US English pattern by Jen Hayes Creations. Includes step-by-step pictures.

The Beginner-Friendly Crochet Bear pattern is packed full of creative options to create both boy and girl bears in a variety of ways. Make the bears in their sweaters and embellish a bit more with pants, skirts, and bowties or hairbows. Before you know it you’ll have a whole family of bears.

This is the perfect project for all skill levels, for anyone wanting to create adorable bears, but it was also specifically designed to help individuals progress from a newbie to an advanced beginner crocheter. The project incorporates all the basic crochet techniques along with the skills of joining pieces together, simple color changes, working in the back loops, a small amount of embroidery, hand stitching, and more.

The Beginner-Friendly Bear is excellent for gifts, decor, bear lovers, imaginative play, and more.
