☾ Beary cozy sleepovers start here

This crochet bear sleeping bag is comfy and cute, made for summer camping, indoor fun and sleepovers. The bear pillow is detachable, so it doubles as a snuggle buddy.

The body uses two strands of worsted yarn held together, so it works up quickly. A picture tutorial shows you how to line it with fleece, and no sewing machine is required.

• Detachable pillow. The bear head pillow buttons on and off.
