The Bears Ears are a matching set of buttes in the canyonlands of southeast Utah. This unique bohemian pillow is inspired by the playful spirit of the bear. Easy single crochet rows form the base of the pillow. Fringe is added to the ridged rows after joining the pillow front and back. The short fringe is a great way to use up small yarn scraps.
