Rated 3 out of 5 by from Head wobbles, body not round enough Crochet pattern isn't difficult once you find instruction to make the Magic Ring needed for almost every part. Assembly instructions are almost nonexistent. Still not sure I have the heart where it should go. Stuff pieces as you go and don't overstuff. Head is too round for the body which is rather long and not round. If I make it again, I will modify the body instructions. Love the yarn. Curious how my granddaughter will like this.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from pattern and picture do not match This pattern does not resemble the picture. The body is much too small around and way too long of a neck. The head is so much bigger than the body that it looks horrible. The feet pattern does not give shape to the bear feet. I made the body 45 stitches around and 4 rounds shorter. This helped the head and body look better together. Also making the body rounder made the feet actually sit on the lower rounds and not the bottom of the bear itself. The snout, ears, and arms are great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Look & Feel. 100% Adorable! I just had to make this bear based on the adorable photo. The velvet yarn makes it outstanding. HOWEVER, it is difficult to see your stitches using it so it is very important to stay on top of your stitch count per row! It makes this otherwise easy pattern somewhat tedious. So glad I made this bear!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Easy to Make While this is easy to make (I have a tendency to tweak it) the directions to assemble are almost nonexistent...I found it difficult to follow “attach as pictured”.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Pattern missing stuff The pattern doesn’t explain the magic ring that starts every section.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Crochet Bear While I think this is an adorable bear, I found the instructions lacking when putting the parts together. While the stitches are pretty basic, I think the whole construction is a bit much for a beginner.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Soft and cuddly The bear and yarn are adorable but I cannot get the head to not wobble. Any ideas?
