1. Barnaby the Sleepy Crochet Bear
There is nothing quite as comforting as a classic teddy bear, and Barnaby is designed to be the ultimate bedtime companion. This free pattern utilizes super bulky chenille yarn to create a plush, velvety texture that is incredibly soft to the touch. With his gently closed eyes embroidered in simple black thread and a slightly oversized, floppy body, Barnaby looks like he is always ready for a cozy nap. He is worked in the round from the bottom up, making him an approachable project for advanced beginners who want to practice working with plush yarns. Add a tiny crocheted nightcap or a miniature scarf to give him a touch of whimsical personality that will shine on your Pinterest boards.
