Jerry "The Bear" Garcia

I'm not a "Dead Head" but I have a crochet friend who has a friend who is. This is going to get complicated...so I'll try to explain. When we cruise I usually join the crochet group on the ship. In February we had 8 sea days on a Hawaii cruise....and there I met a wonderful group of a dozen women. Every sea day we knitted or crocheted and talked and had a grand time. It was such a good time that we have stayed in touch with each other. On that trip I made this teddy bear blanket

....and one of the women, Lori,  said the teddy bears looked like Jerry "The Bear" Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Well, a couple of weeks ago, Lori wrote to me saying that her local bookstore owner was a "Dead Head" and she would love to make him a scarf with the bears on it...and she asked for the pattern. Unfortunately, I don't have a good pattern for the Bears because I have it memorized. I asked her what color she would like and I would make the scarf. Brown was chosen and 

I made the scarf (and a matching cap) and sent it to her yesterday. Teddy Bears rule!
