This little bear


This little bear brooch will find himself all wrapped up and ready to be put in Alice's stocking this Christmas. I found the free pattern here on Ravelry and although I thought he didn't look very bear like at first he is growing on me. Maybe he is baby bear and the original one is Papa bear?


I am hoping that he might be pinned onto one of Alice's cotton bags that she uses and be a furry friend this winter. I think this pattern is very sweet and has endless possibilities. Maybe a big bear cushion?

I have enjoyed crocheting him up with the lovely fine Rowan Nordic Tweed that I bought when we went to Liberty last year. It has a real woodland look to it when hooked up.

How is your week going? Are you managing to squeeze in little Christmas makes here and there?

Take care and have a good week

See you all soon

  5. He is absolutely adorable and will be such a reminder of how much you love that gorgeous girl of yours. A talisman, perhaps of comfort, joy and companionship, a fellow traveler who is there to stay the course and reflect the unending love you have for her. (on, he is so sweet...i wonder if i could do this...must try because i want one of my own)
    Perfect.

  6. Oh he is gorgeous Penny. I absolutely love him and know my daughter would too. Might have to pop him on my list. No, I haven't been able to squeeze in any Christmas makes yet and just know it will be a huge rush (and stress) in the last few days before Christmas....Mel x

  7. He is very cute and has such a nice beary expression in his little black eyes. I love his dotty bow tie.

    No Christmas makes this week, but I have completed a list of what I shall be making. Does that count? :)

  17. Hello, long time no see.... I used to have you in my favourites, but quite a while ago something happened on my computer and I lost all my favourites. I noticed you today in the sidebar of someone's blog and now I'm following you properly so that I will never lose you again!
    The little bear is adorable.
