Seasonal Styling Ideas

• Rnd 2: inc ×6. [12]
• Rnds 3–4: 12 sc around. [12]
• Stuff lightly.
• Rnd 5: dec ×6. [6]

FO, pull the opening closed, and leave a long tail for sewing.

Bear Snout

Use cream / milk white yarn.

• Rnd 1: 8 sc in MR. [8]

Pull the ring tight. Sl st to close if needed, then FO.

Using dark brown embroidery thread, embroider a tiny nose in the center of the snout. Add a small mouth under the nose. You may sew the snout to the bear face or attach it carefully with fabric glue.

Face Details

Attach the safety eyes to the cream toast face before sewing the back piece. Place the eyes between Rounds 3 and 4. Leave about 5 stitches between the eyes. Place the snout around Rounds 1 and 2, centered between the eyes. Sew the ears symmetrically near the top crust, around Round 9. Leave about 12 stitches between the ears. Use dark brown thread to embroider any extra face details, such as a tiny mouth or soft cheek expression.

Bear Toast Back

Use golden brown yarn. Crochet a second piece using the same shaping and stitch counts as R1–R16 of the front. Keep the back completely golden brown; no cream color change is needed. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Important: The front and back should finish with the same outer stitch count and approximately the same dimensions so the edges align neatly during assembly.

Assembly

Place the back piece behind the front piece with the wrong sides facing each other. Use stitch markers to hold the pieces in place. Sew the front and back together with golden brown yarn, matching the stitches evenly around the edge. When the toast is about halfway sewn closed, add a small amount of fiberfill. Do not overstuff. The toast should stay soft and slightly flat like a mini slice of bread. Finish sewing closed and hide the yarn tail.

Pumpkin

Use orange yarn.

• Row 1: Ch 10. Starting in the 2nd ch from the hook, work 9 hdc. Turn. [9]
• Rows 2–10: BLO 9 hdc. Turn. [9]

FO, leaving a long tail for sewing and shaping.

Shaping the Pumpkin

Fold the rectangle so Row 1 and Row 10 meet. Sew the two short edges together to form a small tube. Thread the yarn tail around one open edge and pull tightly to close. Secure with a knot. Add a small amount of stuffing inside the pumpkin. Thread the yarn around the second opening and pull tightly to close. To create the pumpkin shape, pass the yarn through the center of the pumpkin and around the outside about 5 times, pulling gently each time to form pumpkin grooves. Secure the yarn and hide the tail.

Pumpkin Stem

Use grass green yarn.

• Ch 4. Starting in the 2nd ch from the hook, work: 3 sc.

FO and leave a tail for sewing. Sew the stem to the center top of the pumpkin.

Final Assembly

1. Prepare the Front and Back: Check that both toast pieces are approximately the same size and shape. Weave in any yarn tails that will not be used for sewing.
2. Add the Face: Position the eyes, nose, and mouth on the front toast piece before joining the front and back. Check that the face is centered and balanced. Add optional pink blush to the cheeks.
3. Attach the Bear Ears: Position one ear near each upper corner of the toast. Pin both ears first to check symmetry, then sew them securely to the front piece.
4. Attach the Mini Pumpkin: Place the crochet pumpkin where you want it on the front of the toast. Pin it first, then sew around the back of the pumpkin with small hidden stitches. Make sure the stem points upward and the pumpkin sits flat against the toast.
5. Join Front and Back: Place the front and back pieces together with the wrong sides facing inward. Sew evenly around the outside edge, matching corresponding stitches.
6. Stuff the Toast: Before closing the final section, add small amounts of fiberfill. Keep the stuffing light to moderate so the toast stays flat and soft rather than becoming round like a ball.
7. Close the Opening: Finish sewing the remaining edge and hide the yarn tail inside the amigurumi.
8. Add Keychain Hardware — Optional: Sew a strong yarn loop through several stitches at the top of the toast, preferably between the ears. Reinforce it several times before attaching the jump ring and keychain clasp.
9. Final Shaping: Gently shape the toast, ears, and pumpkin with your fingers. Check that all sewn pieces are secure and weave in any remaining yarn tails.

Tips

• Tip: Pin the ears, face, and pumpkin in position before sewing. Small changes in placement can make a big difference to the finished expression.
• For a cleaner, handmade finish, hide all yarn tails inside the toast body.
• Use small, tight stitches when attaching the ears and pumpkin so they stay secure.
• Do not overstuff the toast. A little fiberfill is enough to give it shape while keeping it flat and soft.
• If your pumpkin looks too round, gently press it between your fingers and pull the groove wraps a little tighter.
• If your toast edges curl, shape the piece with your hands after stuffing and sewing.
• For a softer kawaii look, add tiny blush marks under the eyes using pink yarn, felt, or pastel powder.

FAQs

Is this Mini Bear Pumpkin Toast Crochet Pattern beginner-friendly?

Yes, this pattern is suitable for confident beginners. The main shape uses simple increases, half double crochet rounds, and basic sewing. The pumpkin shaping may need a little patience, but it is still easy to follow.

Can I make this bear toast bigger?

Yes. Use thicker yarn and a larger hook to make a bigger version. Keep in mind that the finished size, stuffing amount, and eye size will also change.

Can I use plush yarn for this pattern?

You can use plush yarn, but the tiny details may become larger and harder to control. Cotton or milk cotton yarn is easier for a clean mini keychain finish.

Can I make the pumpkin removable?

Yes. Instead of sewing the pumpkin permanently, you can attach it with a small snap button. This lets you remove or change the decoration.

Can I sell the finished crochet item?

Yes, you can sell the finished handmade item in small quantities. Please credit TopAmigurumi for the pattern when possible and do not resell or copy the written pattern as your own.
