Frost the Polar Bear: Free Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Frost is a chubby white polar bear with little round ears, a soft cream muzzle and a cosy blue cord scarf. He is the easiest of our winter friends: every piece is a round shape in single crochet.

Make him in a fluffy white yarn for a snowy look or in cotton for crisp stitches. The step-by-step photos show every part, and at the end you can turn him into a brown bear cub with the same pattern.

Frost the Polar Bear Free Crochet Pattern

What You’ll Need

  • Sport / fine (size 2) cotton yarn in white, cream and blue, plus a little black for the nose

  • A pair of 10 mm safety eyes
  • Fiberfill stuffing
  • Tapestry needle, sewing pins and a stitch marker

The finished size depends on your yarn and hook: thicker yarn and a bigger hook make a bigger Frost.

FAQ

Can I use fluffy yarn?

Yes, a soft fluffy or velvet white yarn gives a snowy look. The stitches are harder to see, so count carefully and use a stitch marker.

How do I keep a white toy clean?

Wash your hands before you start and keep the yarn in a bag. A finished toy can be hand washed in cool water and dried flat.

Is it safe for babies?

Safety eyes can come loose with hard play. For a baby, embroider the eyes with black yarn instead.
