quebecI'm very new to teddy making and had a question about putting the bear together. I started with thread crochet bears so I was thread jointing them. I just tried crocheting one with eyelash yarn, so he is bigger. I am happy with his out come, and I thread jointed him using thread. Although it worked, I'm afraid it's not sturdy enough to last long. ( specially in a house with 7 children 
) I read about cotter pins, lock nuts and a few other things. I am wondering what the best way to put them together is when they are crocheted bigger, and explain how to use these other ways? Thank you for the help 
Personally For YouI think I would be tempted to use the plastic safety joints in a crochet item. You can get black or white in the uk. They come in two parts, male and female and they just push together.
This can be a little difficult at times so I use my eyelet press.
quebecThank you
