I made this bear for my nephew, Troy. I got the pattern out of Crochet Today! Jan/Feb '09 issue. I used Red Heart Super Saver 5 oz.; color: Coffee Fleck. I really really wanted to use the yarn suggested in the pattern, Red Heart Fiesta, but every store that I went to was sold out of it for what seemed like weeks on end.
I like making stuffed animals, but am terrible at embroidery, so the nose and mouth are not to my satisfaction. Making the pieces was pretty simple. The patterns for each piece is so alike, that its very quick to crochet.
The gift was a little late for Christmas, but I think it will be a great keepsake in a stuffed animal hammock or on a shelf when he is tired of playing with it.
