MIniature Crocheted Bear Rugs
And because this is the first edition...I added part two, scroll down for an EASIER REVISED edition...for beginners Marylou of MeriBears http://members.tripod.com/merilu88/bear_rugs Bear Rug BodyBy Marylou/Meribears Use thread OR yarn of any size with a hook accordingly so it crochets up tight. larger yarn(bulky's) make larger rugs. Smaller thread makes tinier.. I use mostly Embroidery Punch Yarn doubled, thats why they look fuzzy, equilivant to a size 10 in cro thread with a sz 12 hooks.. Or like my picture I believe I used chenille with a size 10 hook. Use what is comfy to you.. Use white for Polar bears brown for brown bears.. black for black bears reddish brown for Grizzly bears etc etc ch - chain sc - single crochet st - sttitch hdc - half double crochet sl st - slip stitch dc - double crochet sk st - skip stitch tog - take two stitches dec to one dec - decrease hdc= half dble crochet- YO and pull thru all 3 loops. ch 28, do not twist the chain. row 1 - in 3rd chain from hook start hdc.. counting the two start ch as one hdc. hdc each st in the ch.. ch 2, turn (27st) row 2 - st 1st 2 hdc tog, 23 hdc, last 2 hdc tog, ch 2 turn (25 st) row 3 - st 1st 2 hdc tog, 21 hdc, last two hdc tog, ch 2, turn (23 st) row 4 - sl st 5 st, ch 2 (counts as one hdc), hdc 12, ch 2, turn (13 st) row 5 - 13 hdc, ch 2 turn (13 st) row 6 - 13 hdc, ch 8 turn (13 hdc, 8 ch) row 7 - keeping ch straight, hdc in 3rd ch from hook (counts as one hdc, 6 hdc, 11 hdc, ch 8 turn (18 st, ch 8) row 8 - hdc in 3rd ch fm hook(counts as one hdc), 6 hdc, 11 hdc, 5 hdc, last two hdc tog, ch 2 turn. (24 st) row 9 - 21 hdc, the last two hdc tog, ch 2 turn. ( 23 st) row 10 - 16 hdc, hdc, ch 2 turn (16 st) row 11 - 1st 2 hdc tog, 6 hdc, last 2 hdc tog, ch 1 turn (8 st) DO NOT tie off. OUTLINE You want to give your rug a finished look.. so we are going to outline it. First fold back legs to find a center and mark it with a small piece of different colored thread for later for tail placement *now go back to your hook and place a sc all around the exterior of the rug..when you come to a corner.. 3 sc around each corner.. * * Tail.. when you come to that piece of string.. in one st, sc, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sc and go on with your outline. This should be noted as the top of the bear body. Now you have finished your body rug.. lets do the head. Head of the bear for the bear rug Leave a tail in string for pulling through and use for counting rows. Row 1 - ch 2, in 2nd chain from the hook, 8 sc, continuous rounds.. (8st) row 2 - 2 sc each st (16 st) Row 3 & 4 - sc each st (16 st) Row 5 - 4 sc, 2 sc each st x 8, 4 sc (24 st) Row 6 - 8 sc, 2 sc each st x 8, 8 sc (32 st) Row 7 & 8 - sc each st around Row 9 - 10 sc, 2 sc tog, 6 sc, 2 sc tog, 11 sc (29 St) Row 10 & 11 & 12 - sc each st around Stuff partially Row 13& 14 - Start decreasing.. * 2 sc tog, 1 sc* repeat from * Row 15 - sl st every other st to close..tie off Ears: ch 2 - in 2nd st from hook; 2 sc, 2 hdc, 2 dc, 2hdc, 2sc, ch 1 and turn row 2 - sc in back loop only to end .. tie off leaving a string tail of 12" for sewing onto bear. Attach the ears to head.. make sure they are straight. sew on two black beads for eye.. Placement of eyes.. use 2 ball headed pins.. replace with beads.. nose: use a straight stitch from: . _______ . and then go around it: clockwise till full and give it a line in center down to a mouth..you can add a small upside down " Y " or leave it straight. Attach the head to body...place head on the top of the bear body. Congratulations..you have made your bear rug... NOTE* Because one of my members made a mistake and turned the body so its outstretched arms were in front of the body instead of on the side..We decided this was good too ./.. simply put the tail inbetween the two back legs like the directions state.. only turn the body..* Either way is great..ML Easier Bear Rug Pattern for Beginners Easy Bear Rug Body for those who have problems with the above pattern; REVISED Use a size 10 crochet thread..with a size 11 or 12 hook... Use white for Polar bears brown for brown bears.. black for black bears reddish brown for Grizzly bears.. ***And** you don’t have to use thread..you can use yarn (The larger sized yarn or thread the larger the rug will be and visa versa).. just make sure When you size your hook there arent many gaps in the rug body itself.. If there are ..you need to downsize your hook and make your stitches tighter. * ALSO* I have the rug in picture turned different than in the previous picture to show you you can do it either way.. Put the head and tail on the long sides to make the rug stretch out or put the head and tail between the two sets of legs..So its legs stretch out in front of him. Either way is good.. ch - chain sc - single crochet st - sttitch hdc - half double crochet sl st - slip stitch dc - double crochet sk st - skip stitch tog - take two stitches dec to one dec - decrease ch 29, do not twist the chain. row 1 - in 3rd chain from hook start hdc.. counting the two start ch as one hdc. hdc each st in the ch.. ch 2, turn over (27st) row 2 - hdc across, ch 2 and turn over(27) row 3 - hdc across, ch 2 and turn over (27) row 4 - sl st 7 st, sl st in nx st and ch 2 (counts as one hdc), hdc 12, ch 2, turn over. This makes the middle of the body. (13 st) row 5 - 13 hdc, ch 2 turn turn over (13 st) row 6 - 13 hdc, ch 9 turn over (13 hdc,9 ch) row 7 - keeping ch straight, hdc in 3rd ch from hook (counts as one hdc, 6 hdc, 11 hdc, ch 9 turn over (18 st, ch9) row 8 - hdc in 3rd ch fm hook(counts as one hdc), 6 hdc, then continue down the body part and do 11 hdc, and over to the other leg continue and make 6 hdc , ch 2 turn.
