Lucas the Teddy Bear Pattern: New Teddy Bear Friends

Amigurumi Patterns: My Lucas the Teddy Bear got New Friends.

PATTERN here: Amigurumi Teddy Bear Pattern

One day I felt like doing my very dearest Teddy Bear again. Another reason is a yarn mentioned in my pattern which is discontinued. It was a great yarn called Austermann, Bambou Soft. New teddy bears, did two natural white ones, are made with Austermann Alpaca Silk, also used here: My Neighbor Totoro

In my original pattern I used 2mm crochet hook, here 2,5mm crochet hook. My attention was to show that´s there´s really no big difference using various yarns and crochet hooks. Design won´t change, teddy bear will come out smaller or a bit bigger, softer or stronger etc. just take the yarn and hook you are used to work with. I know it´s a safe choice to take the yarn the pattern is calling for, but there´s really no need to worry if you can´t get the exact yarn. This yarn contains 80% Alpaca and 20% silk, just brilliant for my taste. I hope you like them too! And one more thing. I´ve always liked minimalistic and classical style, but there are dozens of ways to decorate your teddy, paws, color change, ribbons, clothes etc.

Thank you for visiting!

All baby booties made with Debbie Bliss Rialto DK and hook size 2,5mm (USB/1 or C/2) and 3,0mm US C/2 or D/3)

I put a lot of effort into these designs, every detail matters! I was excited and nervous at the same time :) but here they are and I´m so happy and thankful for the challenge. I also put a lot of effort on designing eyes - to create the caracter.
