#lockdownamichallenge - No 7 - Bear

Yarn

Aldi So Crafty Knit & Purl Amigurumi Yarn - described on the box as "Light" - Equivalent to DK.

35g approx Mid Brown (MC) for Body, Arms, Legs and Ears.
15g approx Cream (CC1) for Muzzle, Ear Inserts, Foot Pads and Eye Highlight.
Small amount Dark Brown (CC2) for Nose and Mouth.
Small amount of Black (CC3) for Eyes and Claw detail.
15g approx Bright Pink (CC4) for Heart.

100% Cotton 25g = 57.5m

A cotton yarn works well for Ami as it gives good stitch de nition and creates a rm structure so
body parts hold their shape well. Any cotton/cotton mix DK should give similar results.

Hook
3 mm

Other Supplies

Yarn needle, toy stu ng, stitch marker/waste yarn.

Tension

Tension is not critical for this project but stitches should be tight enough to avoid stu ng
showing through.

Size
20cm (8 in) approx from top of head to bottom of feet.

Pattern Notes
Unless otherwise speci ed this pattern is worked in the amigurumi style, in a continuous spiral
without slip stitching or turning chains.

Use a stitch marker or waste yarn to keep track of the rst stitch of each round.

If you do not want to make a Magic Ring you can start each piece by making a chain of 2 and
then work the rst round into the second chain from the hook.

If you would like to start with a Magic Ring but don’t know how, you can nd a Photo Tutorial at:
https://mycrochetchums.weebly.com/magic-ring-photo-tutorial.html

The Bear is made of multiple separate pieces sewn together. Unless otherwise stated, nish
each piece by pulling the yarn through the last loop and leave a long tail for sewing. Any loose
tails at the end can be easily woven in.

Starting chains do not count in the total stitch count.

Change colour on the last yrh on last stitch of previous round.

Increasing and decreasing

The “invisible” techniques below are recommended to give your amigurumi a neat nish:

Invisible Increase: Work 1 dc in FLO of next st and 1 dc in both loops of same st.
Invisible decrease: Insert hook in FLO of the two stitches to be decreased, yrh, pull through
both front loops, yrh, draw through two loops on hook.

Making Up

Using the photographs as a guide, pin the pieces together first, using the long yarn tails or a
length of yarn with a yarn needle to stitch the pieces together.

Join the Body to the Head.

Join the Snout to the Head with the top of it sitting roughly in line with Rnd 12 of the Head.

fi
Sew the Ears to the Head in a curve, with the top of them roughly in line with Rnd 17 of the
Head.

Sew the Ear Inserts inside each Ear and attach the Eyes just above the Snout about 4 stitches
apart.

Sew the Nose in place on the Snout with the top of it roughly in line with Rnd 4 of the Snout.

Sew the Arms to the side of the Body, roughly in line with Rnd 17/18 of the body - looking from
the side the arms should be about in line with the Ears.

Sew the Legs to the bottom of the Body, about in line with Rnd 5 and a little forward from the
centre so the Bear can sit down.

If you want the heart to be attached, use a length of MC to stitch it to the paws so it looks like the
Bear is holding it - or you can leave it separate if you wish.

Embroidered details
Using the photos as a guide, use CC1 to embroider the highlights on the eyes, CC2 to create the
mouth and CC3 to add the claw details to the paws.`

About mycrochetchums

I started mycrochetchums at the end of 2020 to give me something to focus on during


lockdown and to make creative use of a box of Aldi Amigurumi Yarn that was an impulse
purchase I was feeling guilty about!

I’m loving creating these cute characters and sharpening my tech skills in the process as I
wrangle with managing a website and social media.

Check out the mycrochetchums Facebook page - drop me a message there if you have any
feedback about the pattern or would like to share a picture of the end result.

You can also nd me on Instagram @mycrochetchums.

Happy Crocheting!
