Little Bear Peep is a 3.75” crocheted bear, dressed in an adorable little old-fashioned ensemble including tiny red shoes (not removable), white ruffled bloomers, long-sleeved dress that button in back with tiny pearl buttons, a sweet ruffled pink apron, and a cute little mob cap. Her cohort Lambie Pie is 2.5” tall, and about the same in length. Of course, you may vary the size of these cuties by using your choice of thread or yarn with the appropriate size hook, eyes, and joints.

Both animals as shown are crocheted from size 20 crochet thread with a size 10 hook. The pattern contains 28 pages of instructions and color photos, including a pictorial guide for jointing the arms and legs. The bear’s head is jointed with a cotter pin and disk joint, and the lamb’s head is thread-jointed. Both have black glass eyes and embroidered features.

This set would make an awesome gift for a collector or an older child. You may sell the items that you personally make from the pattern that you purchase. You may translate the pattern into your language. You may NOT sell the pattern.
