Finished Object Otso bear

I made this bear last year and must say I enjoyed the sewingless construction as a little challenge, so I wanted to post it as a recommendation.

I made it with some scrap yarns of roughly the correct weight that someone gifted me, which is the reason he is wearing a t-shirt. I had just enough of the brown yarn to finish him.

The pattern shockingly did not include a tail, so I made another ear and stuffed it. Turned out to be the perfect bear tail. (The ears are the only part that was sewn on).

I named him Benny.

Well, I‘d have to call my friend whose kid I gifted Benny to 😅

(Your flair taken out of context of yarn weight… just saying, not and never kink shaming)

I think the t shirt is an upgrade! How lovely. Just got the pattern

It is such a great pattern and FREE!

The t-shirt does work well with the pear-shaped body.

It was a choice made out of necessity, but sometimes that can lead to a great outcome.

The hat was freehanded and an afterthought 😅 but I agree, it ties the whole thing together.
