WOW! winter has been long here. I been thinking of designing another hat..but then I decided I needed something to cheer me up with all this cold and raining weather :/ Between baking and designing, these little guys made me smile.I am in the proscess of making a hat, but until its complete and ready to go I will share this. Here is a amigurumi to make you smile and keep your hands busy. I would say this is one of my favorite I made so far. I made as a suprise for someone special. I made a rabbit and a bear. The rabbit my sister and Bear I will name Burak the bear ;) You can make these little guys as personal as you like. Make them of someone you like or you! have fun with it. Change the color of the suit or hair and the details you use.

Fingering weight yarn; in bright colors I used Blue and yellow for the suite and cream for the body and black for the hair and light brown.
5 or 6 mm black beads for eyes you will need 2 per ami :D
