Little Abbee

I just got this picture from Clarisse. Her bear turned out adorable, and he looks so warm and cozy with his sweater! Thank you for sharing your picture!  You can find this pattern for free here.

I posted a free pattern for a Teddy Bear a little while back, and I wanted to share a really cute picture of haNdgemaakt's teddy bear.  She originally posted this picture on Ravelry here.  Her Teddy Bear turned out so cute, and I love how she embroidered his mouth!  Thank you for sharing!

Notes:
-Be sure to crochet over your loose ends as you go along so you won't have as many to weave in when you are finished.
