Amigurumi Crochet Pattern: Everett the Backpacking Bear

A crocheted bear wearing a white and yellow sweater has a green backpack with brown straps and a rolled up sleeping mat.

Meet the newest member to join the Moonbeam amigurumi family: Everett the Backpacking Bear! And the most exciting part is that his pattern is FREE here on Moonbeam Stitches!

With a sleeping mat in his pack and a smile on his face, Everett is ready to tackle the trail. My husband and I used to backpack when we lived in the Pacific Northwest so I knew someday I’d have to create a backpacking character.

Everett’s pattern has been tested by multiple crocheters, and the low-cost PDF is ad-free and print-friendly. Keep reading for the free pattern or visit my Etsy shop or Ravelry store to purchase the pattern. Buying patterns from designers helps acknowledge the work and many hours that go into creating and testing a pattern. It lets us know you care and want to see more!

It’s no secret how much I love these patterns. I borrowed Animal Friends of Pica Pau three times from the library before I finally bought it, and pre-ordered “Animal Friends of Pica Pau 2” when it was first announced. But then. The waiting!

Winter Projects | Velvet Yarn | Washing Velvet

Happy November: cooler temps and cozy winter crochet projects! One of my favorite yarns to work with in the winter is Bernat Velvet Yarn by Yarnspirations. My velvet knotted scrunchies are made with it and it’s great for other accessories, too.

Last week the morning temps dropped into the high 30s, which always kicks my winter crochet rear into gear. Amigurumi takes a back seat and I’m all about those cozy projects.
