Crochet a soft pastel bear family with these teddy bear amigurumi patterns. Create your own adorable crochet teddy bear collection with this Rainbow Belly Bears Amigurumi Crochet Book. This digital PDF pattern includes 4 cute teddy bear designs with different belly details: rainbow, maracas, sun and cloud.
The pattern book is designed for crochet lovers who enjoy soft plush amigurumi, pastel colors and handmade gift ideas. Inside, you will find the base doll pattern, detailed instructions for each bear design, material guidance, abbreviations, assembly details and a bonus gift pattern. The PDF also includes helpful step-by-step photos to guide you through the process.
Each bear tells its story with its belly. The Rainbow Bear carries a cheerful arc of color, the Maracas Bear is ready to make some music, the Sun Bear radiates warmth and the Cloud Bear brings a dreamy, sleepy calm. Together they form a little weather-and-music family that feels made for a nursery.
The secret behind the set is the base doll pattern. You learn the teddy body once, and then the individual designs focus on what makes each bear special. That keeps the projects relaxed and lets you put your creativity into the belly motifs and finishing touches.
Soft chenille yarn turns every bear into a velvety, squeezable plush, while the pastel palette gives the collection its gentle, dreamy look. The bonus gift pattern is a sweet extra that pairs nicely with a bear when you are wrapping a present.
You begin with the base doll pattern, which gives every bear its shape. The instructions and step-by-step photos show you how each part should look as you go, so you can compare your work at every stage.
Next, you follow the detailed instructions for the bear design you have chosen. This is where the rainbow, the maracas, the sun or the cloud comes to life on the belly. The assembly details then guide you through putting the bear together so it sits neatly and looks balanced.
Learn the teddy once, then let each belly tell a different story.
Finally, you add the finishing touches, such as the safety eyes and, if you like, the optional heart and star beads for a little sparkle. With the base pattern in your hands, the next bear always comes together more easily than the first.
The bears are designed for 5 mm chenille yarn worked with a 5–6 mm crochet hook. Chenille gives the plush, velvety surface you see in the photos, and its thick pile hides small irregularities in your stitches. The flip side is that stitches are harder to see, which is why stitch markers are on the materials list: move one up at the start of every round and count by touch.
The 1.5 mm cotton thread is the fine partner to the chunky chenille. A smooth, thin cotton is ideal for crisp details, so the contrast between fluffy body and neat details is part of the charm.
Work chenille gently. It does not enjoy being unravelled again and again, so if you need to undo stitches, pull slowly. If you swap to a different yarn, the finished bear will change in size and texture.
Teddy bear amigurumi patterns like these usually draw on a small, friendly set of skills:
Stuff each bear firmly with polyfill, adding small tufts at a time so the body stays smooth and round. For a baby or toddler, leave off the optional beads and embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes, so nothing can come loose.
Chenille bears can be hand washed gently in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Squeeze the water out in a towel, reshape the bear and let it dry flat away from direct heat.
A Cloud Bear is a gentle welcome for a newborn, while the Sun Bear makes a cheerful get-well or summer birthday present. The Maracas Bear suits a music-loving toddler, and the Rainbow Bear is a hopeful gift for a rainbow baby or a family welcoming a new arrival. Pair any bear with the bonus gift pattern for a ready-made present set.
Play with the pastel palette: swap the body colors, give a bear contrasting ears, or invent your own belly motif such as a moon or a heart using the base doll pattern as your canvas. You could even crochet a whole set in a child’s favorite colors.

The bears are made with 5 mm chenille yarn and a 5–6 mm crochet hook, plus 1.5 mm cotton thread.
It is the shared teddy pattern that all four designs build on. You learn the body once, then follow the detailed instructions for each bear’s belly design.
No, they are optional. Leave them off for babies and toddlers.
Yes, baby shower gifts and nursery decor are exactly what they are made for. Embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes for a newborn.
Of course. The pastel shades in the photos are a suggestion; any chenille colors work.
