Materials for Ubear Cakeroll Plushie
The tutor has provided this list of materials and tools for crocheting these easy bear dessert projects. Gather all for similar results:
- Yarn: Use plush yarn in many colors — purple, white, pink/red (for Ubear), cream, and cherry. I think 2.5mm yarn will work well.
- Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm hook for the body, 3 mm hook for the ears, and smaller parts (so use 2mm thick yarn).
Other Notions:
Yarn/Tapestry Needle: Needed for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends.

Crochet Ubear Cakeroll Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: Intermediate. You will crochet two large, flat ovals as the front and back of the crochet bear roll using chain and double crochet. After the back oval is complete, change the color for the side/middle wrap by working single crochet in the back loop only, followed by double crochet to get the height of the roll. You will also need to seamlessly sew the pieces.
Finally, parts are crocheted: the ear, the nose, the cream frill (using the Popcorn Stitch technique), and the stuffed cherry, a basic crochet sphere. All facial features and toppings are then attached to the main body to complete the Ubear Cakeroll.
Tutorial-Timing: 30 Minutes only (perfect for learning oval base)
