Introducing my Crochet Bear Ornament Free Pattern. I wasn’t sure what to name this adorable little guy so I just called him Polar Bear Crochet Tree Ornament. It’s a quick and easy project to whip up for a last minute addition to your tree or a last minute gift.
If you’re prefer a bear other than a polar bear, you can use any of the other Fable Fur yarn colours to make a bear of a different colour.

Using Fur Yarn For Your Bear Head Ornament
Using fur yarn can be a little bit intimidating if you haven’t used it before. If you haven’t used faux yarn to crochet amigurumi before, this crochet bear ornament free pattern is a great pattern to finally give it a try.
The bear is small and quick to make so it’s not a huge commitment in terms of time or resources. Faux fur yarn is incredibly forgiving, so if you don’t have the tidiest seaming when putting your crochet bear ornament together, no one can tell. The fur hides it all and still looks great.
Check out my tips and tricks for using faux fur yarns in the video below so you can hit the ground running. If you’re looking to give faux fur yarns a try, I recommend using Fable Fur from WeCrochet. It’s my favourite faux fur yarn as it has a thick strap on the back of the yarn which helps you feel the stitches, even if you can’t see them.

Skill Level:
- Easy
Terminology:
- U.S. Terminology
Supplies:
- I / 5.5 mm Crochet Hook
- We Crochet Fairy Tale Fur (formerly Fable Fur) (Super Bulky (6), 100% Polyester, 71 yards/100g) in Eisbar (approx. 16 yards/15 m (22 g/0.78 oz))
- 2 – 12mm Black Safety Eyes
- 18mm Safety Nose
- Polyester Stuffing
- 12” piece of 3/8” (9mm) ribbon in preferred colour or piece of yarn.
- Tapestry Needle
- Scissors
- Stitch Marker

Abbreviations:
- CH = Chain
- FO = Finish Off
- MC = Magic Circle / Magic Ring
- SC = Single Crochet
- SCDEC = Single Crochet Decrease
- SCINC = Single Crochet Increase / 2 Single Crochet Stitches worked in the Same Stitch
- SL ST = Slip Stitch
- ST(s) = Stitch(es)
Finished Size:
- Approximately 3.5” tall
Gauge:
- 4 sts x 5.5 rows = 2” – Not vital to project as long as the same tension is maintained throughout the project and there are no holes that stuffing can be seen through.
Notes:
- A 5.5 mm hook is the recommended hook size for the furry parts of this project but if you find you are unable to feel your stitches, you can adjust your hook until you can more easily feel your stitches to know where to place your stitches. This may however affect your gauge and therefore, the amount of yarn needed.
- This pattern is worked in continuous rounds (unless stated otherwise). Do not join at the end of the row, unless indicated. A stitch marker is used to keep track of the beginning of the round.
- All pieces made in the Fairy Tale Fur/Fable Fur are worked and sewn onto the project with the wrong side facing out to show the better-looking side of the fur.
- Reading the Pattern: Instructions in brackets: I.e.: (SC, SCINC) x 6, this means you’ll work 1 SC stitch in the first stitch and then SCINC in the next and you’ll repeat that pattern a total of 6 times.
- Numbers indicated in () at the end of a Round/Row indicate the number of stitches you should have at the end of the Round/Row. I recommend counting your stitches at the end of each Round/Row before moving on to the next.
- Where SC followed by a number (i.e. SC 14), you’ll work 1 SC stitch in the next 14 stitches or chains, unless the pattern specifies to work those stitches into the same stitch or chain
- Magic Ring Substitution: If you struggle with the MC or your yarn breaks when you try to do a MC with it, use a CH 2 and work all Round 1 stitches into the 2nd chain from the hook.
- Use a regular single crochet decrease rather than an invisible decrease. You won’t see it with the fur anyway.
- Place scrap pieces of yarn or stitch markers into the stitches indicated for safety eye placement until you have crocheted past that point far enough to insert the safety eyes with the back on them without them getting in the way of your crocheting
- I recommend using sewing pins to help get the ideal placement of your pieces and to hold the pieces in place while you sew.
