Amigurumi Bear Reviewed by Christina Doyle on 2009-11-28
I loved this super easy pattern! This is also my first amigurumi craft, and I had so much fun creating this little guy. I did use extra yarn just lying around so atleast it wasn't put to waste. I will definitly make another one of these for my young daughter.
