FREE PATTERN: Heart Teddy Bear

Good Morning from Germany!

As you might have guessed from my last posts, I am really busy making Teddy Bears these days. I tried some patterns from the Internet but most them them involved so much sewing on! And I am very bad with sewing the parts together. Very, very bad.

So I decided to make up a pattern for a Teddy Bear which involves as little sewing as possible. The following pattern only requires the ears and the snout to be sewn on. The rest is crochet in one piece/crochet together.

I am publishing the pattern for free and hope you enjoy making Teddy Bears from it. Should you like the pattern, I am asking you to donate a Teddy to a refugee child (or send some money donation to a charity which helps refugees). Thank you!

Oh and I would simply LOVE to see your finished Teddy Bear! Send us a pic, share it on our Facebook or on Instagram (hashtag #crochetbetweenworlds ! :)

Please drop me a note, if you find any mistakes in the pattern. You can also contact me via crochetbetweenworlds@gmail.com if you need help with the pattern.

Take care

Anne
