I’m very confused on the leg. I’m still a beginner and the leg instructions are confusing to me. Anyone help? Or is there a video ?
Hi there! If you still have problems understanding the legs or amigurumi in general, here’s the link to a website that helped me a lot. The person has a lot of helpful tips and videos of other people explaining all the different techniques. If you scroll down a bit, you’ll find the link to a tutorial on building oval shapes : https://www.allaboutami.com/amigurumiforbeginners/
Hope it helps! (it helped me alot in the begininning and I’ve been crocheting only for 1 year)
Happy teddy bear making 🙂
I was a bit confused about the legs too, so what I did was just made the arms again just adding two more rows after Row 13 sticking with the 10sc. then F.O
I was confused too i had to draw it out to understand what was going on then i wrote it out so it made sense. Maybe you can do that too. If you still need help
While i Understand its a free pattern.. why is there not further directions as to how to put it together.
I was wondering the same thing
Hi, can you please confirm if we are crocheting in the round on rows please. i feel the head needs to be round/ball shape but do we sew it together in to a ‘ball’ shape, Oh dear I haven’t got very far, I have done the head half way about 4 times!!
Look forward to hearing from you, many thanks Charlotte
I wish you had videos for your patterns… It’s so much easier to just follow along… I love love love your teddy bears… and would love to make them for my grandchildren… I have a hard time reading and understanding written patterns… I’m a self taught, follow along, crochet gal… please consider one teddy bear video… 😊
I actually made this really easily.
But why no putting together instructions. Just placement for the facial features would help.
It would be very helpful if you could tell me also the placement of the facial features also.
Hello! I’m just curious, what would I have to do if I want my bear to be like four times the size of the one in the plan..?
Thanks for any help/advice In advance! 😊
I also had trouble with the legs
only i just followed the pattern
R1 and R2 was easy
R 3 I thought how
I have 3x 2 sc in a single crochet 2 sc
again 3x 2 sc in single crochet and crochet the rest through.
Row 4 and 5 crochet two rounds
row 6 crochet 3x sc together 2 sc
Crochet 3x 1 tog again and continue the rest
So is the ch2 and then 6sc tge same as magic ribg with 6 sc?!
Yes, it is the same.
Yes
where do you place the eyes?
Where can we get the pattern for the hat?
