Spring is coming and that means the end of hibernation! What’s a bear to do if he wants a little post nap snack? Take inspiration from Pooh Bear and dress up as a bumble bee, of course! I have doodled this little bear so many different times that I simply had to knit him. I have to admit, he turned out even cuter than I imagined!
