Little Bear Square Pattern


Little Bear Square

by Elizabeth Mareno



Hi friends!

This week I came up with a cute little square that I decided to share with you here. The finished size is roughly 3.5-4", so it's not very big at all. It won't take up all your patience with detailing, either!

Materials:
Scrap amounts (about 1/2 oz each) of bear color (bone, off white, chocolate, gray, etc), secondary color, and edge color.
#7/4.5mm hook
Large eye needle for weaving in ends.

Abbreviations US terms:                  
MR- magic ring                        
SC- single crochet                    
CH- chain                                
HDC- half double crochet        
DC- double crochet                  
SL ST- slip stitch

Put 2dc around each of the next two posts (they are marked with a "2"). Sl st around the next four posts (these are marked with a dot). Put 2dc around the next 2 posts (also marked with a "2"). Sl st around the last post marked with a dot and cut your yarn and tuck ends.
