A free crochet pocket hug pattern for a tiny round bear that holds a puffy pink heart just below its smiling face. This amigurumi bear is one caramel ball with small cream-lined ears, a cream muzzle, rosy cheeks and stubby paws wrapped around the heart, so it fits in a card, a lunch box or a coat pocket. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, stands about 6 cm (2.5 in) tall with 7 mm safety eyes, and the ears, muzzle, paws, feet and heart are sewn on. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to check every piece.

- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.

- Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 4 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 1.9 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 3–3 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 8 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 23 mm across.<!-- (dish 50 %) -->
