Large Grizzly Bear - Free Amigurumi Pattern

I decided that I wanted to make a larger version of my free bear amigurumi pattern, and this is the result! If you want it even bigger, try thicker yarn and a larger hook size. Just like my smaller bear pattern, you can use this pattern to make any kind of bear plushie you'd like, from polar bears to kermode bears!

Attaching Parts

Start by sewing the ears to the top of the head. Sew them slightly cupped, like a satellite dish, over rounds 17 to 18.

 Now sew on the front legs. I sewed mine over rounds 18-23 approximately.

Next, sew the back legs. I sewed mine over rounds 27-33 approximately.

 Finally, sew the tail to the bum, closer to the top of the back.
