Crochet teddy bear

I decided to try a different kind of handmade than embroidery. I like crocheted toys, so I decided to crochet teddy bear.Since the decision to proceed with expired but a long time. In the past I never  crochet and schemas are a mystery to me. :-) I searched on the internet and on youtube I found instructions for bear, where the procedure is shown step by step. Author Sharon Ojala has videos on his blog there is also a detailed written instructions. So the combination of these two tutorial I understood the basics of crochet. :-) In its pages you will find many other tutorials :-)

















Whole excited, I let the video I examined what all I need. Hook a big needle I borrowed from my grandmother's sewing of wool and I drove the next day to galanterky.The first 2 min video I played maybe 10 times before I :-P pochpopila how to do it. When I crocheted teddy bear head, I began to wonder what teddy fill ... the best is polyester fill, but I admit that buying 250 grams filler I could not (I was not sure how my attempt goes). Then I got an idea - given that I am allergic to feathers, I just pillow filled with polyester filling. So what did I do? : P I eased off a bit from my pillow and all that was visible to him. :-)I filled header panels ... and I found out that the head is too loosely crocheted and filling shines. :-( I undid everything and started again.A second attempt but it went well. :-) I successfully has finished body, and I started to crochet hands, feet, nose and tail (all the directions). All this parts then sewed the little body. It remained to sew eyes and bow tie :-)This bear gets my grandmother's birthday.
