Free Pattern – Frontline Hero Bear

by

Yarn It Darn It has created the most adorable Amigurumi Frontline Hero Bear pattern! To make it even more amazing you can grab it for free by downloading this free PDF of the Hero Bear. Be sure to support their blog and check out the rest of their Crochet page.

Hero bears are trending right now, they are perfect for gifting and also for kids to play with, in this troubling time. How about making some and hanging on to them till the end of this craziness and then gifting them to the hospital staff in a few months time when all of this is over and the gratitude for them has dwindled out of the media.

 

Can’t crochet but looking for the bears? We found these on Etsy.

Girls Crochet Handbags – A Sweet Little Crochet Bag Pattern With Vintage Charm

This is a cute, no-fuss crochet bag pattern that feels very handmade in the nicest possible way. The Girls Crochet Handbags project on CraftBits uses Lily Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn, a 5 mm hook, and simple single crochet rows to create an easy tote-style bag, finished with straps and little crochet flowers for extra detail.

What I like about this one is that it is simple enough to play around with. The pattern suggests changing colours to make stripes or edging, so it would be easy to match it to a child’s outfit or just use up those leftover cotton yarn bits we all keep pretending are “too useful to throw away.” The sample bag is worked to around 50 rows, so you can also tweak the size a little if needed.

It definitely has that older-style craft pattern feel, which can be charming, but it also means you may need to read through the instructions carefully before starting. Even one of the comments mentions the wording being a little confusing, so I would say this is best for crocheters who are comfortable filling in the occasional gap rather than absolute beginners wanting lots of hand-holding.
