Joy Bears Halloween Costumes

Crochet Pattern By

Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

Is It A Cat, A Bee or A Pumpkin?

It's all of These and more.

I am so excited about this costume Crochet Pattern

For Our Joy Bears I can hardly Stop Giggling!

They are so so cute. A Cat, And Bee And Pumpkin.

The colors and Styles are only limited by Your imagination.

I wanted to design a pumpkin costume for our bears,

but I also wanted a bee and cat so I designs a very easy

crochet pattern that be all three.

With Cat Tail and Bee Stinger!

This Costume pattern will work for Our Joy bears,

Most "Build a Bear" animals, Cabbage Patch Dolls,

Care Bears, many other Stuffed animals.

I designed them using Medium (4) weight Acrylic yarns.

This way they are made from yarns we probably all

ready have in your yarn stash, but also they are washable

if they get dirty.

Each Costume as a matching hat with ear holes for

the bears ears. The Costume made to easily dress

the bears, with a tie on the back for easy off as well.

Although I think Once you see them in their cute costume,

you might not want to take it off.
