So, if you’re in the mood to crochet some cute little bears, you’re in the right place! I’ve gathered 20+ free bear amigurumi patterns that you can try right now. Some are super simple and beginner-friendly, while others have fun little details that make them extra special. So grab your yarn, pick your favorite, and let’s crochet some cute little bears!
Bear Keychain
Omg, these two are everything! A big fluffy bear and a mini keychain version? Perfection. The pattern works with plush yarn for the big one, and thinner cotton yarn for the small one.
