Amigurumi Little Ger the Felted Bear

This bear is a smaller version of Gerry the Felted Bear and is 8.5" tall when completed! Little Ger is a fantastic beginning project for felting: it's so easy! You crochet the pieces from a wool yarn, and then toss them in the washing machine, and magic happens! This project is crocheted holding two strands of yarn together and a big hook, so it works up fast. And because this bear is felted, it's very durable and huggable.

To complete this pattern, you will need:

• size L (8 mm) crochet hook
• 2 colors of worsted weight 100% wool yarn (we use Ella Rae Classic): white (330 yards) and tan (less than 100 yards)
• polyester stuffing
• two 18mm brown animal eyes
• brown animal nose
• brown sewing thread
• sewing needle

This is a beginner level pattern, requiring only simple shaping. Pattern contains progress photos.
