crochet pattern, Chunky Benji The Bear

Create your own Chunky Benji the Bear with this adorable crochet pattern! 🐻✨

It was clear to me that Benji The Bear needed a Chunky brother, from the very first moment he was sitting on our living room couch. At first I though I will pick up a bulky yarn from my stash and crochet the original pattern just as is. But eventually it came out as a new pattern especially made for a chunky creature. The result is a soft and bulky bear that is not just a dream to hug but also a good freind for all loved hearts no meter what age or gender. Chunky Benji is a quick project that can make a great gift.
