Cute Bear Glasses Holder

Pattern Instructions

• Make the Starting Chain (17 loops)
  1: Make a starting loop and place it on your hook.
  2: Pull the yarn through the loop 17 times, creating 17 chain loops.
  What you should see:
  - A neat row of little “V” shapes
  - It should be about 9–10 cm long
• Begin the Oval (First Side)
  1: Skip the very first loop closest to your hook.
  2: In the second loop, place two stitches
  (this helps the oval curve instead of staying straight).
  3: Place one stitch into each loop until you reach the last loop.
  4: In the last loop, place three stitches.
  What you should see now:
  - One end looks rounded
  - The other end is still straight
• Crochet Along the Other Side of the Chain
  1: Without turning your work, continue crocheting along the other side of the chain.
  2: Place one stitch into each loop as you go back.
  3: When you reach the first stitch you made, connect the round to close the oval.
  Now count gently:
  - You should have 34 stitches around the whole shape
  If you have one or two more or less — it’s okay. The shape matters more than the number.
• Make the Oval Bigger (Second Round)
  In this round, we slowly widen the oval.
  - Near the curved ends, you will place two stitches in the same spot
  - Along the long sides, you place one stitch per spot
  This balance keeps the shape smooth.
  What to watch for:
  - The oval should lie flat on the table
  - No curling, no ruffling
• Continue Expanding the Shape
  Over the next few rounds, you will repeat the same idea:
  - Add extra stitches only at the curves
  - Keep the sides straight
  - Go slowly and calmly
  
  By now, your piece should be about:
  - 14–16 cm long
  - Clearly oval
• Final Smoothing Rounds
  Now crochet three full rounds where:
  - You place one stitch into each stitch
  - No extra stitches are added
  This gives the holder strength so it doesn’t collapse under the glasses.
  At the end:
  1: Cut the yarn
  2: Pull it through the last loop
  3: Gently tighten to secure
• Making the Ears (2 Small Circles)
• Each ear is about 3–4 cm wide.
  How the Ear Is Made
  1. Make a small adjustable loop.
  2. Crochet five stitches into the center.
  3. Pull the yarn tail to close the circle.
  In the next round, place two stitches into each stitch.
  You’ll end with:
  - A small, puffy circle
  - Leave a long yarn tail for sewing
  Make two identical ears.
• Making the Nose
• The nose is a small circle, about 2.5 cm wide.
  1. Make a small circle the same way as before.
  2. Add one gentle round to smooth it.
  3. Cut yarn and secure.
  Using black yarn:
  - Stitch a small triangle
  - Add a short vertical line below it
  This gives the bear its expression.
• Assembly (Bring Bear to Life )
• 1. Sew two small black eyes onto the face
  Place them evenly, left and right, near the center.
  2. Sew the nose below the eyes, centered.
  3. Attach the ears along the top edge, spaced evenly.
  4. Weave in all loose yarn ends.
  Final step:
  - Slide your glasses gently into the center.
  They should rest snugly without falling.
