This was my first 3D project. I found the pattern on Etsy but wish I had checked out other Ravelers’ projects before buying the pattern and yarn. I found the pattern to be poorly written and unclear. It did not follow common knitting abbreviation conventions and occasionally left abbreviations undefined. It also gave almost no instruction on assembling the bear from the knit pieces. I think this patterns could also be much improved by knitting pieces in the round instead of flat with seaming.
