Backpack Straps: you'll have make and position the straps in whatever way makes the backpack stay on the bear's back. For me, this is what worked:

Attach blue thread near the bottom left corner (probably in st 10 of round 2), ch 8, attach to round 7 (probably st 8) with a sl st and finish off. Repeat for right side

Tips:
- The backpack stays on better if the straps are attached closer to the center at the top.
- The straps will stretch, so it's ok for them to be a little tight.

Assembly:

When I sewed my bear together, I slid the hood onto the bear's head, made sure I liked the fit and position, then attached the hood to the body with a couple stitches. Then I attached the head to the body, sewing through the bottom of the hood. This made it so the hood could slide on and off the bear's head, but was firmly attached to the body.

Then I added the ears. I had to sew the ears on a little farther forward than I normally would so that the hood would fit properly.

Then I added the legs and arms.

Lion Microamigurumi Crochet Pattern

This is the pattern I used to make this lion. The only thing I'd maybe do different next time is not add the ears if I add a mane. It was a fun and slightly unusual pattern to follow! 

Smaller Stuffed Rabbit Crochet Pattern

I wanted to make a bunny like my Peter Rabbit but on a smaller scale. Here's the pattern I came up with.

Assemble the rabbit then add the tail by making a pompom and sewing it on. Embroider the face.

Dress - In blue. The dress is made starting at the front neckline, then going back and adding the back neckline and sleeves. After it's finished, turn it inside out - that way the ruffles at the bottom will stand out better. The only thing I would try to adjust next time is the back neckline. Somehow I ended up making the back more closed in than the front. It doesn't look bad, but I think it could be adjusted by a stitch or two.

1 - Ch 13
2 - Turn, in back of chain, beginning in 3rd loop (counts as 1st dc), dc, hdc, sc, sc inc, 2 sc, sc inc, sc, hdc, 2 dc - 14 st
3 - Ch 1, turn, sc across - 14 st
4 - Don't turn. Ch 16 and join with a sc to the other end of the dress (now you will be working in rounds. Make sure you can pull the dress over the ears and into place at this point.) - 30 st
5 - (4 sc, inc)*6 - 36 st

(By this point, the dress may seem way too big. Don't worry. When you add the back/sleeves the back neckline will become smaller.)
6 - (5 sc, inc)*6 - 42 st
7 - (6 sc, inc)*6, ch 2 - 48 st
8-10 - dc around - 48 st
11 - Sl st, tc around

Finish off.

Sleeves:

Go back up to the top of the dress and work in the back in what would be round 4.
1 - Skip 3 loops (this should be directly under the arm) then join and sc, sc, dec, sc, dec, sc, sc. There should still be 3 loops not used on the other side too.
2 - Ch 1, turn, sc, ch 5, connect to front by sc in the next 2 st, ch 1, turn, sc in both sc & down chain (7 sc), sc 5 (across back), ch 5, sc 2, ch 1, turn, sc in both sc & down chain (7 sc). Finish off.

You could be creative and make longer sleeves.

Microamigurumi Succulent Plant and Pot Crochet Pattern

I revised this pattern to make my potted succulent.

Supplies:

Size 12 crochet hook

Caramel color embroidery floss

Green embroidery floss

Very small amount of stuffing

Ring

Single crochet spike stitch (SPsc): Insert hook in indicated stitch, draw up a loop to the height of the stitches of the working round, yarn over, pull yarn through both loops on hook.


Pot: Caramel color
1 - 7 Sc in magic circle
2 - Inc around - 14
3 - BLO, (inc, sc)*7 - 21
(In the next round, we begin alternating single crochet and spike single crochet (Spsc) stitches. All spike stitches are worked into the round below.)
4 - In both loops, (Sc, Spsc)*10, Sc - 21
5 - (Spsc, sc)*10, Spsc - 21
6 - (Sc, Spsc)*10, sc - 21
7 - (Spsc, Sc)*10, Spsc - 21
8 - (Sc, Spsc)*10, Sc - 21
9 - (Spsc, Sc)*10, Spsc - 21
Finish off

Plant: In green,  about 11 leaves
Chain 5
In 2nd ch from hook, (sl st, ch 1, hdc, dc), in next st (dc, hdc, ch, sl st), (sl st, ch 1, hdc, dc), (dc, hdc, ch 1, sl st) - you now have 2 leaves.

The rest of the plant is a little tricky, but easier in practice than to explain. Fold/roll the leaves into the final position you will want them in, then, instead of working in normal rounds, the rest of the stitches will be worked into the base of the leaves. It's pretty much at your discretion where you want the base of the next leaf located. Also, you can adjust how many leaves you make.

[(Sl st, ch 1, hdc, dc), (dc, hdc, ch 1, sl st)]*4
[(Sl st, ch 1, dc, tc), (tc, dc, ch 1, sl st)]*5
Finish off

(It may be a bit hard to distinguish between the leaves, but when you sew the plant onto the pot, the leaves pull away from each other and there's more texture to them.)

Sew the ring onto the top of the plant

Stuff pot and sew on plant
