Free Crochet Masterclass: Fluffy Bear Brooch by Lilia Sharipova @moi_prelesti
In this tutorial, you will learn how to crochet a cute little bear brooch. The design is perfect for amigurumi beginners and requires yarn with a little fluff or fuzz, such as wool-blend yarn. The author recommends using Kamteks Dendy or Pekhorka Uspechnaya yarn. If you prefer a smoother finish, you can use a different yarn, but the bear will not be as fluffy.
Finished brooch size: approximately 5 cm.
