Cyrus' Crochet Bear |
So I decided to make a bear... but then realised that the poor thing would just end up on the top of my wardrobe and would never be cuddled at night. Out of guilt I decided the bear would be a present for my stepson Cyrus instead. Here he is...
The pattern I used was purchased from Etsy store sockmonkeykook. It was meant to be a red riding hood bear but as this was my first attempt at amigurumi I decided to forego the fancy bits and just made a simple bear.
For someone attempting this for the first time this pattern was a fantastic guide and the bear was complete in no time. Check out http://www.etsy.com/shop/sockmonkeykook for this and other patterns.
I'm afraid my other helpful item in making the bear was a Louise, who kindly guided me through my first attempt at working in the round despite my cries that I was useless at it. Unfortunately you can't buy her anywhere... sorry!
But isn't he such an adorable bear! I love him and thankfully so does Cyrus!
