Hello there, it's Anna here and welcome to Little Crochet Farm
0:04
Today I share this chubby bear. If you have following me here already, you knew that this pattern was coming on
0:13
This is the version for the valentines I make. I use 2 mm crochet hook for this bear and it's the first of 4 patterns that it's about
0:23
to come here for the valentines, alright? So we'll start first with this very easy to do chubby bear
0:31
Let's move on to the pattern. Great, we start here with the magic ring
0:40
If you don't know how to make a magic ring, there is a complete tutorial with the link
0:44
in the description below. But here you can pretty much see how it's done
0:50
Alright and now you will crochet 6 single crochet inside the magic ring
0:56
Okay, so here I will go through all the six single crochet inside this magic ring
1:05
If this video is too fast for you, check the complete tutorial for the magic ring
1:11
There I show you how I hold the yarn, how my fingers are positioned so the magic ring is easy to work with
1:20
Alright, so here 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 single crochet. I will pull this yarn to close my magic ring
1:29
And we'll move on for the round number 2. For the second round here you will start with increases
1:37
So you'll work 6 increase. Having a total of 12 stitches at the end of this round
1:44
So here what you do is you crochet 2 single crochet inside 1 stitch
1:48
stitch that is a increase alright so here one single crochet and another one
1:54
inside the same stitch right one single crochet and another one inside the same
2:02
stitch and you do this repetition all the way until the end and it should have
2:08
12 stitches here I wanted to show you how I fastened the beginning of my yarn I
2:15
I like to do this at the beginning of every project of mine, so I guarantee that the center
2:23
is very nice, neat and closed, tight closed. Alright, so here I insert the yarn inside the first stitches of the round
2:39
Ok, this is super good. Now I will add my stitch marker here in the last stitch of the round
2:51
In my case I just use a different color piece of yarn
2:57
And for round number 3 you will crochet 1 single crochet, 1 increase, repeat 6 times
3:03
and you should have a total of 18 stitches at the end
3:08
I always suggest you to count how many stitches you have at the end of every round so you make
3:15
sure that you are on the right track. Okay, so here 1 sc and 1 increase, repeat this all the
3:22
way until the end and this is how it should be looking like. Alright, so now we move on for round
3:29
number 4 and here you will crochet 2 sc, 1 increase, repeat 6 times and here you should
3:36
have 24 stitches at the end of this round. So just work 2 sc here and now my increase
3:45
Alright, 1, 2 sc and here is the increase inside the same stitch. Super good! This is how it should
3:53
be looking like. Now you're growing our chubby body. Round number 5, you will have 3 sc, 1
4:01
increase, repeat six times and you should have a total of 30 stitches at the end of this round
4:08
So here three single crochet and now here it's my increase. Very well, one, two, three and the increase here repeat all the way until the end
4:24
And this is how it should be looking like by the end of round number five. and for the next round you will crochet four single crochet, one increase, repeat
4:33
six times and you should have a total of 36 stitches at the end of this round
4:39
Always count how many stitches you have at the end of every round just to make
4:45
sure that you're right on track because if you need to unravel it's just one
4:49
round, right? Better now than later. Alright, so 1, 2, 3, 4 and then increase, okay
5:01
Repeat all the rounds and I will catch you up here. Super good! Now let's move
5:08
on for our next round. Here you'll work 5 single crochet, 1 increase, repeat 6
5:14
times and you should have a total of 42 stitches here at the end of this round Okay
5:27
Alright, now my increase. Here this is my increase. So here you see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1
5:42
increase. Repeat all the way until the end and I'll catch you up here. I want to show you here
5:47
where are the stitches. You see here one V, another V, another one. Those are one stitches
5:54
another one here, and then you arrive here you have four lines here coming forming these two
6:00
stitches. You see this one is a straight, straight, straight again, straight again
6:06
And here you have this combine these two together. And you can see this in any pattern even if it's done the finished toy
6:16
For example, here is the increase. You see these two V's together
6:22
This is the increase. And here you see all the stitches alone
6:27
And then here one more increase. Okay? Let me know if you want a video about this
6:33
Alright, so this is at the end of the round. Now for round number eight, you will crochet six, single
6:41
crochet, one increase, repeat six times and you should have a total of 48 stitches here at the
6:47
end of this round and here is our last round with increases alright six here and
7:01
now my increase all right super good I will catch you up at the end of this
7:11
round. Very nice, so here we have already the beginning of our chubby body and I
7:22
will grow the height here of this body. So for round 9 to 21 you will work only
7:29
48 single crochet. So you have it here 13 rounds only with single crochet. You can
7:36
stop the video here, work your rounds and I will catch you up at the end of round
7:41
21 and this is how it should be looking like. Very good, we have this shape, now
7:48
you will start working with the decreases. Ok, so for round 22 you will start
7:55
decreasing. 6 single crochet, 1 decrease, repeat 6 times and you should have here
8:01
42 stitches at the end of the round. Here for crochet toys I like to work with
8:07
the invisible decrease which is when you grab only the front loop of the stitches
8:12
I will show you here how it's done but of course there are a complete YouTube
8:19
tutorial about this. So here you grab only the front loop you see and finish
8:27
your single crochet normally as you would. Alright there you go invisible
8:35
decrease in Namigurum is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and this is the decrease. Okay work all the way around and
8:42
I will catch you up at the end. That's very nice, now we were moving on for round number 23. You will
8:50
work five single crochet, one decrease, repeat six times and you should have a total of 36 stitches
8:56
at the end of this round. Okay remember to count how many stitches you have at the end of every
9:02
round so you are sure that everything is right what it should be. Okay here my
9:13
decrease, only the front loop of the next two stitches and finish the single
9:19
crochet. Very nice invisible decrease here. Alright, repeat all the way around
9:25
and I will catch you up for the next round. So here we are seeing very nice
9:30
shape of the decreases. So now for round number 24 you will work 4 single crochet
9:36
1 decrease, repeat 6 times and here 30 stitches at the end of the round
9:42
Alright, we are almost done with the chubby body. Okay, this is great. Now first
9:53
decrease. Great! Now you repeat this all the way until the end and I will catch
10:01
you up for the next round. Alright? Super good! We're almost there. Now for round
10:10
number 25 you work three single crochets one decrease repeat six times and you
10:14
should have a total of 24 stitches here at the end of this round, alright? So one
10:21
1, 2, and 3. Now you work the decrease only grabbing the front loop of the
10:32
stitch and finish your single crochet Alright this is great 1 2 3 decrease and this is how it should be looking like once you finish all the 6 repetitions
10:49
So now let's move on for round number 6, 2 single crochet, 1 decrease, repeat 6 times
10:54
and you should have a total of 18 stitches at the end of this round
11:01
Here's my decrease, we are almost done, we have just one more round after this one
11:08
Alright, super good. Okay, here now at the end of this round, number 28, we will stop a little bit to add the stuffing
11:19
material before we move on for our last round, okay? So here you add as much stuffing material you want
11:30
I like to add a lot, like a good amount of stuffing materials because I like my toys very
11:37
firm, that's optional to you. So I add here my stitch marker and let's move on for our last round, round number 27
11:49
Okay, so here you will work one single crochet, one decrease, repeat 6 times and here you should
11:56
have only 12 stitches at the end of the round. This is where we will stop the crochet toy
12:05
Okay, so here. Finish here and now we will continue all the way until the end until you have like this, 12 stitches only
12:20
Now you cut the yarn, you leave a small tail here for fastening off
12:27
I will show you here how I fasten off my toys but there is also a video tutorial about that
12:33
So basically you only take the first loop of every stitch. So you just start passing the yarn through this front loop
12:45
You don't need to pull it tight for closing right now. We will do this at the end
12:51
Just make sure you're not grabbing the yarn in between the plies, okay
12:56
Okay, this can complicate things here when you need to close it completely
13:03
So pull it very tight. And now here, here's what you're going to do
13:09
You will insert your needle in the last stitches of this round here to help to close very firm
13:17
And I also make this hole in between the first round to make as small as possible
13:23
okay fast enough and this is the chubby body very nice super pretty all right this is good
13:34
now we'll start working the chubby ears all right so you'll repeat rounds one and two and here you
13:41
will just grow the length of this ear so you repeat the rounds one and two from the beginning
13:48
of this video and you move for around 3 to 5, 12 single crochet okay so here you
13:57
don't have more increases this is the size of our chubby ears I will leave you
14:07
here and I will catch you up at the end alright so this is how it should be
14:12
looking like once you're done with the round number 5 you cut the
14:17
yarn leave a tail for sewing later. Okay, pull this thread here through, hide the
14:25
beginning of your tail. Super good. And you now send this tail that you will use
14:32
later for sewing. You pull it back to inside of your toy like this. This will
14:39
make it look nicer when you are sewing it. Now you flatten here the ears. You see
14:44
folded nicely and your ear is done now you make another one
14:49
super good moving on again here now we're working with the back paws okay so
14:57
here you will work again rounds one to two and work the length of the paws here
15:03
so this is the back paw and you will work here round three to eight twelve
15:10
single crochet. So for these next six rounds you just work with 12 single
15:17
crochet and you'll have a long paw and I will catch you up here to show you what
15:22
you need to do for round number nine which is a little bit different. Okay so
15:28
this is done. Now you add a little bit of stuffing material just a little bit
15:33
just on the tip of the paw because we want the paw to be able to move a little
15:39
bit, all right? Okay, now what's you going, what you're going to do here is you will
15:46
crochet together one side to another. So, for round number nine, you will crochet
15:50
six single crochet. So, here you have 12 stitches in the round, right? When you
15:56
fold it like this you have six in one side and six to another side The first one here it a bit more complicated to catch but once you done with it all the rest is much nicer to work So here my first single crochet and I will work
16:16
the following here. You see this is much better. Just the first one you need to put a little bit
16:23
more effort to find it, the first two stitches, and that's it. Okay, this is my
16:32
fourth. Working on the stitch number five and the last one is this one. You see
16:40
it's in between the posts of the last two stitches. Super good! That's it, this is
16:47
one paw is ready here. So again, we will cut this tail, we'd leave a little bit to
16:52
sew it later and you pull the thread out. Ta-da! Very nice and you make another one
17:01
just one more of this following the same instructions. Okay and here now we will
17:08
work the snout. Here you will repeat round 1, 2, 3, okay from the beginning of
17:17
this video so you should have now 18 stitches and you will work just one more round, round
17:23
number four with 18 single crochet so no increases here and this will be ours now, it's super
17:32
fast to do, okay? I'll go a little bit faster here and I will catch you up once
17:45
this is done. Super good! You see this is the snout ready. Now you just cut the
17:52
yarn here and do the same thing. You pull the thread and you hide... and you not hide..
17:59
you send this yarn to the back of the detail. This little thing makes a
18:05
difference when you were sewing it. Super good! Okay, and now we'll work the front
18:16
paw which is remaining, right? So here you will start again with the magic ring
18:20
and you will work five single crochet in the magic ring okay so I'll go with you
18:34
on this one it's a small detail two three and four one two three four five
18:53
great super good now you pull the yarn here very tight and let's start working
19:02
the second round. Here you will work five increases. Okay, so you should have ten
19:10
stitches at the end of this round and it's with these stitches that we will
19:14
work. We will stop the increases here. So the back paw, the paw that it's under, has
19:21
12 stitches. This one that it's upper is the one hugging the heart. It has ten
19:27
stitches on its size. Here you secure the beginning of your yarn, always remember
19:33
to do that, it makes more neat. And now you will work here from round 3 to 9, you
19:41
will work 10 single crochet. So here that's it, very simple. You work these
19:47
rounds with just repetition, you will not increase anything and I will catch you
19:51
up here for the round number 10, which we will work with the same way that we did
19:57
for the back poles. Okay, we will crochet together the sides. Okay, moving fast
20:06
forward here, you need to add little bit of stuffing material just until halfway
20:11
of the arms and I will work round number 10. So here's the same thing, find the
20:18
first and the last stitch you work because you are crocheting together. You
20:25
fold the paws and you'll crochet together. The first stitch it's a little bit harder to find
20:32
but you see here, you just grab that and the rest is much easier
20:44
That's super good! So here now our fourth stitch and the last one. Right? So you have 10 stitches
20:57
you fold in half, you have five in one side, five in another one. So for round 10
21:01
that's why you are working with five single crochet. Okay? I'm a very smart mathematician
21:10
Okay, so this is the front paw ready and you make another one following the same instructions
21:20
Okay, I have my one here. Ta-da
