Ta-daa.... Finallyyyy.... I'm so happy to have completed this 10 inch crochet bear, pattern and instruction adapted from Northern Summers's post..
I'm really amazed and extremely excited completing this project despite having to re-do some stitches from start due to my overly ambitious of not using a stopper.... :-p
Yeah, yeah... I lost count....
These are the un-assemble completed bear parts and before stuffing.
Ok, okay.. I know the images are not very good. Out of over-extreme excitement I took these images using my HTC Wildfire without flash and way late at night.
If let my photography 'sifu' see this, I think he will faint and give me that side-way glance...
Eeecks!... I'm feeling it already.
Before assembling all the bear parts, you would need to stuff and stitch flat the opening of arms and legs before attaching to the body follow by stuffing.
I actually crochet the bear halfway, attached the legs, put in the stuffings and continue to close the gaps.
The next image is the Bear's head. Same method, attached the ears to the side of the head before totally closing the gap.
The trick is to use the beginning point as a guideline for positioning the ear.
Once this is completed, stitch join the head to the body, and Yes! using the beginning point as positioning guide.
And wah-lah! This is how the assembled Bear looks like.
As for the eyes, nose and mouth, I embroidery it with black thread.
Mission accomplished....
Next project, I'm itching to do another tote bag for my friend, as a birthday gift and also a few other smaller stuff as party gifts....
