Zen Knitting

First you will need to learn to crochet. There are several videos that show you step by step how to do the different stitches. Once you learn the stitches, you should be able to find a simple pattern for a bear. Good Luck.

Here is a free pattern for a crochet bear: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/cchs-teddy.html

The pattern shows abbreviations for each crochet term at the bottom of the pattern.

Here is a link to several videos for the basic crochet stitches: http://www.hassdesign.com/StitchLegend/

Here is another link that has some videos and photos on how to do cetain stitches: http://crochet.about.com/od/learnbasics/a/beginners.htm

Also you can go to youtube and type in each different stitch in the search section and there are several video tutorials for each term. If you have any questions you can email me and I’d be happy to help!

Hope I helped some!
