A free crochet bear pattern for a light caramel teddy that sits and hugs a big, puffy red heart to its chest. This amigurumi bear has round ears with peach insides, big shiny eyes, pink cheeks and a cream muzzle with a little embroidered smile, so it makes a sweet Valentine's Day gift. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook; the heart is a flat motif sewn on over a little stuffing, and the bear is about 13 cm (5 in) tall. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes.

- Size before assembly: about 7.3 cm at the widest, 5.1 cm long; 18 rounds.
- 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.
- Size before assembly: about 8.4 cm at the widest, 6.9 cm long; 28 rounds.
- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- 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.
- 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.
- With cream: ch 3.
- 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.

- → This piece is not stuffed.
- 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 %) -->
