Who doesn’t love a cuddly bear? Inspired by the cosy vibes of bedtime and my love for creating things that make people smile, the Sleepy Bear Wash Cloth came to life. I wanted to design something functional yet charming, and a bear-themed wash cloth felt like the perfect fit.

The bear’s sweet, sleepy face is sure to bring a bit of joy to your bathroom or nursery. Whether you are making it for yourself, as a gift for new parents, or even for kids who could use a fun way to make bath time less of a chore, this wash cloth ticks all the boxes.

Multi-functional crochet sleepy bear wash cloths that allow you to wash, entertain and play with your baby.

The yarn I used for this wash cloth was Anchor Baby Pure Cotton Yarn (50g, length: 165m) which is a 100% unmercerised DK (light worsted) yarn which I combined with a with a 3.5mm hook (US size E). Anchor Baby Pure Cotton Yarn is available in 24 colours which range from a soft muted powdered colours or your more traditional pastel shades. Importantly it’s hypoallergenic and saliva resistant (love this) to be entirely safe for babies from a newborn upwards

The only other things you will need for this project are; some stitch markers, black embroidery thread and a tapestry needle
