Free Patterns

First let's begin with making a bear.  I used the Drummer Bear pattern from the Festive Knits book but the Teddy Bear pattern from Etsy will also work.

Yarn: 

For the body/head I used I love this yarn from Hobby Lobby -  Mid Green 

For the ears, nose, and limbs I used I love this yarn from Hobby Lobby - Jelly Bean

For the hat I used a darker green and a golden yellow, both were leftovers from another project and did not have the label anymore, so I don't know what the brand or color was.

I also added a little orange hair at the front.

Now for the Gold!

Once you have made the bear, you are ready to make the pot o' gold.

Yarn:

I used black for the pot and the same yellow as I used for the pompom on the hat for the gold.

Pot:

On your 48 or 46 pin machine

Cast on with black

Work 50 rounds

Cast off

Double up and cinch.  Secure and hide all loose ends inside.

Gold:

On your 48 or 46 pin machine

Cast on with golden yellow

Work 30 rounds

Cast off

Double up and cinch to make a circle with the cinched parts in the center. Secure and hide loose ends inside.

Sew this piece inside the pot, joining the edges of the circle to the inside edge of the pot, add some stuffing before completely sewing in place.

Gold coins - make 3:

On your 22 pin machine

Cast on with golden yellow

Work 15 rounds

Cast off

Double up and cinch to make a circle with the cinched parts in the center. Secure and hide loose ends inside.

Sew the coins to the top of the golden piece inside the pot.

To finish you can decorate the pot with a shamrock. I have a video on how to make this on my tiktok page, you can view the video below;
