Joy Bears Halloween Costumes Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

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.
