垂掌小熊（鉤針）

The unstuffed limbs make this bear perfect for little hands to swing around or tuck under an arm—my niece hasn't put it down since it arrived. I crocheted it in one evening with bulky yarn, and the 19-inch size feels substantial yet packable for car rides.

My toddler has claimed this bear as her travel buddy, and the stretchy unstuffed limbs make it perfect for her to drag around or tuck under her arm. I crocheted it in two evenings with bulky yarn and the 19-inch size feels just right for a snuggle companion.

The bulky yarn worked up even faster than I expected—I finished the whole bear in one weekend. He’s exactly 19 inches tall as listed, and that ample belly makes him feel wonderfully substantial once stuffed.
