PATTERN
Teddy Bear Body
Take the Himalaya Dolphin Baby yarn in color 803337 and crochet hook #4.
Row 1: 8 SC in a magic ring (8)
Row 2: 8 INC (16)
Rows 3-6: 16 SC (4 rows)
You’ve completed one leg. Crochet the second one in the same way.
Now, you need to connect the two legs. To do this, create 3 chain stitches on one leg and then crochet a single crochet in the same stitch of the other leg. This joins the legs. Continue to crochet the next row.
Row 7: Continue crocheting around both legs. Count the stitches; you should have 40 stitches. If you have more or fewer stitches, adjust in the next row. (40)
Rows 8-13: 40 SC (6 rows)
Row 14: (8 SC, 1 DEC)*4 (36)
Row 15: (7 SC, 1 DEC)*4 (32)
Now, stuff the toy.
Row 16: (6 SC, 1 DEC)*4 (28)
Row 17: (5 SC, 1 DEC)*4 (24)
Row 18: (4 SC, 1 DEC)*4 (20)
Row 19: 8 SC, 1 DEC, 8 SC, 1 DEC (18)
Row 20: 7 SC, 1 DEC, 7 SC, 1 DEC (16)
Stuff the toy further.

Row 22: (2 SC, 1 INC)*8 (32)
Row 23: (3 SC, 1 INC)*8 (40)
Row 24: (4 SC, 1 INC)*8 (48)
Rows 25-28: 48 SC (4 rows)
Row 29: (6 SC, 1 DEC)*6 (42)
Row 30: (5 SC, 1 DEC)*6 (36)
At this point, it’s a good time to attach the safety eyes, typically between rows 8 and 9 counting from the neck. However, you can also attach them when the body is fully crocheted, as you prefer. Also, continue stuffing the neck area firmly to ensure the head won’t wobble.
Row 31: (4 SC, 1 DEC)*6 (30)
Row 32: (3 SC, 1 DEC)*6 (24)
Row 33: (2 SC, 1 DEC)*6 (18)
Stuff the toy a bit more.
Row 34: (1 SC, 1 DEC)*6 (12)
Row 35: 6 DEC (6)
Fasten off and close the opening.
The teddy bear body is complete.

Row 9: 1 DEC, 7 SC (8)
Row 10: 1 DEC, 6 SC (7)
Stuff the leg.

Row 5: (1 SC, 1 DEC)*6 (12)
Row 6: 6 DEC (6)
Stuff the tail.
Now, sew all the body parts (ears, legs, and tail) to the teddy bear body.

Row 1: 8 SC in a magic ring (8)

Then continue the pattern on the other side of the shorts. (Make sure to watch the video for guidance: [link to video])
Try the shorts on the teddy bear and determine the midpoint between the legs. Crochet 4 SC together from the inside to close the gap.
