Does anyone know where to get a good "anime" style bear pattern? Or a cute bear with a big head:). I've been hunting online but no luck.

I am trying to find one too as my daughter wants me to make one  for her.  I had no luck online either.

I don't know an online pattern, either, but I think it should be no problem to design a pattern yourself, if you want to give it a try.
You should consider that anime bears are about 3 heads high and have mostly big eyes, with short arms and legs; from there, it should be easy to make up a design on your own.

If it really doesn't work, I could send you a free pattern that was in one of the Teddy Bear journals we have here in Germany.

Hope I could help, Ariane

I found the jennylovesbenny site but those are not quite what I was looking for so I guess it is just design what I want.  Maybe I will come up with a whole new look. bear_grin

If you see a pattern you like the looks of but the head isn't quite big enough all you need to do is enlarge the head pieces until it's the size you want it!

Matty-McWeebundle-1sm-res.-72.jpgAfter lots of trial and error I finally came up with my version of an anime bear.  And I'm still tweaking it. 
The key, for me, is a four-part head..two side pieces, a gusset and a back.  I tried to incorporate the back into the side pieces, but I lost the shape.
This is one of my wanna-be anime bears.  bear_original

I too love Jennylovesbenny for amine bear patterns. I bought two of her bears and both turned out to be adorable.

Here are a few examples of Japanese style bears I have done in the past....they are all very unique in their own way. I dont think you can make a mistake on this style of bear...have fun with it!!

Good Luck to you!!

Bear hugs,

Kim
