Knot off & leave a long yarn tail for sewing the hood onto the bear. Sew the hood on.

15-17. 20 sc, ch 1 and turn – 3 rows

Knot off and weave in all of your ends.

to create the look of the bear holding the blanket you’ll be taking any color piece of yarn and weaving it in and out through the middle of the blanket. Sew it to the bears hand. Tada! He’s holding his blankie now!
