Bear in a Jif

Lion Brand® Jiffy®

GAUGE:

11 sc = 4 in. (10 cm) BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

Sc2tog (decrease) (Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop) twice. Yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook.

NOTES:

Rnds are worked in continuous spirals; do not join and do not turn. Place marker to indicate beg of rnd.

Bear in a Jif Reviewed by Linda Ptaszynski on 2011-12-28 ****
The parts were easy and quick to crochet however, more instruction/pictures describing how to put the bear together would be helpful.
