About the Pattern

The crochet gummy bear is a whimsical, palm-sized amigurumi that uses compact shaping, distinctive puffy “bubbles,” and thoughtful stitched features to evoke the charm of classic gummy candies. Familiar sculpting stitches create snout, arms, legs, and a snub nose, while the body remains seamlessly joined for durability and a professional look. This pattern is structured for clear round progression with playful detailing and careful finishing, suitable for a wide range of skill levels. The completed bear can be enjoyed as a toy, charm, or collectible.

Pattern at a Glance

• Total rounds: 12, all completed in a spiral round
• Shape: Squat cylindrical body with defined arms, legs, and nose using creative puff/bubble techniques
• Assembly: Minimal sewing; components and features are formed during rounds, with only stuffing and closure at the end

Important Notes

• Rounds are worked continuously—do not join rounds or turn unless specifically stated. Use a stitch marker to keep track.
• Special stitches like the bubble stitch (using the front loop only) and the popcorn stitch create the iconic bear snout, arms, and legs.
• Stuffing should be added twice, for full and even shape.
• The invisible finish closure ensures a neat, seamless base.
