Step-by-Step Instructions
HEAD:
Create a magic ring with the craft color yarn.
Work 6 SC into the magic ring (use the smallest crochet hook recommended for tight stitches).
Mark the sixth stitch and pull to close the ring.
Round 2: SC increase in each stitch (total 12 stitches).
Round 3: Repeat the pattern of 1 SC, 1 increase (total 18 stitches).
Round 4: Start with 1 SC, followed by 5 repetitions of 2 SC, 1 increase (total 24 stitches).
Round 5: Repeat 3 SC, 1 increase pattern around (total 30 stitches).
Round 6: Begin with 2 SC, then 5 repetitions of 4 SC, 1 increase (total 36 stitches).
With 36 stitches, make 23 slip stitches.
Create 7 double crochets in the same place for the bear’s ear.
Follow with 10 slip stitches and repeat the double crochets for the second ear.
Finish with a slip stitch to secure. Weave in ends with a needle.
SNOUT:
Using white yarn, create a magic ring and chain 3.
Make 11 DC in the ring and slip stitch to the top of the chain 3.
Complete with 11 slip stitches, cut and secure yarn on the wrong side.
Attach the finished snout, eyes, and keyring using glue. Optionally, add the satin ribbon bow.
Size Adjustments
To adjust the size of your bear, you can alter the yarn thickness and hook size. Using thicker yarn and a larger hook will create a bigger keychain, whereas thinner yarn and a smaller hook result in a smaller one. Adjust the stitch counts proportionally to maintain the bear’s shape.
