Probably you still remember the chocolate teddy bear in the maxi version, the crochet pattern of which I published on the blog some time ago. If not, then I encourage you to have a look here. That teddy bear is quite large (30 cm), and because I like to crochet teddy bears, I decided to create his smaller brother. Interestingly, in the meantime I was also crocheting a panda of a similar size (18 cm), but I lost a piece of paper with a pattern written on it. Therefore, there was nothing else for me to do but recreate the pattern. So here it is! Enjoy!
Don’t remember to tag wytenteguj on the photos of your amigurumi crocheted from our patterns 🙂 Every time you do it, we are very pleased that our efforts are not wasted. And you must know that creating a pattern is a real challenge, because it often involves ripping and re-crocheting the same element several times 🙂

Final effect
At the end sew all elements together using yarn needle and left yarn.
Due to the fact that my nephew picked out the “safe eyes” of one of my teddy bears, I decided to do embroidered eyes. It is undoubtedly much safer. I used black and cream yarn to sew the eyes. The effect seems quite interesting 🙂

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.
