Created by Kerry Lord for @welsh_tenor, this extra special crochet pattern makes the most of the loop stitch and colour changing techniques. Based on the Tibetan Blue Bear, which is one of the least observed subspecies of brown bear due to its shy nature and mountainous habitat, Martyn is a welcome addition to the TOFT bear family and sits proudly with his friends in the menagerie.

TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord. This crochet animal kit contains TOFT’s quality pure wool yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern. There are video links for all the crochet stitches and techniques used in the pattern to get you started and help you complete your toy.
