Little Valentine the Bear

This little bear makes such a sweet gift for someone special – whether it’s for an **anniversary**, **Valentine’s Day** or just **to say ‘I love you’**. You can, however, also make this sleepy bear **without the heart** if you prefer – or check out my **4 FREE add-on patterns** for some alternative options! The pattern is largely worked in **continuous rounds** starting with a magic ring so you’ll need to use st markers to help you keep track of your st count. The legs, body and ruff are all worked in **one piece** so there’s less sewing later, and are worked from the legs upwards. The arms, head, ears, muzzle and heart are **crocheted separately** before attaching. Finally, you’ll add a few **embroidery details** to the face. It’s a great pattern for **beginners** looking to try something new. You’ll find a **photo guide throughout** to help you visualise what you’re making and to clarify the construction and placement as you work.
