These teddy bears are easy to make and easy to love with their happy faces and sparkling diamonds.

Pattern is originally designed for yarns Sirdar Ella and Simply Recycled because I like the way the yarn/teddy bear starts to sparkle in the evening light. This project is perfect for all sorts of leftover yarns as well. When using Sirdar Ella and Simply Recycled, you need one whole skein for legs, arms and head and about 30 grams of two colours for the tapestry crocheted body.

Body of the teddy bear is made with tapestry crochet and you can find a free tutorial for making the diamond pattern here on my Ravelry store if you like to get familiar with the technique first. The pattern itself contains lots of pictures and the technique is explained in the pattern as well.

Gauge is given for the tapestry crocheted body, you find more instructions and measurements on the pattern.

The pattern also contains an extra empty chart for designing your own patterns with this tapestry crochet technique I have created.

Hope you enjoy crocheting these little critters!
