measured 9 inches in length to wrap twice around the neck.)

FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS
Part 1: Finishing the Head
- Insert plastic safety eyes into the bear’s head, leaving a gap in the middle for the muzzle. (I inserted
6mm eyes between R9-R10, 7 sts apart.) - Using some darker brown scraps of yarn, sew a horizontal line for a nose and a vertical line for the
mouth onto the bear’s muzzle. - Position the muzzle between the eyes and sew it to the head.
- Sew the two ears onto the bear’s head.
Part 2: Finishing the Body
1. Using white yarn, embroider a design such as a snowflake across the center of the ornament.
2. Sew the legs to the bottom of the ornament. (Note that the opening is on top.)
3. Sew the arms to both sides of the bear, near where the top opening is.
Part 3: Putting It All Together
1. Finally, sew the head and body together using the long yarn tail from the body. If needed, add
additional stuffing before closing up the opening.
2. Wrap the scarf around your bear’s neck, and sew it securely if desired.
3. Optional: Sew or fasten a loop to the top of the bear’s head. This way, he can be hung on a tree as an actual ornament.
