The Teddy Bear Purse is an adorable, little fluffy pouch that is perfect for carrying small treasures! This satchel is suitable to gift a young child, who will surely enjoy the whimsical look of a bag shaped like an animal. It uses a combination of faux fur yarn (Lion Brand Go for Faux) and medium weight yarn. This one skein project works up quickly and can be easily adjusted to make different animal ears (such as cat, dog, or bunny rabbit). The length of the straps can also easily be made longer or shorter. Crochet this cute bag as a birthday, Christmas, or holiday gift today!
