    About

    I liked this safari faux fur so much I forgot to check the weight before ordering and it is super chunky. I knew it wouldn't work for most animals but when I was searching through my patterns I thought this baby bear would work ok as most of the face is using an alternative yarn, I think a monkey may work also for the same reasons. I am very happy with how this little guy has turned out which is just as well as I have the same yarn in three different colours !

      Now he is perfect as all your toys are but I think he needs to come home with me as he has his wee arms reaching out.he makes me want to cuddle him
