You’re in the right place to crochet a sleepy crochet bear named Barney. The height of the crochet amigurumi toy is about 29 cm. The designer used Himalayan Dolphin Baby yarn and a 4mm hook to make such a large crochet bear. The body and head of the toy are knitted as one piece, the remaining parts are fixed separately later. Thanks to the splint connection, the legs of the teddy bear can move. You will also learn how to make crochet hats and pants to decorate your cute teddy bear from the detailed step by step amigurumi pattern instructions.

At this stage, we will attach the lower legs, fill the body with filler and try on how you like the location of the legs. I have it between 10-11 rows at a distance of 23 sc from one joint to the other. The paws should be facing you. For convenience, remove the filler and secure the joints.
21. 4sc+dec*6times=30 sc
22. 3sc+dec*6times=24 sc
23. 24 sc
24. 2sc+dec*6times=18 sc
25. We knit the upper paws. We knit 6 sc together with the foot, 5 sc, again 6 sc with the foot, 1 sc = 18 sc
Be careful when knitting the upper legs, they should be located with the convex side towards your face, the side that the arrow shows should look at you. Also look at your knitting, displacement is possible, attach the paws to the body and see if they should be parallel to the lower legs. We stuff the body tightly, do not cut the thread, we will continue to knit the head.
We begin to crochet the head.
26. We make 18 increases = 36 sc

Muzzle
1. In MR 6sc=6 sc
2. 6 inc=12 sc
3. 1sc+inc*6times=18 sc
4. 18sc
We make a connecting column, cut the thread. I sew the muzzle with a regular white thread, so you can’t see that it was sewn on.
We proceed to the design of the muzzle. Attach the muzzle and mark for yourself where you will have a nose, it should be located between the eyes, between 3 and 4 rows. Fasten the nose. We sew the muzzle with an ordinary white thread in two additions. Placing it below the eyes, the place where you finished knitting down. See photo below.
Next, we will tighten the muzzle.
We take the thread to match the color of the thread with which the bear was knitted, I have a yarnart jeans, in one addition and a needle with a large eye. We mark the points on the muzzle with colored needles as shown in the photo. We find the middle of the muzzle from below (POINT A), insert the needle and leave the tip of the thread, withdraw the needle from point 1, insert the needle from point 1 to point 2 and return back to point A, at a distance of 1sc (POINT B). pull the thread, making a tightening. From point B we bring the needle to point 3, insert it to point 4 and bring the thread to point A, make a tightening and tie the threads together. Next, we make a tightening where the spout is, we circle the thread around the spout and fasten the muzzle at the bottom, hide the ends with a hook or needle.
We try on our ears and sew them on with the end that was left for sewing. The ears are located from the 3rd to the 11th row (count from the top of the head).

We turn inside out, count 26 sc and knit 4 connecting posts for both walls. It turns out 2 legs of 16 sc, we do not cut the thread. We turn the knitting back to the front side.
We begin to knit the trouser leg, knit 4 rows of 26 sc, fasten and cut the thread, return to the second trouser leg, join and also knit 4 rows of 26 sc. For straps, join the back of the pants, I put pants on the bear and roughly marked where I want to make a strap, and we make 32 ch, we make 3 loops for a button, and starting from 4 loops we knit 32 sc. We fasten the thread and cut it off. Sew a button on the front. Pants are ready!
