Make an adorable fuzzy bear belt bag with this crochet pattern! This bag has a zipper closure, and can hold your phone and a few small essentials. Change up the face and the colors to make your own unique bear. Use chenille or plush yarn to copy the look. Make it with a buckle so you can easily switch between wearing it on your chest or on your hips.

Pattern level: Intermediate. The crochet itself is simple, but the different textures of the yarn make sewing on the parts a bit tricky for beginners. The zipper also adds to the difficulty level.

Sizes included: one size, approx 5 inches tall and 7.5 inches wide

Materials needed:

• super bulky (weight 6) yarn, either chenille or plush texture
• worsted (weight 4) yarn for the face and strap
• 6mm, 4mm, and 3.5mm hooks
• yarn needle
• 9 inch zipper
• sewing thread & needle, plus some pins or clips
• a 1 inch buckle
