Plush Yarn Bear Amigurumi
This soft and tactile amigurumi toy is a ballerina bear crocheted with plush yarn. The bear is dressed in a delicate pink tutu. The pattern is designed for yarns similar to Himalaya Dolphin Baby or YarnArt Velour. You can increase the length of the tutu by crocheting 1-2 more rows of single crochet without any increases. If you prefer, you can skip the tutu altogether and create a classic plush bear.
