Written pattern
Written by the designer in US terms, round by round, with the stitch count after each round and the assembly at the end.
Bear Skill level: easy. DK weight yarn (CYC 3), 3.5 mm hook. US terms. Work round pieces in a continuous spiral; mark the first stitch of each round. Work the scarf back and forth in rows. Keep the start of each round at the centre back: the assembly notes count from there, with the front opposite it. Estimated gauge: 16.7 sc and 20.0 rounds per 10 cm. Check with a sample before relying on the dimensions. Scarf rows use the same gauge estimate; verify flat crochet separately. Rnd(s) = round(s), sc = single crochet, inc = 2 sc in the same stitch, dec = invisible decrease, st = stitch, ch = chain Stitch maths checked: every round uses exactly the stitches of the round before. Colours: tan, brown. Yarn (an estimate with 15% spare): about 55 m tan, about 15 m brown. Also: stuffing, a stitch marker and a yarn needle. Techniques Magic ring: wrap the yarn into a loop, work the first round into it, then pull the tail to close the hole. Invisible decrease (dec): insert the hook through the front loop of each of the next 2 stitches, yarn over and pull through both loops, yarn over and pull through the 2 loops on the hook. Changing colour: work the last stitch before the change until 2 loops remain, then finish it with the new colour. Closing a piece: thread the tail on the yarn needle, go through the front loop of each remaining stitch and pull it tight. Toy safety: for children under 3, embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes, and sew every piece on securely. Left-handed: follow the same instructions; your spiral turns the other way, which changes no count.
