Princess Bernadette Bear – Free Crochet Pattern!

Sharing is caring!

My grandmother, Bernice, was an avid collector of unique teddy bears. When she passed away in 1997 I became the proud beneficiary of the collection that brought her so much joy. Every Christmas I display them on my rustic piano with candles and holiday decor. The little bears seem to come to life and bring my family the very same happiness.

The idea for Princess Bernadette Bear was born from my love of my grandmother and her teddies.  Bernadette is sweet, statuesque and simple! I created her with the beginner in mind. The only prerequisite skills are being able to make a magic ring, single crochet, and double crochet.

I also made three videos to help with sections that beginners might find tricky –
