Summer Camp: Bundle of Baby Bear Accessories!

One of the best parts about these cute little bears is that once you make the babies, you’ll probably want to spoil them with a few little surprises and accessories. Here are a few patterns to start with. If you’ll be making these patterns for little ones, you may want to substitute Velcro for the buttons to be safe from the possibility of choking.

Materials:

size E4 (3.5 mm) Crochet hook

Bernat Baby sport yarn in off white

small buttons (You may want to consider velcro instead of the small buttons if you are concerned about the buttons being a choking hazard for your child. Or if you’d like, you can make the Pull on diaper pattern instead.)

Using Black yarn or embroidery floss and a yarn needle, embroider the nose.
Using dark brown yarn, embroider the eyes.

Back pack Strap:

This strap acts as a drawstring to cinch the bag closed and also doubles as backpack straps.
Using 3 yarn colors of your choice, cut 1 yard (3 feet) of each color. Line up the ends of the yarn strands so that they are even and tie the strands together in a knot near the lined up ends. Now, braid the strands together for the length of the strands.

Now find the center back stitch of the bag and weave the braided strap through the Double Crochet stitches at the top of the bag. When you have woven the strap through the DC row, adjust the straps so that there is an equal amount of extra length on both sides to be used as the backpack straps.

Secure the ends of the backpack straps to the bottom of the bag. Find the center back stitch and then secure the right side strap to the stitch 7 stitches to the right of the center back ST, then secure the left sided strap to the stitch 7 stitches to the left of the center ST. Secure by knitting in place.

Stay tuned! More fun is on the way for the Briarbears! Keep crocheting and checking back.
