No sharp edges here… and should this brown bear fall off the tree he will not break.

Finished brown bear will have a loop to hang him onto the tree - no hooks needed! :)

This brown bear ornament came to fruition because a friend of mine wanted her little guy (who is just over a year old) to be able to play with the Christmas ornaments and not worry about choking hazards. This ornament was made as well as others ( Snowman, Polar Bear, Rudolph - see them all here: http://lostsentiments.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-christmas-... more patterns to come! ) to give some life to their tree and some peace of mind to the parents. Whether you buy the polar bear pattern for yourself or a friend know the end result will be cherished for years to come and will withstand any beatings it may endure (packing and unpacking holiday decor, falling off the tree, ending up in fidos mouth, etc. ;))

Pattern works for all skill levels. Requires knowledge of magic loop, working in the round, increasing and decreasing.

Your finished product will be approximately 3 1/4 inches tall, 3 1/4 inches wide.
