Crochet Plush Teddy Bear

Free Masterclass: Crochet Plush Teddy Bear by Darya Baysh (@dariya_bayush)

In this free masterclass, you’ll learn how to crochet a plush teddy bear wearing a scarf using a crochet hook. This pattern works well with any plush yarn and an appropriate crochet hook. You can use cotton or half-cotton yarn for the scarf. All parts are crocheted in a spiral, and the paws are sewn on, but if you prefer, you can crochet them directly into the body.
