There’s just something so fun about turning a sweet treat into a cuddly little plush! This gummy bear is made using chenille yarn, which gives it a soft, squishy texture that you’ll want to squeeze the moment it’s finished.
One of my favorite things about this pattern is how quick and beginner-friendly it is. The simple stitches and minimal shaping make it perfect for newer crocheters, and you can easily make one in about 30 minutes.

Stuff the gummy bear and close the hole.
How to Close the Hole
Fasten off the yarn, leaving a long tail for closing the hole. Thread your yarn tail onto a tapestry needle and run it through each of the sts around the opening.
Once you make your way back to where you started, pull the yarn to close the hole. Fasten off and weave in your ends.
