I had so much fun designing this bear, I had kicked it around in my head for months and I knew I wanted to make this adorable cute bear with an exaggerated nose and small eyes. He is so darling and has so much character! You’ll have fun making this bear and whether you display him for holidays, place him as a nice couch pillow or give him to a special someone, you’ll enjoy him for years to come!

You will also notice that this bear has no arms. This is not a design flaw! I designed him perfectly to hug, which is why he is part of my Huggles collection! Another reason he is so huggable is because you will stuff him quite tightly!

This pattern comes with the bear pattern, his sweater or optional bow tie.

Supplies Needed:
• a G/6 (4mm hook)
• plenty of stuffing
• 2 safety eyes size. I used 9mm, but you can use what you want.
• Approx. 400 yards of yarn. Although I do not know the exact because I used a Jumbo Super Saver skein and I used about half. They are 744 yards.
• A yarn needle, for sewing things on
• A stitch marker - This isn’t optional as you will heavily rely on this.
