Starting with the Body:

Form Magic Ring:

Wrap the yarn around your fingers to create an 'X'.

• Pull through the yarn and release your fingers to form the magic ring.
• Make one chain to secure the ring.

Round 1:

• Stitch eight single crochets into the magic ring.
• Pull the yarn tail to close the magic ring.

Round 2:

Remove the stitch marker.

• Make one single crochet in the first stitch, and place the stitch marker back.
• In the same stitch, make another single crochet (increase).
• Continue with seven additional increases following this pattern.
• Repeat this pattern until the end of the round.

For Round 3:

• Remove the stitch marker and stitch one single crochet.
• Replace the stitch marker.
• Alternate one single crochet with one increase (a total of eight times).
• Repeat this pattern until the end of the round.

Round 4:

• Practice the same process of removing and replacing the stitch marker.
• Execute two single crochets followed by one increase.
• Continue this pattern eight times.

Round 5:

• After adjusting the stitch marker, perform ten single crochets.
• In the next stitch, create a four triple crochet cluster.
• Repeat ten single crochets, followed by another four triple crochet cluster.
• Complete the round with ten more single crochets.

Shaping the Teddy Bear:

Round 6 - 9:

• Follow the pattern of removing and replacing the stitch marker at the beginning of each round.
• Round 6 through Round 8 involve varying patterns of single crochets, increases, and decreases.

As you reach Round 9, it's time to stuff the body with the stuffing material before closing.

Finishing the Body:

Round 10 - 14:

• Continue removing and replacing the stitch marker each round.
• Rounds 10 through 14 consist of single crochets and the invisible decrease method.
• Ensure that the decrease stitches are evenly spread out to shape the teddy bear properly.

Details for Facial Features and Accessories:

Eyes:

• Attach yarn and tie a knot.
• Use a needle to insert from the back of the head, appearing at the upper part of one eye, then move down to the bottom of the eye and up at the corresponding part of the next eye.

Nose and Face:

• Stitch on the nose using a contrasting yarn color.
• Add a blush effect to give life to your teddy bear's cheeks.

Scarf:

• Crochet a yellow scarf (no specific pattern provided).
• Wrap the scarf snugly around the bear's neck.

Securing Yarn Ends:

• After all features are added, hide the yarn tails by weaving them back into the bear with a needle.
