Three best friends in one pattern: a cuddly beige Bear in a knitted cable sweater and cap, a long-eared white Rabbit in a bucket hat and shorts hugging a big carrot, and a fluffy Panda with a colourful striped scarf and a little heart.
A crochet pattern by Galina Astashova with step-by-step photos. The toys are crocheted; the Bear’s sweater and the Panda’s scarf are knitted, and the Rabbit’s shorts and bucket hat are sewn from fabric (cutting templates included).
