My daughter loves bears. She has 10 or 14 teddy bears in her room: white, brown, pink, blue. Every bear has a name, of course: Blueberry, Chocolate Bear, Pink Bear, Martin, Snowflake.... Her favorite is Martin, because she has is from she was a little baby.
Now I made a crochet bear. She called it Blueberry (another one!), because it's blue. I admit: I researched many patterns to learn how to make one, but for the moment I could find one to be perfect for me: not too big, not too small, not so difficult to make it. I began to learn how to crochet a bear by pieces: first a ball for the head, then the body like a pear, then the arms and legs. I'm not satisfied with the muzzle, but I'm learning.
I used single crochet (sc), back loop work, increase (inc) and decrease (dec).
R 5 – inc, 3 sc
Finish and leave a long tail to sew the ears.
After I finished to crochet the pieces, I sewed the eyes and the nose from black felt. The eyes are round and the nose is a triangle.
This is my bear. Or my daughter's Blueberry Bear. Sometimes I think it is ... like a mouse. Ha ha ha :). I don't know what it looks it to seem more like a mouse not like a bear, but ... I have to practice more.
A big one and a small one.
