Teddy Bears

A few months back I was out shopping with my Mom for craft supplies when I came across a free pattern to knit an adorable teddy bear.  I decided since the yarn to make it was on sale that I'd get some and make one for Kyrie.  It turned out to be a very simple pattern that knit easy and stuffed well.  The tricky part was sewing the buttons on for the arms & legs.  When it was finished, it was so adorable that I decided to make a blue one for my cousin's baby shower.  The boys of course loved the bears also so I've made one for Conrad in green, white, and brown.  I've got blue yarn for Matthew's, and thank goodness Robert doesn't want one...yet.  To be honest I'm quite tired of knitting bears!

Unfortunately all the pics I took of the bears, in progress and finished were on my phone's SD card that got formatted.  When I find the pattern though I'll post it, as well as the adjustments I made to it to be able to knit it in the round.  It worked out much better without the seams sewn up the back of all the body parts.
