Finished Teddy Bear measures about 5 inches using worsted weight yarn.

The school year just started a little less than 2 weeks ago. As you probably know there are a lot of little ones missing their mommies and daddies. Some of them get really scared by new environments. Sometimes you also get hurt playing at recess. I see so many tears at school I wanted to make little bears to give to the kids to help them feel better.
