Amigurumi – Crochet Teddy “Pina”

With this crochet pattern, you can easily create an Amigurumi Crochet Teddy. Pina is a shy teddy girl who loves to enjoy the fresh air and warm sunlight in nature for hours.

During Indian Summer weather,
Pina got quite a fright,
under autumn's first leaves,
there was a sweet frog hidden.

Quickly it was not clear,
who of these strangers,
was the most afraid,
because prejudices inhibited them.

Introduction: Amigurumi – Crochet Teddy “Pina”

Before crocheting the Amigurumi Teddy, some preparation is necessary. In this section, you will receive all important information about the necessary prerequisites, materials, and size. You can find help through the corresponding additional links.

Attention! Amigurumis are very cute and, therefore, not only popular among adults. Children often see them as toys, so you should be especially careful. Amigurumis that are not intended for play should be kept out of the reach of children. If an Amigurumi is meant to be played with by children, you should strictly adhere to the guidelines for toys. If you plan to give away or sell Amigurumis (license for sellers), you must strictly adhere to the legal requirements for toys and display the required CE marking.

Prerequisites

To easily recreate the crochet pattern for the Amigurumi Teddy, you should already master the following crochet techniques. If you do not master all of them yet, you will find comprehensive tutorials here to learn them.

• Decreases
• Double Crochet Stitches (UK!)
• Increases
• Magic Ring
• Spiral Rounds

Note! By offsetting regular increases and decreases, they become almost invisible. You can recognize regular increases by the phrase “double every … stitch,” and regular decreases by the phrase “crochet together every … and … stitch”. The stitch chart for spheres and circles might also be helpful for you.

Note! Using a special technique for invisible decreases makes them nearly invisible. Although this technique requires a bit of practice, it’s worth giving it a try.

Supplies

The shown Amigurumi Teddy was crocheted with the following materials. You can also crochet the Amigurumi Teddy with a different yarn, provided you use a matching needle size. To achieve an authentic result, you should use exactly the listed materials. In addition to the materials, you will also find a list of the necessary tools and supplies here.

Note! The specified yarn was used for the example shown here. In principle, you can use any yarn and an appropriate needle size. However, the quality of the material also affects the quality of the result, so you should avoid cutting corners in the wrong place. Also, the thickness of the yarn and the needle will influence the size of the outcome, which you can, of course, intentionally take advantage of.

Note! I have used safety eyes here. If you have never attached safety eyes before, you can also find detailed instructions on how to attach safety eyes here. In addition to a wide selection of other safety eyes, there are also numerous alternatives for amigurumi eyes. Simply use the eyes that you like best.

Size

Here are the size specifications for the crocheted Amigurumi Teddy. The height was measured standing without ears. Please note that the actual size depends on the yarn used, the size of the crochet hook, and individual crochet tension.

Needle Size	Yardage	Size
Crochet Hook 12	137 yds / 1.75 oz	6 1/5 inch
Crochet Hook 11	120 yds / 1.75 oz	?
Crochet Hook 9 or 10	93 yds / 1.75 oz	?

Note! If you want to change the size, you can simply use a thicker or thinner yarn with a suitable needle size. Simply doubling the rounds, rows, and stitches, on the other hand, will only result in an uneven outcome.

Crochet Pattern: Amigurumi – Crochet Teddy “Pina”

For the sweet Amigurumi Crochet Teddy, we first crochet the head and body, and then the arms, legs, snout, tail, and ears. After that, all parts are sewn together, individual parts are shaped, and embroideries are applied.

But even if that sounds very complicated now, it’s not too difficult. Just follow all the instructions and images! If you ever get stuck, you can always contact us through the comment function.

Head for Crochet Teddy (1x)

The head for the Crochet Teddy is crocheted from top to bottom in spiral rounds using only double crochet stitches (UK!). The head is properly filled and stuffed during the process. The remaining yarn end will be needed later to sew the head around the body.

Note! If you want to achieve a particularly beautiful result, you can hide regular increases and decreases by offsetting them a little. You can recognize regular increases by the phrase “double every … stitch,” and regular decreases by the phrase “crochet together every … and … stitch”. The stitch chart for spheres and circles might also be helpful for you. Additionally, you can apply a special crochet technique here for invisible decreases.

Ears for Crochet Teddy (2x)

Next, we want to crochet the ears for the Crochet Teddy. We also crochet the ears from top to bottom in spiral rounds. However, the ears are not filled so that we can later sew them flat with the yarn end onto the head.

You can recognize regular increases by the phrase “double every … stitch,” and regular decreases by the phrase “crochet together every … and … stitch”.

Note! If you want to create several nearly identical parts, it’s advisable to work on them consecutively on the same day. For larger parts, it’s even recommended to work on them simultaneously in stages. Our tension and tightness can vary from day to day, leading to visible differences.

Teddy Finish

After you have crocheted all the parts, the puzzle can be completed. Before you start, be sure to pin the crocheted Teddy together with pins to find the correct positions. This makes sewing them together easier, and you can still make adjustments easily.

Sew Head to Body

First, we sew the Head and Body together with the openings aligned. Use the long yarn end from the head and work around the two openings. If you’ve never done this before, the pattern for sewing together open pieces might help.

Sew Snout to Head

Now you can sew the Snout around the head with the yarn end. It is very helpful to first pin it in place with needles and gradually remove them as you go around. Just before completing the round, fill and stuff the snout well.

Sew Ears to Head

Next, the Ears can be sewn onto the head. They are not filled, only folded flat. The open side sits horizontally on the head. Both ears form a line parallel to the eyes when viewed from above.

Sew Arms and Legs

Next, you can sew the Arms just below the head. Either fold them flat horizontally or make them movable with thread joints, as described in the joint pattern. The Legs are sewn horizontally, folded in the middle, in a line to the center of the underside.

The Tail is sewn in the middle on the back. Fold the open end flat and sew it horizontally around the 6th round. The Teddy’s tail acts as a counterbalance for it to sit, so this placement should be well considered.

Attach Tail to Body

Now, the Tail is sewn to the middle of the back. Fold the open end flat and sew it horizontally, approximately around the 6th round. The tail serves as a counterbalance for sitting, so this location should be carefully considered.

Embroider Eyebrows

Finally, embroider the Eyebrows using black embroidery thread or stuffing yarn. They should be positioned 7th or 8th rounds above the eyes, slanting upwards on the inside.

Embroider a Nose

For the Nose, use dark red embroidery thread or stuffing yarn and stitch it in the center just above the snout. Make horizontal stitches over several stitches until the nose achieves the desired volume.

Shape Belly Button

Next, pull the Belly Button inward using yarn of the same color. Insert the needle horizontally through two stitches at the appropriate location in the front and pull it out two stitches below the tail on the back.

Shape Toes

Afterward, bind the Feet at the Tips with 3 cinches, dividing them into 4 parts. It’s easiest to start with the middle cinch to ensure even distribution.

Done!

Now your crocheted teddy is already finished! You can also find the pattern for the little frog here. This way, you can crochet the cute pair yourself.
