I’ve decided to share one of my most popular patterns with everyone, for free. This was actually my very first try at writing amigurumi patterns. I sold quite a few of these on etsy, not sure if that’s because it’s such a great pattern or because it’s such a bargain. Oh well, doesn’t really matter. So here it is – the slightly modified Tiny Amigurumi Bear Pattern….

Embroider the face on a small piece of felt and sew it on. To make a dimensional muzzle, cut a circle from felt that is twice the diameter of your intended muzzle. Embroider nose and mouth, then gather with thread 1/8 of an inch away from the edge of the circle. Stuff with a small amount of fiberfill. Flatten and attach to head.
ears (make 2)
ch 2, 5 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Do not join. This will look like a semi-circle. Attach to head.
