Step 1: Crochet the Head
Start with a magic ring and crochet single crochet (SC) stitches into it. Continue working in rounds, increasing stitches gradually to make the head wider. Once you reach the desired size, crochet a few rounds without increases.
🧸 Step 2: Shape the Head
Begin decreasing stitches gradually to close the top of the head. Before completely closing it, fill the head firmly with fiberfill stuffing. Finish the decreases and secure the yarn.
🧸 Step 3: Make the Body
Create another magic ring and work in single crochet rounds. Increase stitches to make the body wider, then continue crocheting without increases to create the teddy’s body length.
🧸 Step 4: Stuff the Body
Gradually fill the body with fiberfill as you crochet. Make sure the stuffing is evenly distributed but not overly tight. Decrease stitches toward the top and close the opening.
🧸 Step 5: Crochet the Ears
Make two small round or semi-round pieces using single crochet stitches. Fold or shape them slightly and sew them securely onto the top sides of the teddy’s head.
🧸 Step 6: Make the Arms
Crochet two small arms using single crochet stitches worked in rounds. Add a little stuffing, then decrease and close the ends. Sew both arms onto the sides of the body.
🧸 Step 7: Make the Legs
Create two legs using the same basic crochet technique. Add stuffing and close them neatly. Attach the legs to the bottom of the body, making sure the teddy can sit properly.
🧸 Step 8: Add the Face
Attach safety eyes or embroider the eyes using black yarn. Embroider a small nose and mouth to give your teddy a cute expression.
🧸 Step 9: Assemble Your Teddy
Use a yarn needle to securely sew the head, arms, ears, and legs onto the body. Check that all parts are firmly attached.
