A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

A free Halloween crochet bear pattern for a little brown bear dressed up in an orange pumpkin costume and a pumpkin hat with a green stem and leaf. This amigurumi bear gives a cheeky wink from under its puffy hat, with round brown ears, a cream muzzle and rosy cheeks. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook; the pumpkin body gets its ridges from post-stitch ribbing and embroidered segment lines, and the bear ends up about 14 cm (5.5 in) tall. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes, just in time for trick-or-treat season.

How to crochet the Bear in a Pumpkin Costume

Advanced · 14 cm tall · about 4 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 14 pieces in rounds: Pumpkin body, Head, Pumpkin hat, Pumpkin stem, Leaf, Muzzle, Ear ×2, Arm ×2, Leg ×2, Foot pad ×2 (99 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 10 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

  14. Size before assembly: about 7.5 cm at the widest, 5 cm long; 15 rounds.
  15. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  23. Size before assembly: about 8.4 cm at the widest, 6.9 cm long; 28 rounds.
  24. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  25. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  18. Size before assembly: about 9 cm at the widest, 3.4 cm long; 17 rounds.
  19. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  4. Size before assembly: about 1.1 cm at the widest, 2 cm long; 6 rounds.
  5. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 35° around round 4<!-- the bend spreads over 2 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's right on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 4, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right <!-- st 2.01 right -->). On the inner side draw rounds 4 and 5 together (1 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 2 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.

  2. Flat motif — leaf (pointed leaf, worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 2.9 × 1.4 cm; 1 row.
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.

  5. Size before assembly: an oval about 2.6 × 2.2 cm at the widest, 1 cm long; 4 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  6. With tan: ch 3.
  7. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  7. Size before assembly: about 3.3 cm at the widest, 1.5 cm long; 6 rounds.
  8. Change to brown (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R2).
  9. → This piece is not stuffed.
  10. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside. Do not stuff. Shape it into a dish: rounds 1–3 are the front of the piece, the magic ring its centre. Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 3.1 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 4–6 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 8 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 33 mm across.<!-- (dish 50 %) -->

  8. Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 3.4 cm long; 10 rounds.
  9. Change to orange (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R3).
  10. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  9. Size before assembly: about 3.2 cm at the widest, 3 cm long; 10 rounds.
  10. Change to orange (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R4).
  11. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  3. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  4. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
