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

Bear Ears: The stitches that you need to find to make sure your ears are centered are marked in blue. On the right side join with a sl st around the post of the stitch with the arrow. 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.
