This pattern for classic Pooh Bear is so cute! It makes for the perfect toy, especially for a baby’s nursery. If you’re making this as a toy for a young child or baby, be sure to embroider the eyes rather than using safety eyes.

You can also make this pattern using fuzzy yarn. I used yarn I found on Amazon called “Estako Softy” in a yellow color. I used a 5mm hook for this fuzzy yarn, even though the recommended size is a 6.5mm hook. Using a larger size hook makes the toy too floppy, try to size down!

If you’re new to using fuzzy yarn, don’t be afraid! The trick to using fuzzy yarn is to count the stitches as you go, rather than trying to see them. If you make a mistake and have too little or too many stitches at the end of the round, you can increase or skip stitches to get the correct stitch count. The beauty of fuzzy yarn is it’s ability to hide mistakes!

Head/Body:

In Yellow

We start by making the head which works down to the body. The head and body are worked in one continuous piece.

Round 1: 6 Sc into a Magic Ring (6)
Round 2: *Inc* all around (12)
Round 3: *Inc, Sc in the next st* all around (18)

Round 7: *Inc, Sc in the next 5 st* all around (42)
Round 8-13: *Sc* all around (42)
Now we will mark where to place the safety eyes. Add a different colored stitch marker into the 20th and 28th stitch in Round 13. Later we will replace these stitch markers with safety eyes.
Round 14: Sc in the next 20 st. *Inc* in the next 8 st. Sc in the next 14 st (50)

Nose Embroidery:

In Dark Grey

Using a long piece of dark grey yarn, embroider the nose my going through the same 4 stitches about 4-5 times to form the nose. Once done, tie the ends of yarn into firm knots. Bring the knots inside the toy to hide and cut any excess yarn.

Face Shaping:

In Yellow

The picture shows Eeyore, but the instructions are the same for Pooh Bear! Take a 12″ piece of yellow yarn and place it on a needle. Insert the needle into the toy’s bottom head area (Pic 1). Pull needle out next to the right of the toy’s eye (Pic 2). Reinsert needle to the left of the toy’s right eye (Pic 3). Pull needle out where shown, about 1 stitch over from where we originally inserted the needle (Pic 4). Reinsert needle 1 stitch over (Pic 5). Pull needle out at the right side of the left eye (Pic 6). Reinsert needle at the left side of the left eye (Pic 7). Pull needle out at the same stitch where we originally inserted out needle (Pic 8). Pull both ends of yarn firmly to tighten the toy’s face (Pic 9). Tie both ends of yarn together a few times to form a knot (Pic 10). Bring the tail ends of yarn into the toy’s head to hide the knot. Cut excess yarn. Done!

  1. i love this pattern so much, we have the classic winnie the pooh books and these look just like the pictures (so i’m saying They’re really good) they’er so cute too and i think i’ll make pooh soon (:

  2. Ahh this is so cute, especially the fuzzy versions – and exactly what I’m looking for my friends baby. I’m going to order the yarn, but curious, how much yarn was used for this pattern? I can’t seem to find that information on this page. Thank you! 🙂
