Valentine Bear Free Crochet Pattern
Valentine Bear Crochet Pattern by Crochet For You.
Here is a last minute gift for valentines day.
This Valentine bear is very special to me, too. It is the first perfect amigurumi pattern I made. I have a little experience crocheting amigurumi. The Heart Angel I shared last week want me to make more amigurumi patterns.
I have shared lots of ragdoll style crochet amigurumi patterns.
They are simple shaped, stuffed flat and two-dimensional softies. You can check out my Spring Chick and the Christmas Ornaments I made for last 2 CAL’s.
This year, my plan is to give try to make more amigurumi patterns, of course, I’ll share them with you too (if they turned out well). 😉
I hope you love this cute little Valentine Bear. If you haven’t tried yet to crochet amigurumi, but you really want, I have included lots of step by step photos for this pattern.

I fell in love with this little one and tried to chroset it but unfortunately I did not quit understand the pattern. After makeing the head there come the legs How to make the body ?
Erangi Udeshika
Ohh.. Thank you so much Mirja for letting me know about this. It was a huge mistake. I just fixed and updated the pattern. I’m so sorry. Hope you will continue the pattern from where you stopped. Thank you again!

Your patterns will not print. There are several overlaps and it all comes out gibberish.

I’m a huge fan of patterns that connect the head to the body and then the legs so I don’t have to sew them on. Sometimes I even adapt them to avoid sewing so I really love the ones that do it for me. An adorable bear.
