July 11: bear
Today’s toy is a crocheted bear. Design by Terry Kimbrough, in the book holiday bears. I used the pattern for the bee bear, but just used one variegated color for the tummy. Using King Cole Christmas chunky, Lion Brand Heartland, and 4 mm hook, this bear was fun to make. The pattern is quite old, so many pieces and sewing. I don’t mind it. It looks like a Christmas ornament body.
