Step 1: Crocheting the Arms

1. Magic Circle: Start with a magic circle.
2. Chain and Single Crochets: Chain one and make eight single crochets into the magic circle.
3. Ignore Chain One: Ensure the first single crochet is made into the magic circle, not the chain one.
4. Crochet Rounds: Single crochet around for four rows.
5. Fasten Off: Slip stitch and fasten off; leave a short tail. Stuff the arms and set them aside.

Step 2: Starting the Feet and Body

1. Magic Circle for Feet: Make a magic circle and 11 single crochets.
2. Crochet Rounds for Feet: Single crochet into the top of the first single crochet and single crochet for two rows.
3. Join Two Feet: For the first foot, cut the yarn after completing, and for the second foot, continue to chain one and join with the first foot using the chain space.
4. Be Careful with Legs: Ensure you don't go around the same foot twice to avoid uneven legs.

Step 3: Crocheting the Body

1. Row 5: Single crochet in chain spaces and around each foot.
2. Row 6: Increase after every five single crochets.
3. Single Crochet Rounds: Continue single crochet rounds up to row 9.
4. Decreasing for Neck: Decrease after every five single crochets, then four, then three, leading up to the neck area.

Step 4: Attaching Stuffed Arms

1. Preparation: Ensure body is stuffed well before attaching arms.
2. Position Arms: Attach arms on both sides of the body by single crocheting through the arm and the stitch on the neck.
3. Align Arms: Ensure arms are aligned with the body and not skewed.'

Step 5: Crocheting the Head

1. Increases for Head: Increase with single and double crochets to create the head shape.
2. Single Crochet Rounds: Crochet around for four more rows.

Step 6: Adding Facial Features

1. Making a Nose: Create a nose with a magic circle and half double crochets.
2. Eyes Placement: Position safety eyes beside the nose to ensure symmetry.
3. Adjust for Expression: Adjust eye and nose positions to create the desired expression.

Step 7: Finishing the Head

1. Decreasing for Top of Head: Continue decreasing to close the head, ensuring consistent stuffing.
2. Sealing: Fasten off with a long tail to sew close any remaining gaps.

Step 8: Attaching Ears

1. Making Ears: Create ears with double crochets in a magic circle.
2. Sewing Ears: Sew the ears on each side of the head, equidistant from the eyes.
3. Alternative Crochet Ears: Alternatively, crochet ears directly onto the head by slip stitching and double crocheting.

Step 9: Adding the Wavy Necklace

1. Chain and Double Crochet: Chain 25 (adjust based on bear's neck size) and double crochet three times in each chain.
2. Attaching Necklace: Curly queue the strip and sew around the bear’s neck.
