Commercial use of this pattern is not permitted, however you may sell any of the bears

Advanced Beginner/Intermediate
Supplies:
E hook
1 skein of yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver in Frosty Green)
Small amt of embroidery floss in black for nose
Safety eyes 6mm (you can also embroider eyes. I do not recomend the safety eyes for children under 3)
Tapestry needle
Stuffing (fiberfill)
Scissors
* Abbreviations
Ch: chain
Sc2tog: sc 2 together. I like to make these "invisible" by only using front loops for
decreases.
Sc3tog: sc 3 together
Notes:
All instructions are made using American crochet abbreviations. Be sure to mark your
rounds! The bear is worked amigurumi style in the round without connecting: head,
arms, & body. The feet/legs are worked by joined rounds, ch1 never counts as a st.
If the pattern reads "sc3, 2sc" it would be read as "single crochet in the next three
stitches, two single crochet in the next".
