***You can purchase an INEXPENSIVE AD-FREE PDF of this pattern on Etsy HERE. The printable PDF with step-by-step pictures has been condensed into a total of 4 pages including the cover page! The step-by-step blog post about the Fluff Bears can be found HERE!
These little fluff bears are warm, fuzzy, and oh so sweet! Coco and Mochi are made of a special novelty yarn called eyelash yarn that is more difficult to work with than your typical acrylic or cotton yarn, so embark on this project if you are up for a challenge! Even though the individual stitches are difficult to see when working with eyelash yarn, this also means that it is more forgiving since it is harder to see mistakes!
These teddies would make wonderful gifts this winter, and why not personalize them by having them hold or wear different objects (e.g. guitar, book, hat, ballerina tutu) based on your interests or the interests of the person you are gifting them to!
Materials:
- Eyelash yarn: (1) for Mochi: white bulky (5) yarn [I used Patons Allure in “Diamond”]; (2) for Coco: beige medium (4) yarn [I used Loops & Threads Luxurious Fur in “Lynx”]
- Beige lightweight (3) mercerized cotton yarn [I used Patons Grace in “Natural”]
- Embroidery floss: brown for Mochi’s nose, light pink for Coco’s nose, deep pink for Mochi’s yarn ball and Coco’s scarf
- 2.00 mm Clover Amour crochet hook and 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle (bent tip helpful for attaching amigurumi parts- see HERE)
- Fiberfill
- 9 mm safety eyes
- Beige felt for noses
- Glue gun
- Wire (for crochet hook) and scrapbook flower
Important Notes:
- I worked in continuous rounds (vs. joined rounds).
- I used a 3.5 mm crochet hook when working with the eyelash yarn and a 2.00 mm crochet hook when working with the lightweight yarn and embroidery floss (for Coco’s scarf).
- When working with the eyelash yarn, be sure that the “wrong side” is facing outwards as it is fluffier than the “right side” (read about “The Right Side of Amigurumi” HERE).
