Felted Teddy bear

[Sonny321]

I can't stop making these little felted critters. Here is another one

I used this pattern:

I used a k hook and made all the pieces and felted them first ( one time through the wash) then assembled the bear and ran it through the wash once more. This was such a simple pattern, and worked perfectly for felting. I will definately use this pattern again to make more.

 

Here it is, Pardon the strange shading on the darker blue, the colors are the same dye lot but some were a little more faded. One of the hazards of using thrift store yarn is that you sometimes have to work with little imperfections. It just adds character I think.

He's absolutely adorable. So cute.

That's adorable... very smart to felt before the assembly - I could just imagine if it felted 'unevenly' and he ended up with a shrunken head!

That is adorable, and what a clever idea to felt it.

So cute! I have a pattern for a teddy bear I've been meaning to do for my daughter, but I just haven't gotten around to it - hopefully mine turns out as nice as yours!

Hi

He is an adorable bear! Every once in a while I get an urge to make bears... lots of them! I want to be the old lady who has bears in her purse to give away to kids when they are just crying and tired and mom is in a shopping mood-- you know???

 

Meanwhile, I have lots of patterns on my site for bears, but here is one of my faves to make. He can be made in an evening.

Enjoy!

They are great to make for charity by the way.
