Hudson Bay Cat & Coney Island Bear (Cuddly Companion Series)

The Hudson Bay Cat and Coney Island Bear Patterns provide written instructions with photo references for crocheting these two charming and oh-so-soft stuffies.  Both Hudson Bay Cat and Coney Island Bear are named after the yarn colors used to make them: Lionbrand's Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick® yarn in 'Coney Island' and 'Hudson Bay'.  With super bulky yarn, the cute kitty and teddy bear stuffed animals are quick to work up.  When finished, they measure in at an impressive height of 13 inches (33 centimeters), making it a relatively big amigurumi doll that is fun to hug and cuddle.

Both of these softies are part of the Cuddly Companion Series, a new line of dolls that I'm designing as perfect buddies for your baby or young child to love and cherish! (Note: Plastic safety eyes can be a choking hazard for babies. Use yarn or thread to embroider eyes instead.)

These two 8-page PDF pattern files include complete written instructions with accompanying photo references for crocheting both stuffed animal toys.  Do not forget to download both pattern files after purchase!
