brown bear ornament

Hi!  Well, koala is on his way to his new home!  I didn't think he'd leave quite as quickly as he did so we'll definitely miss him.  Sometimes it's hard to let go of the things you make by hand.  I'll try to make another but my list of items to remake is getting longer.  Today I'm sharing his friend, brown bear which is also a cute little ornament.

Here's koala and brown bear together.  Brown bear is just a bit smaller than koala.  He has arms and legs and wears the cutest red sweater.  I crocheted him using a pattern from Amy of Little Muggles and the pattern is HERE.  I found the Little Muggles site by accident when I was looking for cute ornaments to make.  He is really round and cute!

You can prop him up to stand on his legs with some wiggling but he might topple over.  He is pretty lightweight. 

He also comes with a tag for gift giving.  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn and fits pretty perfectly.

His nose is felt with a little black stitch.  The nose and felt inner ears are hot glued on.

One of the cutest things about him is his red and white sweater!  And his little arms!  Here's a backside view.

He has a red ribbon to hang on the tree too.  My kids love this guy so much.  More so than the koala for some reason so they found it hard to believe that he didn't sell first!  I have to tuck away my crocheted pieces so the kids don't handle them too much.  Maybe I'll make one for our tree too.

I also listed a bunch of 2018 calendars last night!  I hope the listings make sense.  I usually try not to list items at night when I'm tired but wanted to get things crossed off my to do list.  I'll share details about each calendar at a later time but you can head to shop for a sneak peek if you're curious.

Thanks so much for reading!
