This is one of my most beloved projects of the year. Maybe because it’s also my first amigurumi/toy pattern to be published. I have already made designs for kids, but more into the accessories department, like the animal backpacks or other similar designs like the ones included in my Crochet Kids’ Bags book. But some months ago, I was invited to participate in Annie’s Signature Designs once more, now to design a crocheted toy. The idea was to make a very classic couple of bears with a twist of color and fun attires. And that’s how I came up with Irene & George Crochet Pattern. Yes, you’re right it’s a 2 in 1 pattern as well, for you to make one or the other, or preferably both.
Because what could be more essential in any nursery but a bear! And even more so if it’s a cute pair. The design comes with round by round instructions for each body part and additional specifications for clothing. You will be able to find it through Annie’s Craft Store website, as a print-to-order version, PDF digital download and even a Build-a-kit, for you to use the exact type of yarn as me to crochet them. Are they something you would add to your to do list?
