This Teddy Bear Lovey is super soft and super cute for the little baby in your life :) Colors can be altered for a boy, girl, or unisex. I think a bow on the bear would be super cute for a girl :)
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver in light blue as my main color and coffee as my contrasting color.)
Crochet hooks sizes F/3.75mm and I/5.5mm
Tapestry Needle
Fiberfill or any stuffing of your choice.
10mm safety eyes
Scrap black yarn or embroidery thread
The blanket is essentially just a 12 round granny square made using a size I/5.5mm hook. Use any granny square method you prefer. I used this pattern found on Ravelry.
Once your 12 rounds are complete, fasten off and weave in your ends. Then, taking your contrasting color, (in my case it was the color coffee,) Join in any ch 2 space with a sl st. Ch 1. Do 3 sc in the same ch 2 space and sc in each space and ch across. Do 3 sc in each ch 2 space. Join with a sl st in the beginning sc and fasten off.
Bear:
The numbers in parentheses is the number of stitches you should have at the end of each round.
Head:
Using your size F hook, do 6 sc in a magic circle. If you don't know how to to a magic circle there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube, but my favorite is this one by Mikey from the Crochet Crowd. Do not join to the beginning sc!
Round 2: 2 sc in each st around (12)
Round 3: *1 sc in first st, 2 sc in the next* around (18)
Round 4: *1 sc in first 2 sts, 2 sc in the next* around (24)
Round 5: *1 sc in the first 3 sts, 2 sc in the next* around (30)
Rounds 6-10: Sc in each st around (30)
Fasten safety eyes between rounds 7 & 8 about 1 1/4 inch apart and embroider on mouth and nose.
Round 7: *1 sc in the next 3 sts, sc dec over the next 2 sts* around (24)
Round 8: *1 sc in the next 2 sts, sc dec over the next 2 sts* around (18)
Round 9: *1 sc in the next st, sc dec over the next 2 sts* around (12)
Stuff the head firmly.
Round 10: Sc dec across next 12 sts (6)
F/O leaving a long tail for sewing. Weave the tail through remaining sts to close hole. DO NOT TRIM THE TAIL YET
Ears: (Make 2)
6 sc in magic ring (6)
Round 2: 2 sc in each st around (12)
F/O leaving long tail for sewing.
Assembly:
Sew ears to head, then sew bear to round 1 in the granny square. Make sure all ends are weaved in tightly.

Thank you for posting this pattern. One question... it says Rounds 6-10 are 1 sc in each stitch around, but then the next instruction is labeled Round 7. Is that supposed to be round 11? or is there only one round without either increases or decreases? Thanks in advance for the clarification!
ReplyDeleteYou're completely right! Thank you for pointing this out. I will fix it asap! In the meantime, I would love to see pictures of your finished products if you could send them to my Facebook or Ravelry :)
