The Star Bear is a fast, easy, and fun no-sew amigurumi pattern that you’ll want to make on repeat! It features the cutest mini bear ever, with stubby arms and legs, all crocheted in one piece without any sewing or fastening off until the very end! This pattern makes a great keychain, party favor, last-minute birthday gift, Christmas stocking stuffer, and stock for craft fairs and markets.
Look at how itty bitty they are! Using bulky chenille velvet yarn and a 5mm hook, mine come out to be under 3″ tall.
Customization
What’s also really fun about this pattern is that it’s super customizable! You can simply switch up yarn colors to create different types of bears, such as bears with striped outfits, bears wearing shirts and pants, baby bears wearing diapers, or even panda bears! The PDF pattern includes information on which rounds/places to change colors for the following bears:
Adoption Certificate

Recommended Yarn
This adorable amigurumi is designed with Posh Twist yarn, which is a super plush and soft bulky weight 5 yarn. It works up fast and produces generously-sized amigurumis with fewer stitches compared to thinner yarns! You can also use different yarn colors within the same doll to produce so many unique bears!
While this pattern is designed with plush yarn for that plush, squishy look, it also works great with cotton or acrylic yarns if that’s what you have on hand. Your bear will just end up even smaller, but they’ll be the perfect size for a mini keychain, hanging ornament, or bag charm! Simply add clasps and rings with this inexpensive keychain making kit and you can clip your amigurumi onto backpacks, purses, and more.
