Bertie the Bear

I LOVE this pattern by Ilaria Caliri!  It was available in issue 31 of Simply Crochet Magazine and I couldn’t wait to make one!  It is also available to buy on Ravelry here

So here is my Bertie…

Of course,  I thought he might be lonely so I made him a friend…

I named her Bernadette.   I’m not sure about her dress – it didn’t turn out quite as imagined but I still think she’s cute.

I have the feeling I will be making many, many more of these!
