Crochet Christmas Teddy Bear Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: You will crochet the complete doll using Single Crochet (x), worked in continuous or joined rounds. Shaping is achieved through Increases (v) for pieces (legs, body, hat) and Decreases (A) to contract them. You will start each part using a magic ring and work in the round. Color changes are also needed.
Additional techniques include using Chain Stitches (ch) and Double Crochet/Treble Stitches (T) to create flat accessories, such as the scarf. Working in rows rather than rounds for the scarf is also a crucial technique. Furthermore, a crucial structural technique involves breaking yarn and connecting pieces to merge the two separate legs into the main body.
