size.

you stuff firmly. This will assure your toy keeps it shape.

CONNECTING LEGS
Rd10 is crocheting across both legs in a circle with one chain stitch
between. So that in total you will have 34 stitches.
Rd10 begin from 2nd leg. Crochet 5 sc around the 2nd leg. Then crochet a
chain of 8 ch (= ch8-chain). Still holding the last chain stitch of the
ch8-chain on your hook, take the 1st leg and crochet 9 sc around 1st leg.
You will now begin the increase rounds. These increases will be in 4
places-the places of connecting legs and tummy.

HEAD
Rd 1: 6 sc in magic ring
If using safety eyes, place them between rounds 5 & 6, directly even with
the magic circle hole.
Add the stuffing and make sure that the head is stuffed very firmly and
keeps the form.
Stuff the head at the last time, note on the places along the hole. Keep
the form of the head rounded, it shouldn't be flattened. At this moment
you can close the hole.

Rd 3: 9 sc (9 sts)
FO last stitch and cut yarn. Leave a long tail for sewing. Crochet another

CAP
Rd 1: 6 sc in magic ring
Put on the cap. Maybe it will be necessary to crochet some extra rounds
or remove 1-2 rounds (48 sc). It depends on the tightness of your
crocheting.
Fix the eyes: polybutene you can place with special transparent glue or
sew it. Also you can use the eyes on the loop. It's better to embroider
eyes for little babies.
4. Put on the cap. You can sew it to the head with great color yarn as you
like.
5. Decorate the ears. Take the textile material and cut two detail like the
form of ears, a little bigger, than crocheted. Sew the textile to the
crocheted ear with flat seam. Sew the ears to the cap.
7. If you want you can add some cute details for your bear to be especial.
