Any good news in that morning paper, little sleepy bear?

This pattern (US terminology, amigurumi style) will guide you to crochet an adorable sleepy bear with monster slippers and a sleeping cap, as shown in pictures, made using acrylic DK yarn and crochet hook E (3.5 mm).

Finished size will be approx. 11” (28 cm) tall. If you wish to make a larger or smaller version of this amigurumi, you can just use thicker or thinner yarn with a matching size crochet hook.
If so, you will need different amounts of yarn and different size safety eyes than stated in the materials list. This pattern is also suitable for wool or cotton yarn. Stylecraft Special DK was used to create the amigurumi in the pictures.

Skill level: intermediate
Gauge: not important for this pattern, just crochet tight enough so the stuffing will not show through the stitches.

Enjoy crocheting!
