Crocheting amigurumi is fun, but sewing is blah… Right? If you think so, you need to start working on this teddy bear right now. A special construction and a few tricks will let you enjoy the crocheting process and skip the no-fun part.

The bear comes in two versions – the standing one and the sitting/standing one (with movable legs). The first doesn’t require any special notions, for the second one, you’d need plastic joints.

• yarn: 100% polyester (but other fibers work well, too), bulky weight beige
• hook: 4mm
• two sets of plastic joints or two 15mm buttons (optional)
• 8mm safety eyes and 15mm safety nose
• stuffing
• sewing needle
• scissors
