About Buddy the Bear

Buddy the Bear is our 6 weight pick, and it is a pick rather than a default — we looked at the shelf twice before leaving it on. There are no reviews on it yet, so judge it by the preview and not by a score that does not exist. Jennifer McDow Kearney is the name on the listing. 70 saves mean nobody has tested it for you. We still think it holds up.

Put it to work on amigurumi first. If it survives that, it will survive whatever you had in mind next. A blanket is the project where the stated finished size matters most, so measure the bed before casting anything on. Open it big before you commit. At thumbnail size every pattern on this shelf looks equally good, which is the problem with thumbnails.

How to use this pattern

  1. Download the PDF from Creative Fabrica and read it through once before you buy yarn — gauge, hook size and total yardage are all on the first page.
  2. Crochet the gauge swatch. A blanket off by half a stitch per inch finishes a hand's width narrower than the photo.
  3. Check whether the pattern is written, charted or both: charts are faster once you read them and useless if you do not.
  4. Buy all the yarn in one go from the same dye lot — a blanket is big enough for a lot change to show as a stripe.
