Crochet pattern — "Heart Teddy Bear" The most delightful heart-shaped teddy bear / cushion in lovely soft yarn. The hands are designed with a left and a right hand — making the bear feel even more lifelike and huggable. Ideal as an extra cosy companion on a child's or teenager's bed, or as a loving gesture for someone who needs a hug — and honestly, don't we all sometimes? We can always use a little more love in our lives. Sleep with it, cuddle it, or simply let it look beautiful and inviting on a shelf. Make it for yourself as a wonderful self-care project, or as a heartfelt gift for someone you care about. Feel free to check out my other teddy bear patterns, or the A Loving Thought pattern — ideal for showing your love. Info: Generally for my patterns, the hook size can be changed to fit your own gauge. When using a different hook size than specified, there may be size variations compared to my figures, but this is of little importance as long as you are consistent in your choices.
