Finn Bear Fable Baby Mod

I’m thrilled to share the newest addition to the Fable Collection – Fable Babies! If you know and love the full-size Finn Bear crochet pattern from the series, this tiny version keeps that huggable bear goodness – now in a smaller package that’s perfect for quick market making, gifting, or cuddling.

HOW THIS MOD WORKS

This Baby Mod is meant to work with the original Finn Bear crochet pattern. In this post you’ll find exactly what you need for the baby size, including shaping tweaks, and size adjustments. The steps for assembly, finishing, and any unchanged parts can be found in the original pattern.

NOTE: The other animals in the Fable Collection require color changes, different ears, tails and accessories to modify them. (See details below.)

You can pick up a copy of the Finn Bear crochet pattern in my shop or on Etsy.

Or you can get the FULL head-to-toe, ad-free BABY Finn Bear pattern in my shop too!

ABOUT THE FULL FABLE BABY MOD

You can purchase a copy of the Fable Baby Mod pattern in my shop or on Etsy.

This mod pattern works alongside your original Fable Collection patterns. It contains only the baby-specific modifications and accessories, so you’ll need each original pattern to make the corresponding Fable Baby. It’s perfect for makers who already own some of the original Fable animals. This mod includes all of the Fable Collection animals and some of the extra mod patterns like Ellie Ostrich and the Mouse in the House. It also comes with a bassinet, blanket, bonnet and pixie hat!
