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 Audrey Deneui on 2009-11-06
I really like this pattern. I made two or three several years ago, when my kids were younger. I bought craft eyes and noses--they're like tack pins, only plastic, very easy to put in--instead of embroidering and using buttons for the eyes. Audrey
