This is an unbelievably quick project. It took less than 45 minutes for each body piece and then a little over an hour to seam and stuff.

I made liberal use of poly pellets, so this guy is hefty (he weighs in at 12.50 ozs). I didn’t really need to use too much stuffing on the belly and booty, the short rows do most of the work.

I’m not crazy about the facial expression, I may have gone overboard with the muzzle. I definitely see myself making another one of these and coming up with a cute little scarf.

8/15/14 (4th pic) By popular request, I made a second one of these. It went just as fast as the first. I love the instant gratification (and hopefully using up my stash of Baby Blanket soon)!

1/31/15 (bottom pic) I am making some things for a colleague’s new baby, so I thought I would also make a bear for the new baby’s older (but still a toddler) brother.
