The story of this chocolate teddy bear begins (surprisingly) in the toy store. In the middle of summer we’ve lost dolls’ pram somewhere, so we needed to buy a new one. There were a lots of doll’s prams in the toy store, but in the only one a chocolate teddy bear was sitting. He wasn’t very pretty, but Victoria liked him so much, that she didn’t want to go out without him. Trying to find a compromise I promised to crochet one for her 🙂
Later I couldn’t find appropriate crochet pattern, so I decided to took the challenge and crochet one from my head. Recently, due to my job that absorb me a lot I don’t have much free time. Moreover, during crocheting this teddy bear there was a lot of unstitching. But there he is, finally! And since he was done, Victoria is sleeping with him every night. He become her lovely teddy bear named “Puszatek” (from combination of polish words for Winnie the Pooh and Teddy Floppy Ear :D). I wrote down the crochet pattern, that I share below. I will be more than happy, if someone who will use the pattern, share the final effect 🙂
Teddy bear is about 30 cm tall.
What do you need?
- 2 mm or smaller hook

I have been passionate about DIY since my childhood, and my innate patience and accuracy make the whole process of creation a lot easier for me and that gives me a lot of satisfaction and pleasure. During my first pregnancy I learnt how to sew, what resulted with few tutorials about sewing clothes for kids on the blog. In the beginning of my second maternity leave, I have learned how to crochet amigurumi from yt. I found out, that I really love it, that’s why so many blog posts describe my crochet creatures.
