The little bear is made with sport weight cotton yarn and features a cute yet realistic look. All the pieces are worked in rounds/spirals in a single crochet stitch. Body, head, legs, and belly are worked in one piece. Tail and ears are the only pieces that require sewing; I prefer my bear with no tail, but I provide instructions to make one. I embroider eyes in my toys, but you can use safety eyes, beads, or tiny buttons if you prefer.
