“Simon, (and his sister Simonne) says “Look what I can do! I have thumbs!” Simon says “I can give you a thumbs up!” Simon or his sister Simonne will give you a “thumbs up” when you make this adorable little bear…Think of the possibilities and all the things that they can do with opposable thumbs! These wonderful little bears will hitch a ride right into your heart as you bring them to life. And of course when it is your very own little bear, he or she might whisper in your ear that his/her name is not Simon or Simonne at all but something quite different altogether, for that is the very special magic of bears. But until that great time comes Simon (Simonne) says “Take me home and bring me to life!” and who could be mean enough to say “No” to that little face?“

The head in this pattern has a different twist to it and it is a little different from other crochet bear heads you may have made. It is a one piece head design that has an unusual step to it! It’s finished look has a higher forehead which gives it an old fashioned childlike appearance. The longer foot design will help your bear to stand. And the thumbs (up) give it that finishing youthful touch. Will you make yours with snips and snails and puppy dog tails… or sugar and spice and everything nice?
