Star Bear

Free pattern page + free printables (adoption certificate & gift tags) for download: https://www.sweetsofties.com/2026/06/star-bear.html The Star Bear is an easy, no-sew amigurumi pattern that takes less than 25 minutes to make from start to finish! This quick bear doll resembles the shape of a chubby star (or perhaps a potato with stubby limbs). It is designed with bulky plush chenille velvet yarn but can be made with thinner yarns for a smaller result. Its small size is perfect for a keychain charm or as a craft fair claw machine product. You can make these mini bears as birthday presents, party favors, Valentine’s Day class gifts, and stocking stuffers too! The PDF pattern includes a link to the video tutorial as well as photo references to guide beginners through the project. Included is also a set of printable gift tags as well as a bear-themed adoption certificate. **TIME** Approximately 23 minutes for a familiar crocheter to make from start to finish (including the finishing details) **SIZE** Height: approximately 2.75” **MATERIALS** Bulky weight 5 yarn in desired color (I used 14 yards/42 feet of LBY Posh Twist) 5mm crochet hook 6mm black safety eyes Small scrap of white felt for muzzle Thread for embroidering the nose/mouth Sewing needle Stuffing Scissors **LEVEL** ★★☆☆☆ Familiar Beginner.
