20. 6 dec (6) 

Insert the joint between 17-18 rows. The leg of the cotter pin comes out on 

the inside of the handle (see photo). 

** If the handles will be knitted, we fill tightly only the beginning of the 

handles, after row 19 we fold it in half and close the opening with 6sc.

8. (6 sc, inc)* 6 (48) 

9. – 14. 48 sc (48) – For tying in legs see ** 

We insert the legs between 11 – 12 rows (check in which row the legs will 

look better for your toy). We fix the joint. The tip of the leg of the joint can be 

melted with a lighter and slightly flattened for a more secure attachment. 

** if the legs will be tied in, then make sure that the marker goes over the 

body exactly from behind, in the middle of the back, without displacement. If 

necessary, knit another 1-2 sc and reposition the marker. 

For legs in rows 11-12 – 10 sc, 6 sc (knit in the leg), 16 sc, 6 sc (knit in the 

leg), 10 sc (48)

20. – 24. 30 sc (30) For knitting handles see *** 

We insert the handles between 21 – 22 rows (check in which row the 

handles will look better for your toy). We fix the joint. The tip of the joint leg can 

be melted with a lighter and slightly flattened for a more secure attachment. 

*** If the handles will be knitted: in rows 21-23 we knit 5 sc, 6 sc (we knit a 

handle), 8 sc, 6 sc (we knit a handle), 5 sc (24) 

25. (3 sc, dec) * 6 (24) 

****if you are going to tie the head, next row, start the head pattern from 

the 5th row and then knit according to the scheme. But then do not forget that the 

eyes are inserted in 11-12 rows. Also (without the use of joints) the head can be 

sewn. 

26. (2 sc, dec) * 6 (18) 

27. (1 sc, dec) * 6 (12) 

Fill as tightly as possible, insert the joint. We knit the decreases to the end, 

until the base of the joint is closed. 

*****To tie the bear (In a dress or skirt), after the 15th row, change the 

color of the body to the color of the clothes, knit: 

16. 36 sc (36) 

17. 36 sc (36) (through back loops only) 

Further according to the pattern. To give the skirt a shape in the 17th row 

crochet through front loops only 3 hdc in one loop. Another row of hdc. We tie 

one more row with simple sc.

7. (5 sc, inc) * 6 (42) 

8. (6 sc, inc) * 6 (48) 

9. (7 sc, inc) * 6 (54) 

We put the head on the leg of the joint, in the very center of knitting, closing 

the joint. Fill as you knit, more tightly. 

* * When using a joints or knitting, the beginning of the row goes from the 

bottom of the head. When sewing on, the opposite is true. Therefore, you need to 

carefully monitor which row to insert the eyes 

10. – 17. 54 sc (54) 

We insert the eyes in rows 11-12 (there is a distance of 1 column between 

the eyes). If the head will be sewn on, we insert the eyes in about 14-15 rows (the 

beginning of the row from the top).

Embroider the nose on the muzzle with the same yarn as the cap, regular 

stitches from bottom to top or vice versa, in several layers for volume.

Scarf: 

For a scarf, make a chain of 60 ch, and starting from the second loop from 

the hook, knit several (3-5) rows in turning rows. We start the next rows with ch1. 

* We choose the length of the scarf according to the size of your toy. The 

larger the ch chain, the longer the scarf 

Assembling a toy: 

Sew the muzzle right under the eyes (do not stuff). Sew the ears between the 

16-22 row of the head (the beginning of the row from the bottom). Sew the tail 

between about 8-10 row the body. 

We embroider stitches on the forehead, tummy, on the sides of the arms and 

legs. For this we take black sewing threads of 4-6 threads. I do not advise taking 

too thick threads. 

Sew the cap on the side of the head. Sew a decorative button to the scarf.
