The crocheted toy resembles a kitty more than a teddy bear. The crocheted toy is quite small and you can make the toy in two different colors. First, I want to talk about the color of the toy and the yarn used. The recommended yarn brand for making the crocheted teddy bear is 4ply acrylic yarn. However, I think the crochet hook used for making the toy is quite large because I think the 3.5mm crochet hook is a bit too large for such a small toy.
Little Bear Milky and Mocha Crochet Pattern
I can easily say that the teddy bear has a detailed design, but the fact that its legs are made differently while making the toy can make your job a bit difficult. Now, if you are ready, let’s crochet the teddy bear step by step.

You can make the bear amigurumi toy using white or brown yarn, but since I prefer white in these types of toys, I crocheted the toy using white yarn. Now let’s start making the bear and crochet its head and body in one piece.
Milk Bear – head and body in white
r1: mr 6 (6)
r2: inc all (12)
r3: [sc, inc] x 6 (18)
r4: [sc, inc, sc] x 6 (24)
r5: [2 sc, inc] x 8 (32)
That will be where the front is:
r6: [3 sc, inc] x 8 (40)
r7-9: (3 rounds) sc all (40)
r10: 5 sc, 2 inc, 10 sc, 2 inc, 21 sc (44)
r11: 4 sc, 5 inc, 7 sc, 5 inc, 23sc (54)
r12: [4 sc, dec] x 9 (45)
Start stuffing
Put a stitch marker on the two inc to remember where the cheeks are
r13: [3 sc, dec] x 9 (36)
r14: [2 sc, dec] x 9 (27)
r15: [l sc, dec] x 9 (18)
r16: FLO [1 sc, inc] x 9 (27)
r17: in both loops, [2 sc, inc] × 9 (36)
r18: [3 sc, inc] x 9 (45)
r19-21: (3 rounds) sc all (45)
r22: [3 sc, dec] x 9 (36)
r23: [l sc, dec] x 12 (24)
r24: 10 dec, 4 sc (14)
Finish stuffing, fo.
The toy may seem pretty ugly right now, but after crocheting the other parts and sewing them onto the body, the toy will start to take shape. First, we will make the ears of the toy. We can see that it has extremely small ears.
Ears x 2
in white or brown
r1: mr 4 (4)
r2: inc all x 4 (8)
r3: [2 sc, inc]> x 2, 2 sc (10)
r4: sc all (10)
Slst, fo, flatten the ears
After crocheting the ears, you can sew them to the toy’s head according to the instructions. Now let’s crochet the bear’s arms. The delicate arms are crocheted in 7 rounds.
Arms x 2
in white or brown
r1: mr 4 (4)
r2: inc around x 4 (8)
r3-6: (4 rounds) sc around (8)
r7: [2sc, dec] x 2 (6)
fo, stuffy lightly leave long tail for sewing.
Finally, we will crochet the legs of the cute keychain bear. It is necessary to make increases and decreases in the legs of the toy. As you will notice, the legs have a structure that changes from thick to thin.
Legs x 2
in white or brown
r1: mr 4 (4)
r2: inc all x 4 (8)
r3: sc all (8)
r4: inc all x 8 (16)
r5: [sc, dec] x 5, sc (11)
stuff lightly
r6: 5 dec, sc (6)
r7-8: sc all (6)
fo, stuff, leave long tail for sewing
It is suggested to use felt for the face and paws of the toy and you can make the face and paws of the bear according to the instructions given in the diagram below. The designer sells them for a fee but a similar cutting process can be easily done like the photos and then you can thank the designer.
Milk felt faces
Mocha felt faces
Cut ears paws and cheeks in pink for milk
Cut ears paws in beige for mocha
Assembly
• Before sewing, face your bear where the 4inc from r11 are, that’s where the cheeks are
To give the bear puffy cheeks and oval face, sew the limbs on the right side of the body/head.
• Sew ears to the head at rounds 4-8, about 5 sts apart.
• sew the arms to the body at rounds 18-23, no sts apart
• sew the legs to the side of the body at rounds 20-23, right beside the arms. make sure the legs are on its side
