Bears for Catie (on left-its name is Hannahlynn) and Sarah (on right-named Sam)

These two teddy bears were made from special requests from Catie and Sarah. They were so specific in what they wanted. Sarah told me she wanted a brown bear with a white circle on his belly. Like the colors I used in a ski cap for her brother. Just recently Catie asked me for a teddy with lots of colors. I found some of her favorites in a boucle yarn that I found at Target for a dollar a skein; I got the pattern from a book called Knitted Toys by Fiona McTague. I used about half of each color (yellow, pink, multi). With Sarah's, I used Lion Brand WoolEase that was leftover and I got the pattern from a link on About.com in the knitted toys section.
