The Bear Cup Holder is a fun and practical accessory for all your adventures! Whether you’re off to a festival, going for a bike ride, or just want to keep your hands free while carrying your favorite drink, this adorable bear has got you covered.

I designed this quick and easy pattern using Scheepjes Little Darling, a wonderfully soft chenille yarn that gives it the perfect plush texture. You only need a small amount of yarn, making it a fantastic stash-busting project! Plus, you can adjust the strap length to fit your needs—wear it crossbody for a festival or shorten it for your daily coffee run. You can even make it big enough for a water bottle!

This cute and functional cup holder is the perfect gift idea or weekend project, and I can’t wait to see how you personalize yours!
