I have been working on a Care Bear Afghan for the past year and a half. I want to finish this for a Christmas present for Brittny. A simple panel of single crochet with cross stitching over it creates a Care Bear. This is in a booklet that can be found at most craft stores. While it didn’t look like it was going to be such a long drawn out project, for me, having little spare time to work on it, it has become quite a challenge. Currently I have the bear just about done. This particular one- Sunshine Bear- is sitting on a swing that is tied to a star. Once the bear part is completed I need to still do the star. It’s turning out to be very nice and I am pleased so far. I know Brittny will love this as it will be one of her favorite bears and is done is a soft baby type yarn. It will be big enough to cover a twin bed. If you do intend to attempt such a project, give yourself plenty of time to do it as it is time consuming. Doing the counted cross stitch isn’t all that hard over single crochet, but pulling out errors can be rather tricky. I know.
