Bears, Bears, Bears. I love them! Paddington and Winnie the Pooh will have soft spots in my hBearseart FOREVER! I can’t get enough and I just think Kids look so sweet at any age, all wrapped up snug and warm with Bear ears…adorable!
I created this hood from a pattern I made for a Farrington Fox hoodie (See patterns) and just made a little adjustment to the ears. It can be made in any colour, I think natural Bear colours look best, Brown, Black, White for a polar Bear…You get the idea! I have made mine in oatmeal because I had some yarn I wanted to use.
