Crochet Santa White Bear Amigurumi Tutorial
Skill Level: Beginner – Intermediate. The polar bear body starts from the head to the body with a magic ring, followed by single crochet, increase, and decrease for the head.
Before starting the body, you will crochet the arm in FLO using the combination of cluster stitch, one stitch, and BLO insertion.
The legs also use the same pattern as the legs. The ears are simply a crochet circle without a slip stitch join that needs sewing onto the head.
Place the eyes correctly using glue. For the hat, you will need color changes and a double crochet increase pattern by working in the round.
Tutorial timing: Approximately 25 minutes (worth watching as you will learn the popular no-sew animal body pattern that can be used for crocheting kawaii cat, dog, and other bears with just color-change and embroidery.
You will learn the crochet Santa hat pattern that can be customized for a large wearable size, plus how to crochet the limbs and puff stitch.)
Personalization tips: Crochet a small rectangle and small fringes on both sides, crochet a tiny Christmas scarf for your finished polar bear amigurumi.
You can also crochet a grizzly and panda version of this plushie just by switching the color. Since the hat is much smaller, always use the thinner yarn. For the hat, you can also use a tiny pom pom in the top.
