December 15, 2016

Crochet Polar Bear Rug

On the eighth day of 12 Days of DIY, I made crocheted for you, a polar bear rug! This is hands down the most difficult crochet pattern I’ve made thus far. I had to unravel, crochet and unravel, again and again, it drove me crazy! Lucky, for you guys I perfected this pattern so you don’t have to make all the mistakes I made. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and let me know if you end up making this polar ice bear rug.

    When I crochet this bear, I will try surface crochet with an eyelash yarn
    to add some furry softness. Many WIP's ahead of the bear project, tho'.
    Thank you for the base pattern to get me started.

    I would've surfaced crocheted the eyelashes on but I was really tired at the time. All the trial and error I had with this pattern really wore me out. I'm glad you like the rug and hope you share pictures of your finished creation! ♥

I don’t get it. Lol 🐮🌈✨

If you didn’t read my last post, I decided to take a mental health week off or social media because I wasn’t in the best mind space. I made time for hobbies, exercised, baked, and slept better. I hope you all make time for your health and focus on yourself rather than social media. 💖 Anyways there is a new weekly post up on the blog. Link in bio. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 🫖🍰✨
