Crochet a Cozy Polar Bear With Colorful Winter Details
The pattern combines classic amigurumi shaping with integrated stripe changes, separate eye pads, a dimensional muzzle, embroidered facial details, and an internal armature that supports the raised arm. Matching ribbed trim gives the striped body a polished finish, while the multicolor scarf adds extra texture and personality. Sized to stay under 20 cm with the recommended yarn and hook, this free crochet project works especially well as a decorative winter figure or a distinctive handmade display piece.

Notes
Work amigurumi sections in continuous spirals unless stated otherwise. Mark the first stitch of each Round.
Target gauge is approximately 32 sc × 34 Rounds = 10 cm / 4 in in tight single crochet. Keep the finished bear under 20 cm by maintaining this gauge.
For stripe changes, complete the final pull-through of the previous Round with the new color.
The sweater is integrated into the Body and Arms. The ribbed hem and cuffs are added separately. The scarf is removable.
Armature: Fold each end of the 24 cm wire back 1 cm to eliminate sharp ends. Wrap each folded end 2–3 times, then wrap the entire wire with floral tape or yarn. Form a flat 2 cm U-bend at the midpoint. Sew this center bend securely inside the upper back of the Body between Rnds 30–32 before the Head is attached. Guide one wrapped wire end through each shoulder and into each Arm, ending inside the paw. Stuff around the wire without forcing or exposing it.
Because the finished bear contains internal wire and safety eyes, treat it as a decorative amigurumi figure rather than a child-safe toy.
