Here is a cute new teddy bear pattern I crocheted. It’s a free pattern at Blumenbunt blogspot. The pattern is available in English and German. Here is the direct link for the English version of the Easy-Peasy Teddy Bear pattern.

Here is the first one-piece bear I crocheted using the pattern as written.

I found my edges difficult to keep straight but you really can’t tell once it is stitched together and turned inside out. So next I crocheted the pattern a second time but in two pieces. I didn’t leave the arms connected on this one as shown in the photo below.

Here is the final product of the 2 piece teddy bear.

I found the second bear worked in two pieces much easier for me to complete. You really couldn’t tell in the first bear that my rows were a little off but I fussed with it much too long trying to get it just right. In the end it really doesn’t matter but I found the 2-piece bear easier to crochet with less stress.

Overall length of the both bears were about 9 inches tall. I really do love this crochet pattern and will be crocheting it again… In two pieces!
