Step By Step Pattern
Leaf
Yarn: Green
- Chain 10 and start in the second loop:
- Crochet: 1 ss, 1 ss, 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 2 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in the same stitch, 1 hdc, 3 hdc in the same stitch.
- Continue on the other side of the chain. You now have 8 loops to crochet the following: 1 hcd, 2 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in the same stitch, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1 ss, 1 ss.
- Cut the yarn and leave a long tail. Sew the yarn down through the leaf. You can pull a little to adjust the appearance of the leaf. Make two or three.
Orange
The orange consists of a top and a bottom. Now, you have to make the first part of the orange:
Yarn: Yellow
- 1.rd: Start with 6 sc in the magic ring (6)
- 2.rd: *1 inc* x 6 (12)
- 3.rd: *1 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (18)
- 4.rd: *2 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (24)
- 5.rd: *3 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (30)
- 6.rd: *4 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (36)
- 7.rd: *5 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (42)
now, Yarn: White
- 8.rd: *6 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (48)
Yarn: Orange
- 9.rd: *7 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (54)
Cut the yarn, fasten all ends and sew on the white details.
Now you have to make the bottom, which will become the other half part of the orange:
Yarn: Orange
- 1.rd: Start with 6 sc in the magic ring
- 2.rd: *1 inc* x 6 (12)
- 3.rd: *1 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (18)
- 4.rd: *2 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (24)
- 5.rd: *3 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (30)
- 6.rd: *1 sc in each stitch* (30)
- 7.rd: *4 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (36)
- 8.rd: *5 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (42)
- 9.rd: *6 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (48)
- 10.rd: *7 sc, 1 inc* x 6 (54)
- 11.-15.rd: *1 sc in each stitch* (54)
Cut the yarn and leave a long string. Use this to sew the top and bottom together.
First, sew the leaves to the bottom. I usually do it through the magic ring. When done, fill the bottom with teddy bear stuffing. Cut a cardboard disc of approx. 6-6.5 cm in diameter and glue it to the top. This should make sure to keep the flat shape and keep the teddy bear filling in place. Put the two parts together. Now sew through the front loop on the bottom part and both loops on the top.
