Ursa was passionate with the butterflies. She rescued them, fed them, gave them names, so she became a lepidopterist, a scientist of the butterflies. Her favourite was Papilio, who flied back and forth in her home and followed the bear everywhere.
Ursa hate the guys who pinned the butterflies on their boards. Sometimes she scared them away from the meadow where they crossed each others way. (One advantage of being a bear.) She thought that if they would be really eager to learn about them, they would sit down next to the butterflies and listen them. They are chatting all the time. They say everything about theirself. Even a lot of things too what Ursa never wanted to hear. (One disadvantage of being a bear.)

Skill Level: Easy
You will need 10-15 hours to complete Ursa.
I used US terminology by the pattern.

Size
This bear is about 11.8” (30 cm) tall.
Size can widely vary if you use anything but the recommended yarn and hook size.
Tension also plays a large roll.
