(which is not always the case, lol) The pattern is written so well and was so easy to follow I completed the bear in only a couple of hours. As it was for a baby I used a soft baby yarn with very little fuzz. (I didn&#8217;t want alot of fuzz for the baby to suck on) Although the stiches could be seen it did not take away fron the cuteness of the bear. I also stictched on the eyes and nose with yarn (and thanks to Junes recent post on eye placement, went very smoothly) I did have a little trouble with attaching the pieces but nothing that caused a great problem and I figured out some tricks to help me the next time. This will be a pattern I will use again and again. I highly recomend it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Congrats Brigitta &#8211; I&#8217;ll email you to find out which pattern you&#8217;d like as your prize \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>To be entered into this month&#8217;s draw for a free pattern of your choice, just write a review of any product in <a href=\"\/shop\">my shop<\/a> &#8211; thank you!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>New Donationware<\/h2>\n<p>With Christmas approaching, I wanted to make sure I had all my seasonal craft tutorials available as easy-to-print donationware for you.
