Father’s day is around the corner here and to accompany the spices set I got for my dad, I made this little chef bear! So even if the spices aren’t up his alley, there’s still this adorable little bear to brighten up the kitchen!

Materials
To make the cooking bear you will need:
– A Crochet hook, 2.5mm
– Brown, cream, white and tan yarn
– A tapestry needle and scissors
– Stuffing
– Safety eyes
– A stitch marker to help you keep track of the start of the round
Please note that you can make the cooking bear using any size crochet hook and yarn weight for a smaller or bigger result. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm crochet hook, the bear should be about 15cm-20cm tall.

Stitches & Abbreviations
The pattern is written using US crochet terms in continuous spirals. You will need to know the following kinds of stitches:
– Chaining (Ch)
– Magic Ring (MR)
– Single crochet (sc)
– Half double crochet (Hdc)
– Double crochet (Dc)
– Decrease (dec); preferably using the invisible decrease method
– Increase (inc)
– Crocheting into back loops only (BLO)
– Changing colors
