Today I give you the next bear in Crocheted Bear Awareness Week. The pattern is Little Teddy from Lucy’s blog again but with a twist.

Bet you weren’t expecting a panda. Not after all my panda whinging.

I followed the pattern, just changing colours when needed, and then added a little tail. I used black felt and 6mm safety eyes for his eyes. The result is okay, but definitely not as cute as the pain-in-the-neck panda.

I do, however, love my sloth of bears.

The panda and the brown bear are crocheted with the same weight yarn but I used a 2.5mm hook for the brown and 3.5mm for the panda. I prefer the tight weave of the smaller one. Rainbow is my favourite bear.

I’m not sure if I’m done with Crocheted Bear Awareness Week. I thought the panda would be the last, but I may add to my sloth, just so I can keep using the word sloth.

* To amuse myself I googled “Crocheted Bear Awareness Week.” My blog was listed for the first three hits. I’m not sure why I’m so proud.
