“A Mohair Teddy Bear in Crochet Pattern”

by Sue Pendleton of Bluebeary Treasures

Have you ever wanted to crochet a teddy bear from mohair yarn, but feel a little bit uneasy about working with fuzzy thread? It's easy to feel intimidated by mohair and eyelash yarn if you don't know the techniques that make it a lot easier. This pattern gives detailed, step by step instructions telling you how to crochet a bear from mohair or other fuzzy yarn using a size 5 crochet hook (1.9mm). The bear is 5.5 inches tall.

The pattern is clearly written, with a great deal of detail. It includes instructions for jointing all four limbs and the head with cotter pins and disks. For the less adventurous, I've also included detailed instructions on how to thread-joint the arms and legs.

You'll want to accessorize your beautiful bear, so you'll find that this pattern also includes instructions to crochet a cowboy hat and vest, a feminine hat, scarf, and handbag, and a sailor hat and bow tie. All the accessories are made with size 10 crochet thread and a size 7 hook (1.65mm). Color pictures are included of all the finished items.

The pattern has 20 pages of photos and instructions, including a list of abbreviations, internet sources of supply, and a crochet thread comparison chart.

This pattern is best for the intermediate crocheter.
