Finnegan is entirely crocheted from a unique blend of different yarns.  No pattern was used to create this 12 inch (30.5cm) tall boy teddy bear. His nose is hand embroidered and then sealed giving it a shine. His eyes are quality German glass eyes. Subtle shading was applied by hand to enhance Finnegan’s features. He's dressed in a sailor outfit and plays with his little wooden boat.
