Backstory:
Creepy crochet bears haunt your nightmares, their stitched open smiles and their eyes cold and unblinking. Crafted from a witch’s yarn, they glide silently through dark forests or stand at the edge of your bed, watching with an eerie, unnatural stillness. Their stiff, unnerving limbs never move like normal bears; instead, they float and shift with an unsettling grace. No matter how far you run, their presence grows ever closer, their silence louder, until you realize: they’re not just in your dreams, they’re always watching, waiting.

About:
Approximately 6 inches tall made with weight 4 yarn. Pattern is 18 pages long, with pages 14-18 being the printer friendly version. Printer friendly version has all photos removed, round breakdowns removed since these require photos for extra help, and it has the claw and teeth tutorial removed.
