This is Pipkin a cuddly cute little bear with big plans. He wants to be your new favourite go to bear pattern.

Bold plans right, but when it comes to cuteness and amigurumi….bears are the bold! He will have you wanting to explore your yarn stash as well as buy new yarns just to see how many new friends you can make.

The main photo shows Pipkin in bright orange, made from acrylic fleece using a 2mm hook. He measures 5.5cm seated and nearly 7cm standing. That’s just under 3 inches. (for those of you who like inches)

Pipkin is a pattern that I often use and as such I have included his friends: Robin Red (DK), Baby Blush (Chenille) and Blue ( Fleece/pile). Each offering a different look, all from the same pattern.

Gauge is not important and the pattern takes little yarn.

• Included in the pdf are full written “how to” instructions for each stitch explained before using abbreviations in the body of the pattern

• Interchangeable between British and USA terms, uses Single Crochet(USA)/Double crochet (British) and increases and decreases

• Explains how to stuff for best effect and gives detailed string jointing information for this 5 way jointed bear.

Lost a yarn label? No problem. Use the yarn information to compare yarns you have, place them onto the scan to consider starting points for the hooking options given.

For the larger bears, facial features are included as well as tips to make child friendly bears.

This is a 13 page pdf that tries to give you all that extra information you never knew you needed.

Bear making tip, use a clean brush (toothbrush on small bears) to fluff up the yarn to best effect.

I hope making Pupkin is a complete joy, I am just a message away if you need to ask a question so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if needed.

I loved designing him and can’t wait to see yours :smiley:
