AMIGURUMI TEDDY BEAR

On my journey to making a business from my arts, I decided to take a year and learn new techniques, patterns, etc. While doing some research, I discovered AMIGURUMI.  Amigurumi is a Japanese style of crocheted stuffed animals, dolls, etc.  I just knew that I had to try this! 

So here is my first attempt at making an amigurumi teddy bear.

FINISHED BEAR

Here she is. My very first Amigurumi teddy bear.  I can definitely see where I need improvement, but I am still very satisfied with the way she turned out.  I don't like the way the legs are attached, nor am I too fond of the face, so I'm going to work on learning a different method of attaching the legs and maybe get some actual eyes or use buttons for eyes.  Overall, she was easy to make and I can't wait to make more!

Here is the tutorial I watched to learn how to make this bear: 

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Hooking!
