Newborn Teddy Bear Hat Crochet Pattern

"A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside." - Winnie The Pooh

Earlier today I had no clue what to write about in this blogpost until I read that perfect little quote. As stuffed with fluff as Winnie is, I have to admit he can be quite the philosopher!

Babies can't help but fill our honey pots drop by drop with memories, silly smiles and lots of cuddly bear hugs.
