HOW TO MAKE THE BEAR?
Head
The magic ring is the first round; we will always crochet our work in a spiral, so it is necessary to use the stitch marker at the beginning of each round, this way we will never get lost.
1st rnd. Start by crocheting a magic ring of 6 sc. 2nd rnd. Crochet 2 sc in each stitch, repeat, (12 st) 3rd rnd. Crochet 1 sc and make 1 inc. in the next stitch, repeat, (18 st) 4th rnd.

Ears (make 2)
Crochet the same as the snout, (24 st). Fold each piece in half and sew it, obtaining a semicircle. Leave a tail for sewing to the head.
ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING
Carefully observe the photo before attaching the different parts to the body.
With the tapestry needle, sew the ears to the head. Embroider the nose and mouth in black on the snout.
Sew the arms and legs.
Make a bow around the neck with the ribbon.
FINISHED PRODUCT
The little bow is the final touch. For presentation, we suggest wrapping it in clear paper and hanging it from a balloon in the child's favorite color. They are sure to love it!
