White Yarn (Rim): Join white yarn. Work 2 rounds of 15 SC.
Finishing: Fold the white rim upward. Make a tiny pom-pom by wrapping white yarn around your finger 40 times, tying it in the middle, cutting the loops, and trimming it to size. Glue to the tip of the hat.
The Bicolor Scarf
This uses a special alternating technique:
Ch 3 with Red.
Pull up loops in the 2nd and 3rd chain.
Switch to White: pull white through the loops.
Alternately pick up the “back loops” of the previous color and pull the new color through.
Continue until it fits around the bear’s neck (~40 repetitions). Fasten off.
Part 5: Assembly & Face
Ears: Sew the ears to the head between Rounds 3-5 (counting from the top of the head).
Arms: Sew the arms to the sides of the body on Round 9 (the neck level).
Eyes: Embroider eyes or use safety eyes. Space them 3 stitches apart, aligned with the ears.
Nose and Mouth: Use brown yarn to embroider a small horizontal line for the nose and a tiny “v” shape below it for the mouth.
Hat: Apply a little stuffing inside the hat. Glue it to the bear’s head at a slight angle.
Scarf: Wrap the scarf around the neck. Tie a knot or use a dab of glue to secure it.
Congratulations! Your Christmas Bear is finished!
