Secure yarn, and seam other side, again starting near the bottom of the legand continuing to the top of the head, with an opening now left where the legs jointhe body.

• Create ears by running stitches across the corner at each side of the head.

• Stuff bear, filling head and arms first, and then legs and stomach.

• Make neck by weaving a length of yarn in and out around the bear where the armsjoin. Pull tight, pushing more stuffing up into the head to firm before securing theyarn and tidying the ends. Finish stuffing the bear, and seam the opening shut.

• Sew buttons on for eyes, and embroider a nose and mouth. If giving to a child,embroider eyes rather than using buttons.
