(Continue with the standard increase pattern, adding 6 stitches each round until you reach 60 stitches). ​Round 11 - 25: sc in each st around for about 15 rounds to create a cylinder shape (60) ​Decrease 6 stitches evenly every round (the exact reverse of the increases) to close it. Stuff very firmly with fiberfill before closing completely. ​Candy Wrapper Ties: Take a darker purple yarn and wrap it tightly around the left and right ends of the pillow to pinch them. Attach light purple yarn to the pinched ends and make chain loops to form the flared, ruffled candy-wrapper ends.

​8. Bows (One Large, One Small - Purple Yarn) ​Rectangular Piece: Chain a length depending on your desired bow size (e.g., Ch 20 for the large bow, Ch 12 for the small one). Work back and forth in rows of single crochet or half double crochet to create a flat rectangle. ​Join the short ends to make a loop, then wrap yarn tightly around the exact middle to cinch it into a bow shape. Embroider white dots on the smaller bow. ​???? Assembly and Facial Detailing ​Head and Body: Center the head perfectly on top of the body and sew them together securely. Add extra fiberfill to the neck area just before finishing the seam to keep the head from wobbling. ​Facial Features: Sew the cream muzzle to the lower-center part of the face. Using black embroidery thread, stitch the happy, closed eyes and eyebrows. Apply a bit of real pink blush to the cheeks. ​Ears and Bows: Position the ears symmetrically on the top corners of the head and sew them down. Secure the large purple bow in front of the left ear, and the smaller polka-dot bow just beneath the right ear. ​Legs and Arms: Sew the legs onto the lower sides of the body, angled slightly forward so the bear can sit up balanced. Attach the arms to the upper body, pointing slightly forward to wrap around the pillow. ​Pillow: Finally, place the candy pillow into the bear's lap and secure it with a few hidden stitches running from the inside of the arms into the pillow. ​Your cute hugging teddy bear is complete!
