Crochet Halloween Bear Tutorial

Skill Level: You will crochet a basic sphere for the head. The main stitch used is the single crochet, which is worked in rounds. The tutorial also demonstrates how to create a cleaner look for color changes by using a slip stitch and chain. To shape the bear, the creator uses both increased stitches (two single crochets in one stitch) and decreased stitches (pulling through the front loops of two stitches).

The half double crochet stitch is used for the ears. Finally, the video demonstrates how to stuff the head and weave in the ends to complete the project.

Personalization Tips: The safety eyes can be placed between rounds 7 and 8. It also demonstrates a unique personalization tip by showing a bear with one “X” for an eye and a regular safety eye for the other, but notes that you can also use two safety eyes. You can further personalize the bear by using different yarn colors, including pink, purple, and green.

Pattern Type: An on-screen written pattern is available if you find written instructions easy to follow along with. The instructions are written using US terms.
