I started with a great baby socks pattern from Mamma That Makes. These are fabulous little booties/socks with sizes down to 26-28wk. I whipped up 10 pairs in 32 week size, twins tend to be a bit smaller ;)

| Mamma That Makes: fabulous pattern! |

Materials:
*Super Bulky yarn (size 6) I used Bernat Baby blanket in "Little Girl Dove" & " Little Lilac Dove"
*L hook
*tapestry needle
*scissors
*small amt of ww yarn or embroidery floss for face details
* fiberfill
Abbreviations:
* ch: chain
* sl st: slip stitch
* sc: single crochet
* sc2tog: single crochet 2 stitches together (decrease)
* dc: double crochet
* f.o. : finish off
Notes:
All terms American. If pattern reads "sc, sc2tog, 2sc" it would be read as, " single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch", directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted. As with any pattern, be sure to read through once before beginning, and don't forget to mark your rounds! (I use a bit of contrasting yarn) This is an original design by me, Anna Wilson 2016.
You may do whatever you like with your completed Super Bulky Baby Bear, you can sell them, cuddle them or even give it as a gift! I only ask that you please not claim this pattern as your own, I worked hard to design Super Bulky Baby Bear :)

| All my Bear parts before attaching |
Finishing:
Attach the body parts in ways look good to you. I sew the ends of arms and legs closed flat before attaching, but you can do however you prefer.
After attaching all the body parts it's time to get creative! How do you want your bear to look, just a nose and eyes? Or do you want to add more features? I added 2 eyelashes to each eye for my bears.
