These Roly Poly Bears are crocheted in one piece, which means there are no separate pieces to crochet and attach! You can use any size yarn you want, just use a size or two smaller hook than suggested for the yarn. This will help to keep the poly-fil from showing through.

For worsted weight size 4 yarn such as Red heart Super Save, Vanna’s Choice and Michael’s Impeccable use a G hook or smaller. For a bulky size 5 yarn such as Michael’s Charisma use a K hook. And for chunky size 6 yarn such as Lion Brand Hometown USA use and L hook, you will also need part of a 2nd skein of Hometown USA to make a bear.

If you choose to use safety eyes, I suggest 9mm for worsted weight yarn and 12mm for chunky and bulky yarn.

Approximate size from tail to nose with worsted weight yarn is 4”, bulky yarn 6 1/2” and chunky yarn 8 1/2”.
