Meet Kylie the Spring Bear. She is a fun, easy, and quick crochet project to work up. She has two different appliques for her dress - Easter Eggs or you can make a flower to put on her. Instructions for both as well as photo tutorials are in this PDF pattern.

Kylie the Spring Teddy would make an excellent birthday or baby shower gift as well as a gift to give anytime.

Notes:
Read through the entire pattern first.
All parts are done in continuous rounds except for Dress and Easter Egg Appliques and Flower Applique. DO NOT join while while making the Head, Body, Arms, Legs, Ears, Muzzle, and Nose. Use stitch markers to know where your first stitch in the round is.
Sl st does not count as a stitch throughout the pattern.
Ch 1 on the joined rounds of the dress does not count as a stitch. The first stitch goes into the same stitch as the Ch 1 does.
Ch 3 counts as a stitch where indicated.
Repeat stitches between * and *.
Alternative to MC - Ch 2; work number of SC specified in the 2nd chain from the hook.
I gave two options for the Applique. You can choose the flower or the Easter Eggs to add to the dress.

Shell - Work 5 DC in the same stitch.
