A free crochet bear keychain pattern for a tiny honey-brown bear hugging a red heart. This amigurumi bear has round ears, a cream muzzle, rosy cheeks and a red chain loop on top for a keyring. The head and body are worked as one round ball in single crochet with fingering yarn and a 2 mm hook, then the muzzle, ears, paws, feet and heart are sewn on, and it ends up about 6 cm (2.2 in) tall. The page gives you the row-by-row pattern with stitch counts and an interactive 3D model to check every piece, so it makes a quick small gift for Valentine's Day.

- Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 5 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside. Do not stuff. Shape it into a dish: rounds 1–2 are the front of the piece, the magic ring its centre. Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 1.6 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 3–5 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 5.9 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 17 mm across.<!-- (dish 55 %) -->
