I am working on this pattern for my best friend Romelie. (I will post this Rome after you have seen your gift.)  I wanted to make her a teddy bear and her favorite color is purple.  I didn’t have to go far to find a pattern.

One of my favorite crochet book series is “Zoomigurumi“.  The series has 5 books so far and contains patterns from various crocheters.  I couldn’t even begin to pick out a favorite book.   The bear pattern I just finished up can be found in Zoomigurumi 5.  I pick up most of my books at Barnes & Noble or Amazon.

The start of the nose and face.

The completed face and head.

The start of the hat for Theodore.

Hat.

I then had to crochet the hat to the head. (It definitely won’t be coming off this bear anytime soon.)

I have added on the ears.

Two little legs & boots.

I hooked the two legs together.
