Amigurumi – Crochet Teddy “Pina”

With this free crochet pattern you can easily make an amigurumi crochet teddy. Pina is a shy Teddy girl, which enjoys happy hours in nature with fresh air and warm sunshine.

At Indian summer weather,
Pina has been very frightening,
under first autumn leaves,
there was a sweet frog hiding.

 

On the fly was not clear
which one of these strangers,
the most anxious was here,
because they inhibited prejudices.

Finish the Teddy

After you have finished crocheting, the puzzle can be completed. Before you start you should necessarily put all the parts of the crocheted teddy together with pins to find the right positions. So sewing them together will be easy and you can still make corrections.

First, we sew together the head and body with the openings facing to each other. Here you are using the long thread end from the top and work your way around to the two openings. If you´ve never done that before, the tutorial about sewing open parts together may help.

Now you can sew around the snout with the thread end. It is very helpful, when it was first pinned with pins and removing them one by one. Just before you are all around the snout will get well filled and stuffed.

The ears can be sewn on the top of the head. They wont be filled, just folded flat. The open side is sitting thereby on the left and the right to the centre of the head. Both ears are seen from above in a line parallel to the eyes.

Next you can sew the arms next under the head. Either horizontally folded flat or movable with thread joints, like described in the Tutorial for Thread Joints.

The legs will be folded horizontally and sewn to the middle of the bottom in one line.

Now the tail is sewn to the middle of the back. Therefore you fold the open end flat and sew it horizontally around the 6th round. The tail is a counterweight to sit, so the place should be chosen wise.

Finally the eyebrows will be embroidered with black embroidery thread or Darning Yarn. They are placed over the 7th and 8th round over the eyes and the inner side shows obliquely upwards.

The nose you embroider with dark red embroidery thread or darning thread centrally above the snout. It is sufficient to make many horizontal stitches over several stitches until the nose has the desired volume.

After that you pull inward the navel with yarn colour. Here you stitch horizontally around two stitches on the front at the appropriate location and draw this around two stitches on the back underneath the tail.

Thereafter the feet are tied on the pointed end with 3 constrictions into 4 parts. It is easy if you start in the middle, so that the parts get the same size.

 

Now your Teddy is already finished! I hope you enjoyed it and look forward for your next visit!

I almost forgot it: you can find here also the Pattern for The Little Frog. So can you crochet the sweet couple yourself.
