Step-by-Step Details

1. Starting with the Magic Ring (Round 1)

  • Begin by creating a magic ring with six single crochet stitches.
  • Tutor’s Tip: Use loose stitches on the magic ring to prevent breaking the plush yarn when tightening.

2. Increase Stitches (Round 2)

  • Work two single crochets in each stitch around.
  • Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch for accuracy.
  • Total: 12 single crochet stitches by the end of the round.

3. Forming the Ears (Round 3)

  • Work three single crochet stitches, then create a bobble stitch (used for the teddy’s first ear).
  • Continue with two single crochets in the next stitch, followed by another bobble stitch for the second ear.
  • Single crochet on the rest of the round. Total: 15 stitches.
  • Tutor’s Tip: Ensure no stitches are hidden under the bobbles to avoid discrepancies.

4. Adding the Nose (Rounds 4–5)

  • Work single crochets around for Round 4 to maintain shape.
  • For Round 5, crochet seven single stitches followed by a bobble stitch to form the nose. Complete the round with single crochets on the remaining stitches.

5. Starting the Body (Round 6–7)

  • Begin decreasing the stitches in Round 6 by working “one single crochet, single crochet two together.” Bring the count down to 10 stitches.
  • Round 7 increases the body shape with “one single crochet, two single crochets in the next stitch” around, ending with 15 stitches.

6. Adding Facial Details (Round 8)

  • Place the safety eyes. Position them symmetrically, slightly below the ears and on either side of the nose.
  • Crochet the first limb (bobble stitch) after 5 single crochets, continue with 5 single crochets, and make the second limb (bobble stitch).
  • Complete the round with single crochets on the remaining stitches. Total: 15 stitches.

7. Hind Limbs (Round 11)

  • Crochet bobble stitches on specific points to make the hind limbs, with careful placement to complete the shaping of the teddy.
  • Maintain the stitch count and ensure consistency.

8. Final Rounds and Stuffing (Rounds 12–End)

  • Continue decreasing in Round 12 (“single crochet, single crochet two together”) to bring the stitch count to 10.
  • Stuff the teddy with polyfill to shape the head and body.
  • Final round involves closing the bottom with “single crochet two together” in every stitch until 5 stitches remain. Use a slip stitch to secure the work and tuck the yarn ends inside.

Tutor's Suggestions

  • Always use a stitch marker to keep track of the rounds and avoid losing your place.
  • For plush yarns, work with loose tension to prevent tearing.
  • Carefully count the stitches in each round to maintain pattern accuracy.
