Crochet Pattern of the Day: Klondike the Snow Bear

December 28, 2014 by AllFreeCrochet 5 Comments

SONY DSCWhether or not it’s snowing in your hometown, it’s certainly time to embrace winter. This past week, I went to Chicago’s Zoo Lights display at the Lincoln Park Zoo and saw some of my favorite animals playing in the snow. Unfortunately, the polar bears were sleeping, but luckily I have this super cute amigurumi pattern to make instead!

It’s impossible to resist Klondike the Snow Bear. Kids of all ages will love playing with this super cute crochet pattern. Get the full crochet pattern below, and find even more amigurumi crochet patterns right here.

Special thanks to Rhondda Mol of Oombawka Design for this exclusive crochet pattern!

    Loving the pattern, but a quick question…how do u attach the ears? I seem to be missing the step for that 🙂

      After I attach the eyes, I stuff the head before attaching the muzzle and ears.

      I do not have a specific place to place the ears. I do assemble the head fully before proceeding to the body of the bear. I attach the muzzle first and then the ears. This way you can center the ears based on the muzzle (nose). I try to keep them equal distance apart along the center line of the head.

      I hope this helps!
