Hi everybody,
I've been searching high and low for a good pattern for an antique-style, humpback bear, like the old German ones. Preferably a big bear, at least 20 inches or so, with a large hump. Does anyone know of one, reasonably priced? The only one I've been able to find almost fit the bill, but didn't have a humpback...and cost over $20!! Surely there's got to be something out there, right?
Welcome to Teddy Talk, LitWit!
You can find patterns at the mohair suppliers, or on Etsy or eBay, but you need to be prepared to make changes to it, most likely. You can enlarge a pattern that you like, or you can round out the top of the back to create a hump.
Check out the used bear-making books on Amazon, too!
