I
worked on this pattern last winter and wanted to post it on here now
that it is out of my notebook and typed up. I know LDS Humanitarian can
use thousands of bears for the little ones, and so can so many other
charities. I hope you will make one for a charity you support. It's a
little bear that is made with love and prayers for the one you make it
for. He could certainly have a little scarf or vest if you want to add
that.
He can be made using up scraps too, rather like the classic Scrappy
Bear.
