Hi, welcome to crochet with Angie again. Today Craftsy Amore is going to show you an easy and cutest Crochet Loving Bear U Shape Travel Neck Pillow Free Pattern for you all during the Christmas season. I got some bright yarn stash here and talking to my friends at Thanksgiving party, a Chinese friend told me why not crochet some pillows for travel, kids will love them, and she showed me the pillow. OMG, you know what, they are too cute for all family members, and I may crochet some under my Christmas tree, secret gifts for my friends, too. It’s quite easy with basic Amigurumi sc, so fast to work out in a day. What I need to get now is more yarns in different colors, I need to make it unique for them.

Thank you. This is great. I will make one for my son.
You didn’t put the directions for making the ears
OUCH, thanks, missing arm pattern, the arm patterns was for ears, check both for update.
Do you finish off after left leg, then start right leg? If not, how do you make magic ring? Thank you.
Oh, yes. Just followe the Amigurumi techniques.
hi, love this pattern… going to make one for each of my grandbabies…
Just a couple of questions??? how long is the zipper and what is it’s function in this particular pattern??
cheers
The zipper is 14cm for Rd 72, it’s used to insert the pillow if you sew the inside pillow. it’s optional if you just put polyfill directly.
But change Rd 72 to all single crochet: Rd 72: sc in next 10 st, sc 32, sc in next 92st [134]
