Baptism Bear

 Baptism Bear google file


Materials:
Yarn (4mm recommended hook size or smaller) 
         (pictured is a size 3 yarn with 4mm recommended 
           hook size.  I used a 3.5mm hook)
     Brown - 230 yd
     Blue - 200 yd
     A (stripe) - 100 yd
     B (stripe) - 100 yd
     Light Brown - 25 yd
    plush yarn - 50 yd
Hook (2-3 sizes smaller than 
          yarn recommendation)
Safety Eyes - 2 (10-15mm)
Fiber Fill for stuffing
Tapestry Needle

Stitch Guide:


st = stitch
sts = stitches
sl st = slip stitch
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
inc = increase (2sc in one stitch)
dec = decrease (flo next 2 st,yo, pull through flo stitches, yo, pull through both loops on hook)
yo = yarn over
flo = front loop only
blo - back loop only
FO = Fasten Off
IFO = invisible Fasten Off
WE = weave in ends (needs at least a 6 inch tail)
IS = invisible sew
MR = magic ring

Notes:

1.  Do not work with really dark yarn.  A personal preference with my aging eyes.  Really hard to see the stitches

2. Color changes happen on EVEN row numbers
    DO NOT cut threads between color changes.  
    Tie in square knots the two colors after working a 
    few rows in the beginning.  

3. sc 2 = single crochet in the next 2 stitches
    2sc = 2 single crochets in the next stitch

4. Use round marker for starting rounds.

3. R1 = Round 1 or Row 1
         (rows are only worked in bib and suspenders       
         for overalls)
