Sound Familiar?
Amigurumi 'in pajamas' patterns usually only show you the finished bear in one color, so it's hard to tell whether the nightcap and belt bow are actually simple to construct or just simple to draw.
The Solution
Sleepy Bear separates the hat, body, and bow into their own short sections, and the same six colorways in the photos were all made from this one pattern - proof that swapping yarn is the only thing that changes between them.
About This Pattern
Sleepy Bear is a cuddly amigurumi teddy dressed for bed in his own knit nightcap and pajama set, finished with a knotted bow belt. The same pattern shown here has been made in six different colorways by six different makers, proof that swapping yarn is the only thing you need to change to make him your own.
- Tech-edited PDF pattern (US terms)
- Video tutorial included
- Step-by-step photo instructions for the nightcap, pajama body, and bow
- Finished size and yardage guide
You Can Do This
The nightcap is just a tapered tube worked in half double crochet, and the bow is two chains tied together after stuffing - there's no shaping technique here you haven't already used on a simpler amigurumi.
