May I introduce Lars to you 

It is my first crochet bear I ever made. he is 4.3" small and I'm  curious about your opinions!
I attempt to do a crochet bear, but it was hard work    He is not jointed, because I didn't know how to do it.... but I will try another one soon which will be jointed then!

Hi Claudia,
he is lovely. I wouldn't have guessed he is your first crochet bear.
You can joint the head to the body with a small cotter pin and discs, the arms and legs are usually thread jointed in crochet bears. There are lots of patterns you can buy and those artists have a lot of great tips to share. Email me for sources or go to ebay and search for crochet bear patterns. We have also discussed crochet bears in the miniatures forum and there are yahoo groups just for crochet bears with lots of great artists, classes and free patterns.

Hi Sabine! 
Thanks a lot for your kind words about my first crochet bear and for your informations, where I can find help too!  :hug:
I'm first here since yesterday and I think it will take a while, until I've seen all discussion boards 

Thanks again and bear hugs!

Hello everybody 

@ Matilda : I'm glad you like my little crochet bear with his big ears    It's a good  prerequisite to have a hook and some wool    I'm looking forward to hear from your beginnings 

@ Mary : yes it really is my very first crochet bear!!!  Thanky for your kind words too!

Very nice bear! I like the ears a lot   Wish I could make them that small...takes a lot of patience!

HI JeannieB 

Well, yes, it takes a lot of patience, but that's what I need after working the whole day 
And I always have to try out, what I can do and what's impossible for me

whaou! Claudia, you did a charming wee crochetted bear!

I cannot decide what i like the most on that bear: the nose or the ears? they are just great!
And i love his nice scarf too!

Please, make more of them!

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

PS: i look froward to see them for real!
