IMPORTANT: You are buying a PDF crochet pattern, NOT the finished toy.
This pattern is included in English AND German – both PDF versions are part of the download.
Boris is a bear on his summer holiday: with striped swim shorts, blue and white sliders, a red cap and a yellow swim ring with a duck head. Head and body are worked in one piece in the round, which saves you sewing the head on. The swim shorts are made from two legs joined by a gusset, the cap from six separate panels with the peak worked straight on and a button on top.
Photo note: The crocheted item is real and made by me. On some photos the background was AI-generated or digitally edited.
If you run into any trouble, or if an error has slipped in somewhere: please message me FIRST, before leaving a review – we'll sort it out together!
Skills Required / What You'll Receive
Required skills: magic ring, chain, single crochet, slip stitch, half double, double and treble crochet, increase, decrease and skipping stitches, working both in rounds and in rows, changing colours mid-row for the striped sliders, stuffing pieces and sewing them on, embroidering letters.
The pattern is a detailed step-by-step PDF with lots of photos. Every round is written out individually, with stitch counts.
Boris is the most varied of these patterns: many small pieces and several techniques, but none of them difficult.
