Big Striped Bear

I'd like to share with you a teddy bear i have made for a friend, to give her own friend's daughter as a gift! I found the pattern via Pinterest (of course) by K & J Dolls Blog! Fantastic pattern, so easy to follow, and boy is the bear a big one! I see many variations in the future!

My customised changes, I worked in a spiral instead of (slst, ch1) a little pink bow and pink heart on one of her feet! I changed the stripe pattern to suit, just counting how many rows needed to be crocheted.....I also changed the ears, making a circle to 30sc, decreasing to 24, changing colour to white and decreasing to 6sc and fastening off! I hope the little girl who receives this teddy bear is VERY happy!
