Bernie the Bunny Bear

 


 
Expanding my collection of little bears, I wanna share with you Bernie the bunny bear. I made Bernie thinking of easter but really you could fill the basket with whatever you want or just skip it and have a cute little bear with rabbit ears.
For this project I used a 3 mm hook, stuffing, 8 mm safety eyes, tapestry needle, DK yarn in colors: brown 20 g, white 10 g, beige for the basket 5 g, a little bit of whatever colors you choose for the eggs, a little bit of pink and a little bit of darker brown.
 
The bear will be 15 cm / 5,9 inch tall.
 
NOTE: For the bigger bear I changed to a 4,5 mm crochet hook and medium worsted yarn, and the safety eyes 10 mm. This bear will measure 18 cm / 7,08 in approx.

You can, however, use any yarn you with the correspondent hook.
