IMPORTANT: You are buying a PDF pattern, NOT the finished item.

The pattern comes in ONE file, in German and in English.

Crochet pattern for a teddy and polar bear hat in three sizes – an instant download PDF, in English and in German in one file.

An earflap hat with a bear's face: a muzzle sewn on, a black nose, round eyes and two ears, plus braided ties on the flaps. The same pattern gives you two animals – in white with a light grey muzzle it becomes a polar bear, in brown with a rust muzzle a teddy. Both colourways are given side by side throughout, so there is nothing to work out. It comes in three sizes, from toddler to adult.

Worked in rounds and in rows.

You should know these stitches:
chain, single crochet, slip stitch, magic ring, half double crochet, decrease, hdc2tog and increase.

Every round is written out separately with the stitch count at the end. The hat runs entirely in half double crochet; every round starts with 2 chains and is closed with a slip stitch – and that is repeated with every size.

Three sizes:

• Size 1: head circumference 45–50 cm · height without ear flaps 15 cm · with ear flaps 23 cm
• Size 2: head circumference 50–55 cm · height without ear flaps 18 cm · with ear flaps 26 cm
• Size 3: head circumference from 55 cm · height without ear flaps 20 cm · with ear flaps 28 cm
