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

Free crochet polar bear pattern: a Polar Bear Cub with Cocoa amigurumi, about 14 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. The white cub sits hugging an oversized red mug of cocoa topped with marshmallows, wearing a blue beanie and a blissful sleepy smile. You need about 130 m of yarn: 90 m white, 15 m blue, 15 m red, 5 m brown and 5 m beige. Plan on roughly 4 hours. A cosy gift for hot chocolate fans and a sweet shelf companion through winter. Turn the 3D model around to see how the mug is held and follow the round-by-round pattern.

How to crochet the Polar Bear Cub with Cocoa

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

  1. Crochet the 16 pieces in rounds: Body, Head, Muzzle, Arm ×2, Leg ×2, Tail, Ear ×2, Beanie, Pom-pom, Mug, Marshmallow ×2, Mug handle (127 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 13 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.

  15. Size before assembly: about 7.5 cm at the widest, 6.3 cm long; 21 rounds.
  16. 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.

  21. Size before assembly: about 7.6 cm at the widest, 6.6 cm long; 26 rounds.
  22. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  23. 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.

  5. Size before assembly: an oval about 3.4 × 2.2 cm at the widest, 1.8 cm long; 6 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 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  6. With white: ch 5.
  7. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Insert the safety nose/eyes now, while the piece is open (positions: see “Face”). Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  8. Size before assembly: about 2 cm at the widest, 3.6 cm long; 11 rounds.
  9. 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 3.3 cm at the widest, 3.4 cm long; 11 rounds.
  10. 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.

  5. Size before assembly: about 1.5 cm at the widest, 1.2 cm long; 4 rounds.
  6. 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.

  5. Size before assembly: about 2.5 cm at the widest, 1.2 cm long; 4 rounds.
  6. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R1).
  7. → This piece is not stuffed.
  8. 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 1–2 are the front of the piece, the magic ring its centre. Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 2.1 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 3–4 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 8 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 25 mm across.<!-- (dish 50 %) -->

  11. Size before assembly: about 6.6 cm at the widest, 4.2 cm long; 14 rounds.
  12. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R12).
  13. 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.

  5. Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 1.6 cm long; 5 rounds.
  6. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  7. 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.

  12. Size before assembly: about 4 cm at the widest, 4.7 cm long; 18 rounds.
  13. Change to brown (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R14).
  14. 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.

  5. Size before assembly: about 1 cm at the widest, 1.4 cm long; 4 rounds.
  6. → Start stuffing (lightly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  7. 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.

  3. Size before assembly: about 1 cm at the widest, 1.1 cm long; 3 rounds. Each piece is two circles (front and back): make 2 circles — 1 as below and 1 plain in red (same rounds, no colour changes).
  4. Fasten off. Hold a front and a plain circle wrong sides together and sc around through both layers: 8 sc. Do not stuff. Leave a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

  • Safety nose, triangle, 11×8 mm (on the muzzle): between rounds 1 and 2, on the centre top line .
  • Embroidery in black thread (on the muzzle) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (between rounds 2 and 3, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 3, 1.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 3, 3 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ).
  • Blush about 10 mm, dry pastel or blush (on the head, both sides): in round 17, 6.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left . Colour pink.
  • Embroidery in black thread (on the head) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (in round 16, 3.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 17, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left) → (in round 16, 5.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
