Close the body: Using a tapestry needle, weave the yarn tail through the front loops of all 12 stitches and pull gently to close the opening. Secure the yarn and weave in the end.
To make the muzzle, cut one large white circle (about ½”) and one small black circle (about 3/16″) from felt sheets. You can use a hollow punch set or scissors. Glue the small black circle (nose) onto the white circle (muzzle). With a needle and black cotton thread, stitch a small mouth under the nose (see pictures), then glue the finished muzzle to the bear’s face.

Glue the white circle on top of the green one, then attach the finished logo to the front of your coffee cup. I tried adding a little design on the logo with an acrylic pen, but it didn’t work well — you can use white cotton thread instead if you’d like to add a small detail.
The Hat – Coffee Bear – Free Crochet Pattern
- The hat is worked in continuous rounds (as a spiral). Use a stitch marker if needed.
- We will use a bigger crochet hook to make the hat
With a 3.25 mm crochet hook and yarn in green.

- Round 7: 1 hdc in all st. (18)
When you finish the last round, cut the yarn and pull it through the last stitch to secure. Weave in the yarn tail with a tapestry needle and hide it inside the hat.
To make a small pompom, wrap the yarn around the prongs of a fork about 20 times. Knot the yarn on the side of the fork. Cut the yarn, then slide a piece of yarn between the middle prongs and tie it tightly around the wrapped yarn. Remove it from the fork, knot again to secure, and cut through all the loops. Trim the ends to shape your pompom (I made mine as small as possible), then glue or sew it on top of the hat.
Assembling – Coffee Bear – Free Crochet Pattern
Place the hat on the head and sew it securely in place. Then, attach the ears over the hat — make sure your stitches go through the head and not just the hat for a firm hold. There should be about 10 hdc from the last round of the hat between the ears. The ears are sewn over Rounds 5 and 6 of the hat.
Next, use pins to position the arms and legs before sewing. The arms should be close enough together to hold the coffee cup. Sew the top of each arm (shoulder) over Rounds 12–13, and sew the legs over Rounds 19–21.
Finally, using brown yarn, sew the coffee cup between the arms. Pass the needle back and forth through the inside of the coffee cup and the arms several times to secure it firmly in place.
Sew the tail at the back of the body, over Rounds 20-21.
