I’ve had success with each of them, so I’ll share their information below. You don’t have to use one of these yarns, of course: if you’re feeling adventurous, you might use the yarn weight and quantity, as well as gauge information, to substitute a yarn of your choice. Over the years, I’ve tried several different yarns with this pattern.

I’ve included photos to show this placement in case you want to make your bear like mine, but feel free to play around with the placement to find the positioning you like best.Īny nap just wouldn’t be complete without a nightcap and blanky.Ĭheck out these new free crochet patterns for Sleepy Bear accessories. It’s easy! I like for my bears arms and legs to face forward when they are sitting down, so I sew the legs on at an angle on the bottom and the arms on the sides so that they point forward. By crocheting the arms and legs and ears closed, you are able to sew them on through that row of single crochet loops. Each includes instructions to close up the end. I think you’ll really like this detail.Īnother distinguishing feature of this pattern is the way the appendages are sewn on. Do you have that trouble too? So with this pattern, you crochet the head, do a round in the front loops only to create the neck and then continue with the body.
It’s really hard to get them on perfectly straight. I have trouble sewing on heads, especially on larger animals like this one. This bear pattern is unique in one key way: the head and body are crocheted together. The rest I plan to donate to the Children’s Hospital of Denver where they can bring some comfort to the patients. I made another for my cousin’s first child and another for a friend out of yarn she had given me. He said the bear, which he named Buster, brought him a lot of comfort while he was recovering. The first one I ever made I gave to a friend who had been hit by a car while riding his bike to work. I don’t think I’ve ever fiddled with a pattern that long! And I’ve made almost a dozen bears in the process. I’ve been working on this pattern for almost a year now. Since he can’t be disturbed, I’ll just tell you all about him. There’s someone here who would like to meet you. I’d like to introduce you to a friend of mine.
