Meet Lili's teeny tiny bear friend! - free amigurumi pattern

I am so excited to share this free bear crochet pattern with you all today! You might have seen sneak peeks of one of my latest doll creation, the adorable Lili. Well, every sweet doll needs a little companion, right? And Lili is no exception! She has the cutest, tiniest crocheted bear.

And because I know you're going to love him too, I'm sharing the free bear crochet pattern for him right here! This little amigurumi bear is a dream to make. Seriously, it's such a quick crochet project – we're talking a potential crochet in 1 hour situation if you're speedy! The best part? It's a low sew crochet pattern!

This tiny bear is perfect as a little friend for your dolls (like my Lili!), but he'd also make an adorable keychain. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not try crocheting him with plush yarn? He'd be so much bigger and incredibly soft, perfect for cuddles! :)

While this little bear is a freebie for you all, his best friend Lili, the doll he was designed for, has her full pattern available in my Etsy shop if you fancy making the complete duo! If you want her pattern, just CLICK HERE!

So, grab your hook and some scrap yarn, and get ready to create some tiny cuteness. Enjoy this easy and quick low sew crochet pattern!
