Miguel the Bear – Free Amigurumi Pattern

Meet Miguel, a cute little bear who loves to travel, study, or play with you.
This is a free amigurumi bear pattern – simple, beginner-friendly, and full of charm.
Miguel was my very first amigurumi design, and I hope you’ll enjoy making him as much as I did!

I used acrylic and cotton yarn to test the pattern, but you can choose your favorite colors to make Miguel truly yours.
