Pumpkin Patch Bear

 

I was inspired by a pattern I saw on TokyoBunnie’s Instagram to create this cute pumpkin bear!

 

 

I made the bear big enough to be a little accent pillow or a huggable plush. This pattern works up pretty quickly. You can make your own pumpkin bear in an afternoon.

You can purchase the ad free, printable version of this pattern for $1.99 HERE on Etsy.
