Crochet Teddy Bear and Bunny

Body and Head Assembly:

  1. Attach the front paws while crocheting. Start with the left lower paw.
  • Row 1: 2 ch, 6 sc in the second chain from the hook
  • Row 2: inc x 6 = 12 sc
  • Rows 3-6: 12 sc (4 rows)
  • Fasten off and secure the yarn.

Repeat the same steps for the right paw. Then, join them together.

  1. Row 7: 1 ch, 12 sc on the left paw; join the 13th sc in the base of the first sc on the left paw; 12 sc on the chain; 12 sc on the right paw; join the 13th sc in the base of the first sc on the right paw = 28 sc.
  2. Row 8: inc (on the chain), 12 sc, 3 inc (center above the chain and adjacent sc), 12 sc = 32 sc.
  3. Rows 9-16: 32 sc (8 rows)
  4. Row 17: This row includes decreases symmetrically to the increases in row 8: sc, dec, 12 sc, 3 dec, 11 sc = 28 sc
  5. Rows 18-19: 28 sc (2 rows)
  6. Row 20: (5 sc, dec) x 4 = 24 sc
  7. Row 21: Attach the upper paws: 7 sc; 4 sc attaching the paws; 8 sc; 4 sc attaching the paws; sc. (You may need to adjust the position of the paws based on the tension of your stitches and the placement you prefer.)
  8. Row 22: (2 sc, dec) x 6 = 18 sc
  9. Row 23: (4 sc, dec) x 3 = 15 sc. Start crocheting the head.

Head:

  1. Row 24: (4 sc, inc) x 3 = 18 sc
  2. Row 25: (2 sc, inc) x 6 = 24 sc
  3. Row 26: (3 sc, inc) x 6 = 30 sc
  4. Row 27: (4 sc, inc) x 6 = 36 sc
  5. Rows 28-33: 36 sc (6 rows)
  6. Row 34: (4 sc, dec) x 6 = 30 sc
  7. Row 35: (3 sc, dec) x 6 = 24 sc

For the teddy bear:

  1. Row 36: (2 sc, dec) x 6 = 18 sc
  2. Row 37: (sc, dec) x 6 = 12 sc
  3. Row 38: dec x 6 = 6 sc, ss, close the hole, fasten off, and secure the end of the yarn.

For the bunny:
If you prefer to attach the ears afterward, rows 36-38 are worked as per the teddy bear instructions. Alternatively, you can crochet the ears directly into the head as you go along.

Muzzle:

  1. Use a double strand of yarn for the muzzle.
  2. Row 1: 2 ch, 6 sc in the second chain from the hook
  3. Row 2: inc x 6 = 12 sc
  4. Row 3: (sc, inc) x 6 = 18 sc
  5. Row 4: 18 sc. Leave a tail for attaching the muzzle and secure the yarn.

Tail:

  1. Row 1: 2 ch, 6 sc in the second chain from the hook
  2. Row 2: inc x 6 = 12 sc
  3. Row 3: dec x 6 = 6 sc, fasten off, and secure the end of the yarn.

Assembly and Finishing:

  1. Attach the ears: Position them on the head and sew them on securely, hiding the yarn ends as you go. It is recommended to use a strong, non-plush yarn (like “Iris”) to sew on the ears, so they are firmly attached.
  2. Sew on the tail and muzzle.
  3. Embroider the nose using a large needle, sew on safety eyes, and add any other details you like, such as whiskers or a scarf.
