I had been looking for a pattern of a bear for a while now and I couldn’t quite find one that I was very happy with, so I decided to make my own! This is the very first pattern I’ve ever designed and I was inspired by several other patterns that I’ve tried recently.

This pattern is worked in rows rather than in the round, so each row is finished by a sl st through the first stitch and ch 1 to begin the next row. When starting the next row, the first st is worked into the same st you just made a sl st through. This is a technique that I really enjoyed from a pattern designed by Crafty Intentions for a pony. It made a lot more sense to me than working in the round and helped me in designing this pattern.

Materials:
111yds/101m of Red Heart Super Saver in white
US G/4.00 mm hook

Enjoy!
