Crochet Bear Pattern (Free Charts)

A calm, round bear face in 24 stitches — the teddy blanket without the sewing.

A bear is the safest gift in crochet: every nursery theme has room for one. This face is deliberately simple — round head, small ears, cream muzzle — so it reads clearly even at 24 × 14 stitches, and so a beginner can finish it without a single tricky color change.

Two colorways: honey brown for the classic teddy look, and a deeper mocha for a woodland feel. Same chart, four colors, one evening each.

How to crochet it

  1. Gather your materials

    Worsted weight (#4) yarn in 4 colors, a 5.0 mm (H/8) hook, a tapestry needle, and scissors. About 20 yards in total — stash-buster territory — with the main brown doing most of the work; the legend's per-color stitch counts double as a shopping list.

  2. Check the finished size

    In single crochet at a typical 16 sc × 18 rows = 10 cm gauge, the 24 × 14 chart gives a panel of about 15 × 8 cm. Worked as a C2C bear square with the same yarn, each cell becomes a block and the piece comes out around 30 × 18 cm.

  3. Work the chart from the bottom up

    One square = one single crochet. Start at the bottom row and work up: odd rows are the right side (read right to left), even rows the wrong side (read left to right). Prefer corner-to-corner? Start at the bottom-right corner and work diagonally — the same teddy bear crochet chart works for both.

  4. Change colors cleanly

    Finish the last stitch of the old color with the new one, and drop the yarn instead of carrying it more than 3–4 stitches. The muzzle is the only color detail inside the face — a small cream patch with a dark nose — so this free bear crochet pattern has almost nothing to manage.

  5. Add a border and finish

    Work one round of single crochet in the background color around the panel, with 3 sc in each corner, then weave in the ends with the tapestry needle. A light steam block evens out the muzzle area before you sew the panel down.

  6. Turn it into a finished piece

    Pair the bear with the bunny and heart charts for a matching set of nursery blanket squares, or repeat bears in alternating honey and mocha for a full teddy blanket. Sew each panel onto its ground after blocking.

Frequently asked questions

Is this bear pattern good for beginners?

Yes — 24 × 14 stitches, four colors, and broad shapes with no confetti stitches. It's a calm first colorwork project, finishable in one evening.

Can I use this bear chart for C2C?

Yes — each cell becomes one C2C block worked diagonally. In worsted yarn the bear comes out around 30 × 18 cm, perfect for a baby blanket square.

Can I make a panda with this chart?

Almost — swap the main brown for black and keep the muzzle cream. The face reads as a panda cousin; for crisp panda eye patches you'd want a dedicated chart, which the generator can make from a panda photo.

Is the bear pattern free?

Yes, free for personal use in both colorways. It's an original design made for this site.

What can I make with a 24-stitch bear?

Baby blanket squares, cardigan patches, tote appliqués, wall hangings, or one block in a larger animal alphabet blanket. Repeat it in a grid and it becomes the whole blanket.
