Notes

The yarn type used is Poly Cherry, a cotton cord yarn suited for sturdy projects. You may substitute with any similar weight yarn but gauge may vary.
Stitch counts and rows must be closely followed for symmetry and fit.
The lace stitch is worked with chain spaces to create holes for threading the drawstring.
Magic rings are essential for creating the bear head and nose smoothly.
Ends are sealed with a lighter to prevent fraying—use caution here.
This is an intermediate-level project given the color changes, lace work, and multiple attachments.
