I have long loved the little Koda Bear from Joan Beebee and have done a number of them as gifts.

I recently did a different project using the Bernat Pipsqueak yarn and had some left over and thought why not use it for a Koda Bear. Took about 40 grams and made what is my favorite little bear of all time. At just under 9” tall, it is perfect for little hands, and oh, so cuddly!

With the kind permission of the original designer, I’m posting this free version which is redesigned a little bit to accomodate the specialty yarn.
