Knit Bear Workshop with Mara

Join us in the toy department! Join us for 2 nights as Mara walks you through how to complete your very own Vera Bear.  Attach eyes and a mouth and watch your bear come to life!  This is an excellent foundation pattern to continue on with other seamed or seamless toys.

Notes about yarn from Ravelry listing

• The eventual size of your bear depends on the weight of the yarn you use.
• Aran-weight/Worsted yarn: 150 grams, or approx. 200 yards 
  • A Vera from this yarn weight will be about 17-18 inches tall.
    
• DK yarn: 100 grams or approx. 150 yards
• For future bears: You may also use heavier or lighter yarn for a bigger or smaller Vera. Heavier yarn requires more than 150 grams, lighter yarn requires less. Sock yarn the bear will be about 8 inches tall.
