This is my teddy bear pattern - I haven’t got a good name for it yet – started out as Mike’s Bear but have since decided against that title.  I’ll post a photo once I have a close up of just the bear I made with this pattern.  Otherwise if you’re on KnittingHelp, I’ve got one posted with Aaron’s bear and Josh’s bear.
