ABBREVİATİONS
CH – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
HDC – Half Double Crochet
DC – Double Crochet
INC – Increase (2 stitches in 1 stitch)
DEC – Decrease (I use the invisible decrease stitch)
SS – Slip Stitch

NOTES
– Gauge is not important, but if you find you crochet loosely you may want to go down a hook size
– Due to the texture of the flutterby yarn tie a knot at the beginning of each piece of yarn before you start, this prevents the yarn from fraying at the ends
– All parts are made in the round except the scarf and boot cuffs
– Start with a chain of 2 instead of a magic ring, due to the texture of the yarn it makes it difficult to close the magic ring

• SS, fasten off and weave in loose ends

TIP:  Due to tension or using the YO/YU technique the gauge may be slightly smaller.  Check your measurements by wrapping the boot cuff around the teddy bear’s leg and make sure that the boot cuff overlaps by approximately one inch.  If it is too short, add one or two extra HDC rows to the boot cuff.

Sew each boot cuff as above images onto each side of the boot. Pin each boot cuff to the top of the boot attached to the leg. (where pink boot joins the white leg). Sew the boot cuff securely along the pink/white edge of the boot/leg with the sewing needle and thread. Carry on along the whole edge of the boot cuff, overlapping boot cuff then fasten off the thread. See the image below.

Fold each boot cuff over towards the bottom of the boot. See the images below.

Sew each leg onto each side of the body with sewing thread. Lie the bear on a flat surface and pin each leg to the body first to make sure they are level. See the image below.

• SS, fasten off and weave in loose ends

TIP:  Due to tension or using the YO/YU technique the gauge may be slightly smaller.  Check your measurements by wrapping the scarf around the teddy bear’s neck and make sure that you can tie a loose knot.  If it is too short, add one or two extra HDC rows to the scarf.

• Using one of the long pieces of yarn attached, we will be slip stitching through both pieces of the two ears to join them together.
• SS through both ear pieces in each stitch all around the ear (24sts)
• Fasten off, knot both of the yarn tails together and cut short.

Shape the ears by folding the bottom edge in on itself as seen in the image below and using sewing thread, securely sew to hold the shape. Do not fasten off as we will be sewing onto the hat/head to attach.

Attach Ears to the Hat/Head of the Bear
Sew each ear onto each side of the hat/head with sewing thread. Pin each ear onto the hat/head, make sure you are pinning through both the hat and head. When you are happy with the position of the ears, sew both ears onto your bear. MAKE SURE TO SEW SECURELY THROUGH BOTH THE HAT AND HEAD. See the image below.
