With the onset of cold weather, I especially want warmth and comfort, and I even want to wrap my handbag in something warm. And so the idea of a handbag in a hat and a scarf was born. And this bag became a soft and comfortable teddy bear, which is quite ready not only for autumn rains, but also for winter frosts and the first snow! Today I want to share with you Free Bear Bag Pattern. Let’s make it together!

Now join your two bag parts wrong sides together. Try to line up them up so they match. You are going to sc around the outside of them to attach them and you want to them to be perfectly lined up. Now stick your hook through both sides and pull the yarn through (like pictured below) and sc with the brown color.
But when you reach the top flap, let’s sc the top flap around, sc each stitch and make 2 sc at the edges:
Break yarn and fasten off.
Ears.
Open the top flap. Skip 2 sts from the end of the joined part and start working in the 3rd st. With yellow color yarn sc in the 3rd st from the end.
Then close the top flap and 8 tr in the 1 st on the top flap. Skip 3 sts and sc in the 4th st. Break yarn. Turn your work. With brown color yarn sc in the same st that you finished work with yellow yarn, 2 sc in the next 8 sts, sc in the last st ( the 1st you make with yellow color yarn).
2nd ear.
Skip 4 sts from the left end of the top flap and sc with yellow color yarn , 8 tr in the last st on the top flap. Then open the top flap, skip 2 sts from the end of the joined part and sc in the 3rd st. Break yarn. Turn your work. With brown color yarn sc in the same st that you finished work with yellow yarn, 2 sc in the next 8 sts, sc in the last st ( the 1st you make with yellow color yarn). Sew the magnetic closure.

For the nose I used the finer yarn of black color(read in the yarn description above).
Row 1: with black color yarn ch 7, then 5 dc in the 4th st from the hook, dc in the next 2 sts, 6 dc in the next st, dc in the next 2 sts, ss in the 3rd ch. Break yarn.
Sew the nose as you can see at the picture below with black color yarn. Then embroider the eyes with black color yarn.
Paws.
Skip 18 sts from the end of the ear and sc in the 19 st with grey color yarn. Skip 2 sts and 8 tr in the 3rd st, skip 2 sts and sc in the 3rd st. The first paw is ready. Break yarn.
Then skip 7 sts, sc in the 8th st, skip 2 sts and 8 tr in the 3rd st, skip 2 sts and sc in the 3rd st. The second paw is ready. Break yarn.
Now let’s make the second pair of paws.
Skip 2 sts and sc with brown color yarn in the next st, sc in the next st, hdc in the next st, dc in the next st, tr in the next st. Break yarn. With grey color yarn sc in the 1st sc of the brown part, skip next st, 5 tr in the next st and sc in the last st. We made the right paw.
Then turn your bag and work on the reverse side of the bag to make the left paw.
Skip 2 sts and sc with brown color yarn in the next st, sc in the next st, hdc in the next st, dc in the next st, tr in the next st. Break yarn. With grey color yarn sc in the 1st sc of the brown part, skip next st, 5 tr in the next st and sc in the last st.
All your paws are ready!
Scarf.
Row 1: Ch. 35 with grey color yarn, dc in the 4th st from the hook, dc in the next 30 sts. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 3, dc in the next 31 sts. Turn.
Row 3: Ch 3, dc in the next 31 sts. Break yarn.

Straps.
Look at the ear. Skip 7 sts and start working at the 8th st. Sc in the back loop of the 8th st with grey color yarn, sc in the back loops of the next 6 sts. Then work hdc in each st of the row and turn your work. Work till you have the enough length for you. I finished with 84 rows and 96 cm (38 inches)
Sew the end of the straps with grey color yarn to the 2nd ear symmetrically to 1 ear (sew to the back loops of stitches only!!!).
