Okay... I know this looks a little creepy, but I'm hoping this little teddy turns out really cute. The yarn (Angel's Fleece by Yarn Bee) is terribly annoying to work with - see that white string woven through the purple? That gets caught in the hook all the time. I'm thinking it's because the pattern calls for a small hook. Perhaps if I were using the hook the yarn called for it wouldn't be so splitty. It's redeeming qualities are looking fantastic and feeling pretty soft.
I think I'm going with a purple and green theme for Caroline's first birthday so this would make a special gift. I'm just not sure I'm going to be able to keep myself from giving her this little bear before March 11th. I was thinking of using this photo on Caroline's invites until I noticed I had chopped off Caroline's ear. I'll be on the hunt for the perfect photo until it's time to design invitations.

If you're interested in making this little bear, the pattern is available for free on the Lion Brand Yarn website. I'm using one hook larger than the pattern calls for, and I changed the ears; but other than that, I think I'll follow the pattern to a t.
Absolutely love this bear! I made one for my Mother In Law for Christmas and it was so easy! I might use this yarn you are using because it is way cuter! Great Job and thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm sure she will LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI love that I ran across this post love the little bear and I have some similar (annoying yes) yarn in my stash that would be perfect for one or two of these little guys! The yarn makes all the difference I believe. I don't know if I would have looked at that pattern twice if it wasn't for your picture!
