Amigurumi Heart Bear Tutorial

This comprehensive tutorial by Tejidos Joss provides a step-by-step guide to crocheting a charming heart-shaped teddy bear.

The tutorial begins with an introduction to the project and a list of materials needed. The crocheter then guides through creating the heart-shaped body starting with two half-spheres and then joining them together, starting with a magic ring and gradually increasing the number of stitches in each round. Then she works around them and closes the heart.

The tutorial highlights the importance of counting stitches accurately to ensure the heart shape is formed correctly. The crocheter also emphasizes the need to stuff the bear gradually as the body is crocheted to maintain its shape.

Once the body is complete, the tutorial moves on to creating the ears and tail using the same techniques as the body. The crocheter then shows how to embroider the bear's nose and mouth using black yarn.

Finally, the tutorial demonstrates how to assemble the bear by sewing on the ears, tail, and nose. The crocheter also adds a small bow to the bear's chest for decoration.

Stitches Used

Following are the stitches that the tutor uses for crocheting the heart bear:

MR (Magic Ring): Create a loop and crochet the first round of stitches into the ring to form a closed circle.
ch (Chain): Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook to form a new stitch.
sc (Single Crochet): Insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook.
