Meet Milo the sweet and cute teddy bear. This little guy is one of my first pattern that I wrote up. he so tiny and small could sit easily in your hand. You guys can imagine how small he is.
I decorate him with red necklace with a small gold colour bell that make him look so special. He is so easy to make and great for beginner amigurumi crocheter. You guy can crochet him up in a strom.
What are you waiting for? Let’s start!
Finish Size
-Approximately 4 inches tall in sitting position (without counting ear)
-Size of baby bear may varies depend on size of yarn and crochet hook
Note
For the size of the crochet hook really does not matter. The doll design will work just fine with different size crochet of hooks, only the end size of the creation will different slightly.
In this pattern is working in round continuously, you may use contrasting colour short piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each round. When round one end. Do not join at the end of each round; you will begin the second round in the next stitch.
At the end of each round, I have given the number of stitches you should have. If you are off by 1or 2 stitches, do not worry about it.

I love this little bear, it's the most popular item I make. He's very tactile and if I have one on my stand people cannot resist stopping to pick him up. :) I mostly make them either to donate directly to charity or sell them to fundraise for charity. He really is a special little bear, thank you so much for the pattern! xxx

@Ondine Blue, according to your directions with the ears I had trouble crocheting them to look like half moons in your picture.
