Anthurium Blushflare Bear – Crochet

This charming amigurumi set features a dressed bear and a tiny cat companion styled with anthurium-inspired accents, a brimmed hat, floral skirt, sandals, and heart bags. It is ideal for readers searching for a handmade crochet bear doll, collectible amigurumi animal, nursery gift, or boutique-style stuffed toy.

The design blends soft neutral tones with blush pink and deep rose details, giving the finished pair a polished artisan look. It suits makers and shoppers who love heirloom amigurumi, crochet teddy decor, handmade plush gift ideas, and premium animal dolls with coordinated accessories and floral embellishment.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Overview

This design includes two figures:

• A standing bear wearing a wide-brim hat, fitted top, floral fringe skirt, sandals, heart shoulder bag, and holding an anthurium bouquet.
• A tiny cat companion wearing a small hat, pink top, fringe skirt, and matching heart shoulder bag.

The overall shape in the image is slim and upright rather than chubby. The head is round, the muzzle is protruding but neat, and the limbs are softly stuffed with a smooth taper. The clothing is fitted close to the body so the floral waistband and fringe remain the focus.

To match the photo, use a tight gauge and firm stuffing. The stitches should look compact and even. The bear should stand about 24–27 cm tall including the hat, while the cat companion should stand about 10–12 cm tall including the hat.

Materials

• Main yarn A: light taupe for bear head, body, arms, and legs.
• Main yarn B: cream for muzzle, hat, dress top, skirt base, sandals, and bear bag tie details.
• Accent yarn C: dusty pink for hat flower backing, cat top, cat hat trim, and pale edging.
• Accent yarn D: deep rose or berry red for large heart petals, central floral motifs, and both heart bags.
• Accent yarn E: pale blush for small flowers and inner ear detail.
• Accent yarn F: green for stems and leaf details.
• Accent yarn G: warm yellow or pale gold for spadix flower centers.
• Accent yarn H: dark brown for nose and mouth embroidery.
• Accent yarn I: white for cat paws and feet.
• 2.0–2.5 mm crochet hook for the bear and accessories.

Color Placement Notes

The bear uses mostly light taupe with cream clothing layered on top. The muzzle is cream, the nose is dark brown, and the hat is cream with a deep pink anthurium-style trim detail on one side. The bag is deep rose with a long thin strap.

The skirt is one of the defining features. It has a cream base, a wide floral embroidered or crocheted belt zone, and a long cream fringe falling below the waistband. The fringe should be dense enough to drape but not so thick that it hides the legs completely.

The bouquet features three large anthurium flowers in pink and rose shades with pale yellow spadices. The handkerchief hanging under the bouquet is cream with red edging and a tiny heart-like stitched corner accent.

Gauge and Size Notes

Gauge is not critical, but consistency is very important. Tight stitches will help the head keep a clean round shape and the narrow limbs stay elegant. If your stitches are loose, size down the hook by 0.25 mm.

The bear’s head is slightly larger than the width of the torso. The body is shaped like a soft cylinder with a gentle waist. The legs are medium length and narrow. The arms are longer than the body side seam and hang to the skirt fringe level.

Bear Head

1. With light taupe, make 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x6. (30)
6. Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x6. (36)
7. Rnd 7: (5 sc, inc) x6. (42)
8. Rnd 8: (6 sc, inc) x6. (48)
9. Rnd 9: (7 sc, inc) x6. (54)
10. Rnds 10–19: sc around. (54)

The head in the photo is round but not oversized. Do not make it too tall. The top is smooth, and the face area remains gently forward because the muzzle is added separately. Keep stuffing even, especially at the cheeks and forehead.

1. Rnd 20: (7 sc, dec) x6. (48)
2. Rnd 21: sc around. (48)
3. Rnd 22: (6 sc, dec) x6. (42)
4. Rnd 23: (5 sc, dec) x6. (36)
5. Insert eyes between rnds 12 and 13 with about 10 visible stitches between them.
6. Rnd 24: (4 sc, dec) x6. (30)
7. Begin stuffing firmly.
8. Rnd 25: (3 sc, dec) x6. (24)
9. Rnd 26: (2 sc, dec) x6. (18)
10. Rnd 27: (sc, dec) x6. (12)
11. Rnd 28: dec x6. (6)

Fasten off and close. Shape the head by pressing slightly at the lower face so the muzzle attachment sits naturally. The head should look calm and symmetrical from the front and slightly rounded from the side.

Bear Muzzle

1. With cream, ch 7.
2. Row 1: starting in 2nd ch from hook, sc 5, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side sc 4, inc in last st. (14)
3. Row 2: inc, sc 4, inc x3, sc 4, inc x2. (20)
4. Row 3: sc around. (20)
5. Row 4: sc 2, hdc 4, sc 8, hdc 4, sc 2. (20)

Fasten off with a long tail. Lightly stuff only the center. Sew the muzzle below the eyes so its top edge sits around rnd 14 and its bottom edge around rnd 20. It should protrude gently but remain compact.

Embroider a dark brown triangular nose centered near the upper middle of the muzzle. Bring the embroidery downward in a straight short line, then add a tiny split for the mouth. Keep the expression simple, soft, and slightly serious like the image.

Bear Ears

1. Make 2 with light taupe.
2. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
3. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
4. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
5. Rnd 4: sc around. (18)
6. Flatten and crochet through both layers: 8 sc across.

Do not stuff. Sew the ears low enough that the hat can sit over them, with the ear tops only lightly visible beneath the brim. In the photo, the hat hides much of the upper head, so the ears should not stick too far outward.

Bear Body

1. With cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x6. (30)
6. Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x6. (36)
7. Rnds 7–10: sc around. (36)
8. Change to light taupe only if you want the inner body hidden under clothing. For the visible upper body in the photo, keep cream for the chest area.
9. Rnd 11: (10 sc, dec) x3. (33)
10. Rnds 12–15: sc around. (33)
11. Rnd 16: (9 sc, dec) x3. (30)
12. Rnds 17–19: sc around. (30)
13. Rnd 20: (3 sc, inc) x6, then 6 sc. (36)
14. Rnds 21–23: sc around. (36)

📌Thank you for reading the article

The body should be neat and slightly tapered, with no pronounced belly. The fitted top in the photo sits smoothly over the torso, so keep stuffing moderate. A body that is too round will distort the skirt and floral panel.

1. Rnd 24: (4 sc, dec) x6. (30)
2. Rnd 25: sc around. (30)
3. Rnd 26: (3 sc, dec) x6. (24)

Stuff the lower body firmly and the upper body slightly less firmly. Leave a long tail for sewing to the head. The neck area should be strong enough to support the hat without wobbling.

Bear Arms

1. Make 2 with light taupe.
2. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
3. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
4. Rnds 3–5: sc around. (12)
5. Rnd 6: (2 sc, dec) x3. (9)
6. Rnds 7–18: sc around. (9)
7. Rnd 19: (sc, inc) x4, sc. (13)
8. Rnd 20: sc around. (13)
9. Rnd 21: flatten opening and sc 6 across.

Lightly stuff the hand area and only softly stuff the upper arm. The arms in the image hang naturally and are narrow. Sew them slightly below the neck seam, angled downward so the left arm can hold the bouquet and the right arm rests beside the body.

Bear Legs

1. Make 2 starting with gray sole color if you want the sandal base built in, or start in taupe for a separate shoe method.
2. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
3. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
4. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
5. Rnd 4: BLO sc around. (18)
6. Rnds 5–6: sc around. (18)
7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, dec x4, 5 sc. (14)
8. Change to light taupe if feet were started in sole color.
9. Rnds 8–18: sc around. (14)
10. Rnd 19: flatten opening and sc 7 across.

Stuff the feet more firmly than the leg shafts so the doll can stand better. The legs are slim and straight in the photo, with only slight knee softness. Sew them to the base of the body with a narrow gap between them.

Bear Head and Body Assembly

Sew the head to the body with the face centered. Before closing the seam, add extra stuffing to the neck if needed. The bear in the image stands tall with the chin slightly forward, so avoid a dropped head position.

Attach the arms after checking the bouquet position. Attach the legs so the feet face straight ahead. The finished silhouette should be elegant, with the skirt fringe falling just over the top third of the legs.

Bear Dress Top

The upper dress is simple and fitted. It appears sleeveless or very cap-sleeved under the bouquet and bag strap. A clean cream surface helps the floral belt and heart accents stand out.

1. With cream, ch enough to fit snugly around the upper torso, usually 28–32 chains depending on gauge.
2. Join without twisting.
3. Work 6–8 rounds of sc or hdc evenly for the top section.
4. For a cleaner fit, decrease 2 stitches evenly on the final round if needed.
5. Fasten off and sew or slip stitch onto the body invisibly.

Keep the top plain. Do not add bulky edging. In the photo, the focal detail is the large heart applique on the chest rather than texture on the blouse itself.

Bear Chest Anthurium Applique

1. With deep rose, ch 2.
2. Work a heart using a classic two-lobe method or make two small circles joined into a pointed base.
3. A practical version: make 2 separate lobes of 6 sc in MR, join them, then sc around the combined shape to form a point.
4. Make the finished heart about 4 cm tall.
5. With pale yellow, crochet a short spadix: ch 5, sc back 4, fasten off.

Sew the pale yellow spadix vertically onto the heart center. Then stitch the complete applique to the chest slightly off-center, matching the image where the large floral ornament sits toward the right side of the bear’s bodice from the viewer’s perspective.

Bear Skirt Base

1. With cream, join yarn around the waist at the lower body.
2. Rnd 1: sc evenly around.
3. Rnd 2: (2 sc, inc) around to create a soft flare.
4. Rnd 3: sc around.
5. Rnd 4: work in BLO sc around to prepare a neat lower edge and help the skirt hang.
6. Rnd 5: sc around.

The skirt should be short and sit above the knees. It is not a full circular skirt. It looks more like a gently flared panel with a decorative floral band and long fringe added underneath.

Bear Fringe

Cut many strands of cream yarn in equal lengths, around 6–7 cm each. Fold each strand and attach along the lower edge of the skirt with a lark’s head knot. Place them close together for a dense, even curtain of fringe.

Trim the fringe once all strands are attached. The fringe in the image hangs straight and forms one clean line. It should reach to about the upper shin area, leaving the sandals fully visible.

Bear Floral Waistband

This section gives the outfit its signature look. You can crochet tiny flowers separately and sew them around the waistband, connecting them with green stitched stems and leaves. The image shows red, pink, and cream-centered blossoms arranged like a floral garland.

Large Flower Motifs

1. With deep rose or dusty red, make 5 ch and join.
2. Into the ring, repeat 5 times: sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.
3. Fasten off.
4. Make 3–5 flowers in mixed rose tones.

Small Flower Motifs

1. With pale blush, make 6 sc in MR.
2. For petals, repeat 6 times: sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st in same stitch.
3. Add a tiny yellow French knot or small crochet dot at center if desired.

Sew the flowers across the waistband area. Add green yarn stems and tiny leaves between them. Keep the arrangement horizontal. The floral line should wrap around the front and slightly toward the sides, but it does not need to cover the whole back.

Bear Sandals

The sandals are open-toe with a layered sole and a front strap featuring a little heart accent. They look structured yet soft, with cream, pale pink, and gray tones.

Sole

1. With pale pink, ch 8.
2. Rnd 1: sc 6, 3 sc in last ch, opposite side sc 5, inc in last st. (16)
3. Rnd 2: inc, sc 5, inc x3, sc 5, inc x2. (22)
4. Rnd 3: sc around in BLO. (22)

Foot Bed

1. With gray, join in BLO loops from rnd 3 and sc around. (22)
2. Rnd 2: sc around.
3. Shape toe slightly with 3 decreases centered at front if needed.

Front Strap

1. With cream, ch 10.
2. Work back in sc for 9 stitches.
3. Sew each end to the sides of the sandal over the front foot area.

Ankle Strap

1. With cream, ch 12–14 depending on ankle size.
2. Work 1 row sc.
3. Sew one end to one side of the sandal and wrap around the ankle.
4. Add a tiny loop or stitched button effect at the outer side.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Heart Accent

1. Make 2 tiny hearts in deep rose, about 1.5 cm wide.
2. Sew one onto each front strap center.

Attach the sandals to the feet with a few hidden stitches so they stay aligned. The bear in the image stands wearing the sandals permanently rather than loose removable shoes.

Bear Heart Shoulder Bag

1. Make 2 heart-shaped panels in deep rose, about 4.5–5 cm tall.
2. Use a classic small amigurumi heart method or create two joined lobes and work around them.
3. Sew the panels together, leaving the top open only if you want a real pouch, or close completely for a decorative bag.
4. Stuff very lightly to keep the rounded heart shape.
5. For the strap, crochet a long chain or Romanian cord in matching rose.

The strap should cross diagonally from one shoulder to the opposite hip, with the bag resting low on the skirt front. Add a tiny tassel or small knot at the bag bottom to echo the image.

Bear Wide-Brim Hat

The hat is one of the largest accessories and must have a soft downward-curving brim. It is cream with a thin dusty pink band and a large anthurium decoration placed on one side.

Crown

1. With cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x6. (30)
6. Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x6. (36)
7. Rnd 7: (5 sc, inc) x6. (42)
8. Rnds 8–12: sc around. (42)

Brim

1. Rnd 13: BLO (6 sc, inc) x6. (48)
2. Rnd 14: sc around. (48)
3. Rnd 15: (7 sc, inc) x6. (54)
4. Rnd 16: sc around. (54)
5. Rnd 17: (8 sc, inc) x6. (60)
6. Rnd 18: sc around. (60)
7. Rnd 19: (9 sc, inc) x6. (66)
8. Rnd 20: sc around loosely. (66)

Steam block lightly or shape by hand to create a gentle downward flare. The brim in the image is broad and elegant, especially at the front. Add a thin dusty pink band around the base of the crown using surface slip stitch or a separate narrow chain sewn in place.

Hat Anthurium Decoration

1. With dusty pink or rose, ch 8.
2. Work an oval-heart hybrid petal: sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc, then on opposite side repeat symmetrically and form a point at the base.
3. Make 2 petals of slightly different size and layer them.
4. With pale yellow, make one thicker spadix: ch 7, work sl st or sc back.

Sew the layered flower to the hat brim side with the spadix angled outward. The image shows the flower lying flat across the brim edge rather than standing upright, so keep the attachment low and smooth.

Bear Bouquet

The bouquet consists of three anthurium blooms, green stems, and a cream handkerchief wrap. It is an essential detail, so take time to shape it carefully.

Large Anthurium Flowers

1. Make 3 flowers in mixed rose and pink shades.
2. For each, ch 9.
3. Work around the chain to create a rounded upper section and pointed base, using sc, hdc, dc, and tr in the center area for height.
4. The finished bloom should look like a heart-shaped leaf with a slight side tilt.

Flower Spadices

1. With pale yellow, ch 6–7 for each flower.
2. Work back with sl st or sc for a firm narrow tube.
3. Sew vertically to the center of each flower, slightly raised.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stems

1. With green, crochet long thin chains or cords.
2. Wrap around thin wire if a firmer bouquet is desired.
3. Attach one stem behind each flower.

Wrap

1. With cream, make a small square or triangle cloth about 4 x 4 cm.
2. Add a red edging row.
3. Embroider or crochet a tiny corner heart or floral accent.

Bundle the three flowers, wrap the cloth around the stem base, and tie with cream yarn. Sew or tack the bouquet into the bear’s left hand so it tilts outward like the photo.

Cat Companion Head

1. With light cream or pale beige, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. Rnds 5–9: sc around. (24)
6. Rnd 10: (2 sc, dec) x6. (18)
7. Insert eyes between rnds 6 and 7 with 6 stitches between.
8. Rnd 11: (sc, dec) x6. (12)
9. Stuff firmly.
10. Rnd 12: dec x6. (6)

The cat face is tiny, rounded, and sweet. Add a very small cream muzzle if desired, or embroider directly onto the head. The nose is dark brown and the expression is minimal, matching the bear’s simple styling.

Cat Ears

1. Make 2 outer ears with cream: 4 sc in MR, rnd 2 inc around to 8, rnd 3 sc around.
2. Make 2 smaller inner ears with pale blush using the same shape or a tiny triangle.
3. Sew inner ears onto outer ears, then attach high on the head.

The ears are large compared with the cat head and angle outward slightly. This is important for matching the photo. They should be visible beneath the small hat brim.

Cat Body, Arms, Legs, and Tail

1. Body: with cream, make a narrow cylinder from 18 stitches around, working 8–10 rounds.
2. Shape the neck with 2 decreases evenly on the final body round.
3. Legs: make 2 slim tubes in cream, add white feet if desired, and sew under the body.
4. Arms: make 2 very small tubes with white paws and attach at the sides.
5. Tail: crochet a thin cream tube or stuffed cord and sew at the lower back.

The cat is tiny and lightly stuffed. Keep all proportions delicate. It should stand close to the bear’s shin and look like a coordinated miniature companion, not a separate oversized toy.

Cat Outfit

Cat Top

1. With dusty pink, chain a small ring that fits snugly around the upper body.
2. Work 4–5 rounds of sc or hdc.
3. Fasten off neatly.

Cat Skirt

1. With cream, join at the waist.
2. Work 2–3 rounds with light increases for a short flare.
3. Add cream fringe all around the lower edge.

Cat Heart Bag

1. Make a tiny deep rose heart from 2 joined lobes.
2. Add a long thin strap and position it diagonally across the body.

Cat Hat

1. Make a small cream crown and shallow brim, similar to the bear hat but in miniature.
2. Add a dusty pink trim band or small side accent.

The cat outfit mirrors the bear’s outfit without the floral waistband and bouquet. Keep the look simplified but clearly coordinated in color and shape.

Positioning the Accessories

Before sewing everything permanently, dress the bear and cat completely and view them from the front. Adjust the hat tilt, chest applique position, shoulder bag length, and bouquet angle. The image has a balanced styled look, so placement matters just as much as the individual pieces.

The bear’s bag strap crosses over the chest applique without hiding it fully. The bouquet sits in the left hand. The hat flower is on the viewer’s right side. The cat’s bag hangs low, and its hat sits slightly tilted.

Refining Proportions

• If the bear head looks too large, shorten the body neck and stuff the lower body more firmly.
• If the skirt looks too wide, reduce increases in the skirt base.
• If the hat brim droops too much, use a slightly smaller hook for the last two brim rounds.
• If the bouquet looks bulky, reduce each flower by one round.

The most important visual elements are the elegant cream hat, the rose anthurium motifs, the floral skirt band, and the matching small cat. Keep the base colors calm so the floral accessories remain the focal point.

Detailed Construction Order

1. Crochet the bear head, muzzle, ears, body, arms, and legs.
2. Assemble the bear base.
3. Crochet the dress top and skirt base.
4. Add floral waistband and fringe.
5. Make and attach sandals.
6. Make the bear heart bag and strap.
7. Crochet the hat and hat flower.
8. Make bouquet and secure in hand.
9. Crochet the cat head, ears, body, limbs, and tail.
10. Dress the cat with top, skirt, bag, and hat.
11. Do final face shaping and overall styling.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew all seams neatly and bury yarn tails well. Shape the bear muzzle with your fingers after attachment. Check that both eyes are level and that the nose sits centered. Give the cat the same calm expression so both figures look like a coordinated set.

Once fully assembled, lightly brush or straighten the skirt fringe. Position the hat at a soft angle and arrange the bouquet so the flowers face forward. Tiny adjustments in tilt and spacing make a big difference in the final result.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from direct moisture.
• Do not machine wash because of the fringe, flower stems, and shaped hat brim.
• Handle the bouquet and hat flower gently when moving the doll.
• Store flat or upright so the brim does not crease sharply.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Bear eyes aligned and muzzle centered.
• Hat brim evenly shaped.
• Chest applique attached securely.
• Waist flowers balanced across the skirt.
• Fringe trimmed to an even length.
• Sandals centered on both feet.
• Heart bags hanging at the correct height.
• Cat outfit matching the bear in color and style.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust the figures gently with a soft dry brush. For small marks, dab only the affected area with a barely damp cloth and let it air dry completely. Avoid soaking the yarn or bending the hat brim and bouquet repeatedly.

If storing long term, wrap the figures loosely in clean tissue and place them in a dry box. Keep dark accessories away from light sections to prevent color transfer. Re-trim or finger-comb the fringe after storage if needed.
