Get Fuzzy Wuzzy with These Bear Hat Knitting Patterns

Free Knitting Patterns, Hats and Headbands and Other Head Coverings, Whimsy

We’ve seen knitted dog, cat, and bunny hat patterns. Now I think it’s a good time to consider the kind of hat pattern that started this whole series: the bear hat pattern!

As with our other animal hat pattern collections, this collection will begin with bear hats with ears (and a few with faces). It will end with hats with bear images on it.

Ready? Let’s bring on the bear hat patterns!

Free Bear Hat Knitting Patterns: with Ears

Bear Cub Hat & Mitts: This adorable pattern comes in two sizes, newborn and 12 months, and it features not only a hat but also matching mittens. As a bonus, just by changing the colors, you can make any kind of bear you want — even a panda! To access the pattern, click “Download Printable Instructions” below the photo.

Bear Cub Toddler Hat: Want a hat pattern for a slightly older child? This pattern is the one for you.

Bear Head: This pattern cracks me up. It’s for an adult, and it’s designed to be furry and fuzzy like a real bear. Oh, and did I mention the “beard”? Take a look at the link and you’ll see what I mean…

Polar Bear Hat: This could of course be any color bear with a few simple yarn color changes. But the important aspects of this hat are the facial features. Appiques are knitted and then sewn to the hat, making this a very easy knit. To access the pattern, click “Download Printable Instructions” below the photo.

Knitted Polar Bear Hat: Again, this doesn’t have to be a polar bear hat, but it sure does look cute in white. I love the ear flaps and ties, as well as the “muzzle.”

Snow Bear Fair Isle Hat: Here’s a hat with ears and a bit more spice than most of the eared hats in this collection. Fair Isle basically guarantees spice, no? Another nice thing about this hat is its wide range of sizes. Knit it for a child or for the young at heart.

Baby Bear Hooded Cowl: The special thing about this pattern is right in the title: it’s more than a hat, it’s a cowl with a hood. But don’t let the title fool you: this “baby bear” offers sizes for both children and adults.

Big Bear Hat: Again, don’t let this title fool you: this is strictly a children’s hat, although it does come in multiple sizes. It features sweet little ties and offers the opportunity to use up any extra eyelash yarn you happen to have!

Free Bear Hat Knitting Patterns: Bear Images

Just two bear image patterns here, but happily there’s one child-sized and one adult-sized.

Toddler Teddy Bear Hat: Scroll way down this page and you’ll find an adorable hat pattern with precious teddy bear faces on it. As advertised, this pattern is designed to fit a toddler.

Polar Bear Motif Knitted Hat: The name says it all; this is a hat with several cute polar bears embedded. This hat is for adults!

So try knitting one of these sweet bear hat patterns, and you won’t have to hibernate this winter!

Are you missing your in-person knitting nights? If Are you missing your in-person knitting nights? If so, let me tell you about a virtual knitting event you won't want to miss! 

The great folks at Knit + Escape are holding a Galentine's Day virtual celebration from Feb. 4 to 6. A $10 ticket will give you access to vendor virtual booths and a whole lot of free content that includes fiber demos and lectures, farm tours, charity knitting, and much, MUCH more. 

And here's a bonus that I hope you'll love: your Marketplace Ticket includes access to the Friday Evening CHARITY KNIT NIGHT, an exciting event led by Kristy Glass, where I will be a special guest. We’ll have several opportunities for participants to ask questions and celebrate the spirit of giving!

I'm going to be talking about creating Bonding Hearts and how these wonderful little creations can help preemies and their families through an amazing organization called Mighty Miracles Foundation. 

I would LOVE to see you there, so I hope you'll join us! You'll find a registration link to this event in my profile.
(Please note: the following has nothing to do with (Please note: the following has nothing to do with charity knitting. But I can't be silent any longer. If I - and Knitting for Charity - am going to be for making the lives of others better, I have to speak up.) I've been wanting to say something for well over a week. But I felt like it wasn't my place to talk. This isn't my experience. I should be listening. 
But I want to make something clear. 
Systemic racism is not a theory. It's not a kooky idea. It's a fact of life. And whether white people feel like they've benefited from it or not (I'm sure most of us feel like we haven't)... we have. 
Sure, slavery is no more. Sure, Jim Crow laws are no more. But racism? It's still very much here. And it pushes down our brothers and sisters of color every. single. day. It makes them fear for their lives, no matter what they're doing. It makes their very existence a risk. 
And I've finally realized that it's not enough for me to believe these things in my heart and go on with my life as if there's nothing more I can do. It's not enough to be proudly "not a racist." By my silence, by my inaction, I'm perpetuating a system that feeds off black and brown human beings. 
So: this is my first step. 
I discovered Brownicity.com. And there, I discovered this book. It's a workbook, actually - kind of like a course in book form. Here's what the page says about it: "This journey guide was designed to lead the ‘beginner’ through an enlightening and introspective first steps of race/ism analysis and healing. It can be used to support a group or individual’s study." I've dived in and I'm already getting an education. And I can't wait to learn more. 
We're not going to change the world in a day. Or even a week. But each of us can start taking steps to unlearn racism. (Yes, even a proud "non-racist" like me has racism to unlearn.) This doesn't have to be your book or your path. But do *something* to start listening. In the barest glimpses of social media, you're bound to find lists of books, movies, documentaries, podcasts, and so on. I've already seen more of those than I can count. (Cont'd in comments)

I've been so inspired by all the people releasing I've been so inspired by all the people releasing free help during this time of crisis. Zoos and aquariums and nature livecams all over... Broadway offering free videos of their shows... musicians offering free living room concerts...and so on. 
So I decided to offer my own kind of help.

This is a service for folks who, for myriad reasons, don't feel merry or joyful as they think they ought to. Praying that these cloths will remind them of God's love and constant presence. #charityknittersofinstagram #prayerclothknittersofinstagram
