Sometimes you get your hands on a yarn and the yarn just speaks to you. When I touched Yarnspiration’s new Bernat Velvet yarn, I knew that I had to make something ultra soft, and cuddly.
Emma-Noel took one look at it and said that she would love a cuddly bear to snuggle up with in this yarn, so I am thrilled to introduce to you Emma-Noel’s Velvet Bear!
Here are the instructions to make your own Velvet Bear. If you make one, please tag me on Instagram @coco.crochet.lee and use the hashtag #cococrochetlee!
