Not Much of a Dent

The first thing I did after examining all the donated yarn was make a little teddy bear. I used to make these, and called them "Pocket Buddies". The Pattern is "Knitted Twin Bears: Bill and Ben" but I knit it in the round. There are a few issues with the pattern. It's not well written. If you need help, just holler.

I wasn't entirely sure of which part of the head was the nose and what part was the back. I believe I used the cast on as the back of the head

I'm not overly pleased with the ears. I think I did something different last time. 

 One detail that is rather vague is sewing up.  Because I did it in the round, I didn't have to worry about seaming the parts, but I had to figure out how the pieces go on. Looking at pictures on Ravelry, (and even my own previous versions), I couldn't tell exactly which end of the arm went on the shoulder. I opted for the skinny end.

I had intended to donate this guy to the Crocheted Blankets for Seniors group. They also collect knitted bears and dolls for Alzheimer's patients. However, he might be too small.
