Bear Eyeglasses Holder

This adorable crochet tutorial shows how to make a bear-themed eyeglasses holder using basic amigurumi techniques. With simple half-double crochet shaping and fun details like ears, eyes, and a snout, it’s a beginner-friendly and practical project.

Base Foundation & Shaping
The project begins by measuring yarn to three times the length of the eyeglasses, then crocheting a foundation using half-double crochets (hdc) instead of chain stitches for flexibility. Both ends are rounded using three hdc in the same stitch, forming an oval base. Increases are added in subsequent rounds to accommodate the glasses comfortably.

Forming the Pocket
After creating a sturdy oval, several rounds of hdc are worked evenly to build up the height. A final round is worked without increases for a snug finish. The holder is then measured against the glasses to ensure a precise fit.

Adding Bear Features
The ears are made with a double magic ring, starting with 10 double crochets. The snout is crafted amigurumi-style with rounds of single crochets and strategic increases. A black embroidered nose is added to the snout for detailing.

Crocheting the Eyes
The eyes are made from 5-ply black cotton yarn using a 4 mm hook and a magic ring with 5 or 6 single crochets, depending on desired size. They are finished with a slip stitch and left with long tails for sewing or gluing.
Assembly & Placement
All facial features are sewn onto the front of the eyeglass holder, with careful placement for symmetry. The ears are stitched between specific rows, while the snout and eyes are added in centered positions for an expressive look.

Final Result
The project ends with tidy stitching and trimming. The result is a soft, functional, and irresistibly cute bear-shaped eyeglasses holder—perfect for gifting or personal use.
