The brown bear is another favorite of mine and one of the first I made. This beady-eyed bear is a most chocolaty shade of brown, but your bear can be whatever color you’d like, from light blond to golden or plain brown, just as in nature. Have fun and experiment.

You’ll also need:

• One 20mm textured black plastic animal safety nose
• Two 15mm yellow plastic animal safety eyes (you may use brown, if you prefer)
• Split-ring stitch marker
• Yarn needle
