Valentine Bear Free Crochet Pattern

Valentine Bear Free Crochet Pattern

Valentine Bear Crochet Pattern by Crochet For You.

Here is a last minute gift for valentines day.
Please welcome crochet valentines bear!. 😀 Isn’t he too cute to crochet? He is holding a little red heart to show how much he loves you.

This Valentine bear is very special to me, too. It is the first perfect amigurumi pattern I made. I have a little experience crocheting amigurumi. The Heart Angel I shared last week want me to make more amigurumi patterns.

I have shared lots of ragdoll style crochet amigurumi patterns.

They are simple shaped, stuffed flat and two-dimensional softies. You can check out my Spring Chick and the Christmas Ornaments I made for last 2 CAL’s.

This year, my plan is to give try to make more amigurumi patterns, of course, I’ll share them with you too (if they turned out well). 😉

I hope you love this cute little Valentine Bear. If you haven’t tried yet to crochet amigurumi, but you really want, I have included lots of step by step photos for this pattern.

    I fell in love with this little one and tried to chroset it but unfortunately I did not quit understand the pattern. After makeing the head there come the legs How to make the body ?

    • Erangi Udeshika

      Ohh.. Thank you so much Mirja for letting me know about this. It was a huge mistake. I just fixed and updated the pattern. I’m so sorry. Hope you will continue the pattern from where you stopped. Thank you again!

    I’m a huge fan of patterns that connect the head to the body and then the legs so I don’t have to sew them on. Sometimes I even adapt them to avoid sewing so I really love the ones that do it for me. An adorable bear.
