Hi everybody,

let me introduce you to another bearkidz-baby: Liesel.

Liesel is one-of-a-kind, 15" tall, and completely crocheted from diffeent threads/yarns.

I designed and crocheted her outfit exclusively for her.

Hope you like her,

Marion

bear_original Hi Sarah,

thank you for the nice comment on my Liesel.

Yes, the bear is entirely crocheted, not a single part is mohair or any kind of other fabric. Face, paw pads, everything is crocheted. All I have when I start is a crochet hook and several different threads which I like to combine to achieve an interesting look of the "fur".

I don't ever use a pattern and work "as I go". I see how the threads that I am combining "turn out" and during my work I give the bear the shape by adding or combining/decreasing stitches.

I also like to dress my bears as they are mostly babies and toddlers. In general all their clothing is designed and made by me for each bear individually.

Huggies,
