beary cute
Sorry about the bad pun, I couldn't help myself, this pink baby bobbi bear is just so beary beary cute!

I'll admit that I was more than a little worried about the how the hot pink Blue Sky organic cotton would look in a big bear (yes, it's about 15" high - and this is the baby bobbi bear!). I sort of started this on a whim to see how it would come out and was completely surprised and thrilled when she came out so well! I added a little brown nose and eyes with some scraps and she's simply adorable. Blindingly pink - you're not going to misplace her anywhere - but adorable. And the yarn is soooo soft. With the addition of the stuffing, you can't help but squoosh her all the time.
The pattern was truly a blast to knit. I had lots of fun flipping and working in one direction, then in another, adding short-rows for the bear butt and the cutest little ears ever. This is one of those patterns you could really enjoy making over and over. It may seem confusing when you first take a look at it since you're working in all sorts of different directions all the time but you can read through Blue Sky's helpful notes about the pattern for some additional explanation about working each section.
This beary pink little cutie has gone to live with another newborn cutie, Shannon's baby. It's just cuteness overload down there these days!

Love it!....I want one!!!!
Soooo cute! I love Bobby Bear in any color, but that hot pink is the best ever. I also love Blue Sky organic cotton. I'm using it for a tee-top now.
Ahem, you are going to make one for Wee One aren't you?
Cute baby, cute bear, a match made in heaven.
Every kid needs a favourite bear. I didn't have one, my son did though.
I've made a few of these, and they work in almost any worsted weight yarn, in my experience. You can even do a slightly heavier worsted/aran, and just do a single strand, and it still comes out cute! (:
Awesome job! I think the colour works really well!
That is adorable! I still giggle at the thought of knitting a butt.
I made one in brown for my niece for Christmas, and I am going to make the big Bobbi Bear for her first birthday with some bulky yarn that just looked awful as a sweater. I'm looking forward to seeing how huge the big one is.
