Free Crochet Masterclass: Plush Bear “Velluto” by Olga Lukyanova (@olga_lukjanova.toys)
In this masterclass, you will learn how to crochet an adorable plush teddy bear using a crochet hook. This soft and cuddly toy is made with plush yarn, giving it a warm and cozy texture. To make your bear even more charming, you can decorate it with a satin ribbon or add a small crocheted scarf around its neck.
This pattern uses Alize Velluto plush yarn (100 g / 68 m) for the main body of the bear and Alize Softy Plus yarn for the muzzle. One skein of the main color is enough to complete the bear.
