Bring home the ultimate chill vibes with this one-of-a-kind Rasta Bear Stash Jar! This fun, functional crochet project creates an adorable reggae-inspired teddy bear that doubles as a sturdy mason jar holder—perfect for keeping your goodies safe, organized, and stylish.

The finished bear stands approximately 10.5 inches tall without his iconic Rasta hat and 12 inches tall with it on. He measures about 9 inches wide and is crocheted using Red Heart yarn for that perfect soft-yet-durable feel. Every detail pops: bright green eyes with a sweet heart-shaped nose, long brown dreadlocks, a classic yellow-black-red-green Rasta hat, and a bold green cannabis leaf centered on his white belly patch. The bear’s body is designed to snugly hold a standard mason jar (jar shown in photos is for display only and not included).

This is a digital PDF pattern—38 full pages of crystal-clear, beginner-to-intermediate friendly instructions with step-by-step photos, detailed stitch counts, assembly tips, and plenty of close-up color images to guide you through every round. I’ve also included all my social links right in the pattern so you can message me anytime if you need help, have a question, or just want to show off your finished bear!

Whether you’re crocheting for yourself, as a gift, or to sell the finished item (yes, you have my permission with credit to Witch Way Works), this pattern is packed with everything you need to create a show-stopping piece that brings island energy and a smile to any space.

Pattern includes full support from me, Shandie at Witch Way Works.
