As mentioned in other posts, one of my favourite things to do is to crochet gifts to go in Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. I especially like to make clothes and accessories for dolls. And what little dollie wouldn't love a teddy bear just her size?
These mini bears are about 3-4 inches tall and whip up in minutes. Here is the pattern.
Chenille or blanket yarn
5.5 mm hook
Ch 5
Sc in 2nd ch and each ch across (4sc)
(Should be about 2 in) ch 1, turn
Cont until piece is 6 in, ch 1, turn
Fold in half. Work through both thicknesses throughout.
(Sc, hdc, sc) 1st sc; sl st nx 2; (sc, hdc, sc) last sc.
sl st nx 3; 2 sc, ch 1, turn
Sc on these 2 stitches until piece measures 2 in (1st arm); fold and sl st down side to bottom, ch 1
Work 2 sc on 1st half of bottom (folded) edge; work in sc until piece measures 3 in (1st leg); fold
Work 2nd leg on other half of bottom edge; fold, ch 1
Sl st on other side; stuff; sl st to even with bottom of arm on other side; 2 sc, ch 1, turn; work on
these two as on other arm; fold
Sl st to bottom of ear; fasten off, leaving long end for sewing sides of arms and legs. (Option: sl
st arms and legs as you work, directly after folding)
To finish: Tie ribbon or yarn around neck; draw face in permanent marker
