE it with sc. 323 changes FYI. I'm giving all of the youngsters one of these in Brown with the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" for Christmas this year if all goes according to plan. Each will have a different bow on his neck. Wish me luck!!

    Hi! Thank you for this pattern :D
    I was just wondering if it's okay to work in a spiral without joining rounds? I'm still working at joining rounds, and it looks really sloppy when I do that >_<

  16. Janet12 July 2011 at 09:36

    Hi,
    There's no problem working in a spiral. As you say it gets rid of the joining ridge. I usually work in joining rounds as I find it easier to keep a track of each round - but it is entirely down to personal prefernce which method is used.

    Hi, and thank you for including us all in your crafty adventures! I love following your blog from America. I am attempting the Buttercup Bear (so very adorable) but am having trouble on round 2 of the head. It says I should have 12 stitches, but the stitches only add up to 9. The only way it comes out as 12 stitches is to work 2 stitches into each of the 6 stitches in round 1. I must be missing something...can you help? Thanks!

    Hi Margarita, Thanks for your lovely comment. You are quite right, there is an error in the pattern for the 2nd round for the head - thank you for spotting it and pointing it out. I have corrected the pattern - it should be 2 dc in each dc, to make 12 sts. Hope you enjoy making Buttercup Bear.
    Best wishes.

  24. Arizona mom to eight21 December 2011 at 20:21

    Hello. I am in the US, and unsure what you mean by dc2tog? In American instructions, DC is a yarn over, and with your instructions it is a single crochet, I began making a little bear for my daughter doing double crochet and he was getting huge, so I took it out and started over. I wish there were step by step picture, as the bear I am making is not small, I think I am doing something wrong, please help.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Janet22 December 2011 at 15:20

    Hi Arizona Mom,
    You are correct in saying that the dc in the pattern are the same as single crochet. I use British terms, so it can get a bit confusing I'm afraid.
    dc2tog is the same as sc2tog - single crochet two together. This is a simple decrease where two stitches are worked together to make only one stitch.
    The finished bear is approximately 11 inches from top to toes - so she is on the large size - but this makes her more cuddly!
    I hope this helps.

      HI Maggie,
      Thank you for your comment. I'm so glad you like the bears.
      Double knitting weight yarn is in between a worsted and a sports weight.
      If you used a worsted weight yarn the only difference would be that the bear would be slightly bigger than mine and you may need to use a slightly bigger crochet hook. Otherwise no problem.
      Best wishes,

    I just finished this pattern with two yarns worked together. I had some knobbly yarn that I mixed with Simply Soft. I had to use a larger hook (since the two yarns together was thicker). The bear turned out wonderful - and quite large! Right now he is sitting in the rocker in my living room...and he takes up most of the rocker!

    Hi, thank you so much for the free pattern. It's the first 3D thing I have ever attempted! My daughter goes to buttercups preschool and so I'm making him for her!
    I'm a bit stuck on the legs and I wondered if you could tell me where I'm going wrong! I'm such a novice! I'm making the 10 chains and then working the first part of the 1st round but a) I'm not making it round - it's coming our in rows and then b) I don't understand the bit about working the other side of the foundation chain! I end up with rows instead of a round that is very much short of 22dcs in total! Does that make sense?! Hope you can help or I'm going to have a legless bear!!
    Thank you again x

    I absolutely love, love, love this bear! Everytime I make a baby blanket for someone I always make this bear to match. Thanks so much for this easy and beautiful bear pattern.

    Hi! I'm from the Philippines. I love this bear so much! I just finished making mine.
    Would it be okay if I sell my bear on Etsy? Will give credit to you, of course. Thank you very much! :)

      Hi, I'm glad you like the bear. As I offer all my patterns freely, I do not allow people to sell things made from my patterns. They are for personal use only rather than for profit making. I hope you understand my position.

    I came across your bear pattern and I'm going to make one for my niece's baby. I'm basically a beginner, but I hope I can make this bear. It's so cute.

    Except for my steel hooks all my crochet hooks are sized by letters and I don't have a conversion chart. ( I could go to the library ..... ) Do you know what size a 3mm hook is in letter size ? ( such as F, G, H,.....) Thank you.

    Hello from Texas, Janet....Thank you so much for this adorable pattern. Im using a 3.25 hook and my bear is coming out a lil larger hope that's ok?...lol... I have reached the legs and im a lil confused and was hoping you would help.
    1. for rounds 6 -13 what stitch are you using? the same as the prev., row (5th)?
    2. what do you mean by shaping?
    3. and just lastly the shape of my bears body is kinda like a pineapple and my bears head is like a pear very pointy at the top...lol.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated Thank you in advance.
