[…] by my early Teddy Bear Coaster crochet pattern, 5 more friends were born! Meet the bunny rabbit, dog, duck, elephant and turtle. All are friendly […]
Rachel,
I used a larger hook and two strands of yarn throughout and made your teddy bear coaster into a PJ bag for my granddaughter by making two bodies. I crocheted them together, leaving a space for a zipper that I sewed in by hand. It turned out really cute!
Your pattern is great!
That’s an awesome idea Cathy! I’m glad that it turned out great 🙂
this are so cute thanks for sharing
my granddaughter loved them shes
my crochet partner. shes l0
Awww how cute are those, Great job!!! Keep up good work!
Hi Rachel,
I’ve finished the pencil case pattern, I now continue with this teddy bear coaster, I’m planing to give this to a boy as his birthday is coming soon.. I’m so happy and excited to learn your pattern here! I finished making the four limbs, ears and body, I have some problems doing the head, as I dont know when to stuff in the fiberfill and how to decrease after that. I’ve no problem doing the limbs and stuff in fiberfill and also making the decrease instructions stated.. And also instructions on how to sew all these parts to the base coaster.Please guide me, thank you!
Hi Cherine,
You stuff the head after you finish it. There will be an opening at the bottom of the head when you are done. Don’t worry about decreasing it closed. Instead, sew it closed when you are sewing it to the body. You can whip stitch the head and limbs to the end of the body as positioned in the picture.
Thank you Rachel, I’m going to do it right now.. haha.. Bye!
Hi Rachel,
I finished the pattern followed all your instructions, and I added a tiny scarf attached around the teddy’s neck and it looked so great!! Thank you Rachel..Next I’m going to make the fish in ocean bookmark, your clear tutorial and prompt reply really motivates me! Cheers!
Great! Glad I can help!
I’m just about to try this adorable project, thank you!
One quick question: could I start with a magic circle instead of ch2, 8sc?
I’m new to magic circles but when I do ‘non-magic’ ones I always have a big hole in the center.
thanks
Hi Mia, yes you can use a magic circle to replace the ch 2.
Thank you!
Hi Rachel,
Sorry to ask another question but for the head when you say: “Round 9: (decrease, sc in next sc) around” do you mean ‘do a decrease and then single crochet in the next stitch”?
I’m still new to crochet so I’ve never done decreasing before and I want to try and get it right!
Thanks
Yes, you do a decrease and then make a single crochet in the next stitch. You repeat the instructions in the ( ) all the way around the round. Here is the link to the decrease tutorial: How to Crochet Single Crochet Decrease
Let me know if you need more help.
I love this pattern! I’m gonna try to make a rug-sized version for my sister-in-law; hope it turns out as adorable as your coasters!
Wooooowwww it’s so lovely..!!! i love it so much.. i can’t wait to try to make one 🙂 thank you so much for letting us to learn this pattern for free…
[…] Katheryn uses the Teddy Bear Coaster Crochet Pattern. […]
Absolutely adorable! Thank you! 🙂
I’ve just started this pattern and I think it should be 6sc not 8sc to start the Body? And should it be 6sc not 8sc on the other sections? Love the design 🙂
Hi Shana, this coaster I did do with 8sc. Other coasters I’ve designed more recently I’ve used 6sc though. Either way would work 🙂
What an adorable coaster! A question though: The head ends with: “Round 9: (decrease, sc in next sc) around,†leaving an opening in the head. Are we supposed to close that? Did I miss part of the instructions or am I misunderstanding something?
Hello! You can whip stitch the opening closed when you sew it to the coaster. Let me know if you need more help with it!
I think this coaster is adorable. Thank you for posting it free. You are so nice to put on raverly.thank again
