The Addi Bear Lovey by A Crafty Concept is a soft, huggable teddy bear lovey, the kind of comfort toy little ones carry everywhere. It has a round amigurumi head with a contrasting snout, little ears and a soft body, and it makes a beautiful baby shower gift. The free pattern on the A Crafty Concept blog includes step-by-step photos, and this full video walks you through every part. The video also has Spanish subtitles.

Addi Bear Lovey at a Glance

• Designer: A Crafty Concept
• Skill level: advanced beginner
• Yarn: about 5 oz of worsted weight yarn for the bear, plus small amounts for the snout, nose and eyes
• Hooks: 4 mm (G) and 5.5 mm (I)

How the Lovey Is Made

1. Head: worked in the round and stuffed.
2. Body: the soft lovey body is crocheted and joined to the head.
3. Ears and snout: small pieces are made and pinned in place before sewing.
4. Face: the nose, mouth and eyes are embroidered with yarn.

Safe for Babies

Because the face is embroidered instead of using safety eyes, there are no small parts that can come loose. Use a soft, washable yarn and sew all the pieces on securely.

Tips for a Cuddly Bear

• Pin the ears and snout before sewing and check them from a few angles.
• Stuff the head firmly so it keeps a nice round shape.
• Try a fuzzy yarn for an extra-cuddly version, like the coral bear in the video.
