Making a thread crochet miniature bear can be a very enjoyable and fun hobby. Remember how you loved to make clothes for your dolls and teddy bears when you learned to crochet as a kid? Many of us learned to crochet when we where kids and have crocheted ever since. Making little crocheted teddy bears can be just as much, if not more, enjoyable. There are bears in just about every shape and color you could ever imagine. These bears are jointed. They can move their heads and limbs and pose in many ways. They can be made out of any thread or very thin yarns.
I hope you will find this hobby fascinating enough to get you hooked!
There are many people now making thread crochet bears. I like sweet and classic bears, but I also like to experiment with different and crazy colors and shapes.
If you are a crafty person and you would like to make little things that will really get attention from friends and family, these tiny bears do just that! It will be lots of fun for you as well.

Art of Thread Crochet Bears
Includes 6 Patterns. $24.99 US. Available on Amazon.com. This book will introduce you to the art of miniature crocheted Teddy Bears from thread. This is a relatively new trend in bear making. These are miniature crocheted and fully jointed teddy bears made with lots of tiny crochet stitches using a variety of threads or thin yarns. Some of them show off the crochet stitches and the ones made from mohair or acrylic yarn can be brushed for a wonderful fuzzy look. These bears are not toys, they are wonderful works of art for teddy bears collectors. I have included in this book six patterns. They are my own creations. The first two are very easy: the bears have straight arms and legs. The next two have bent arms, and the last two are a little more complicated. Each of these patterns will add to your knowledge and enjoyment of the art of thread teddy bears. The instructions are easy to follow, each pattern has a diagram to assemble the bear and color photographs of the finished bear.

Teddy Bear Project, The
The teddy bear is thought to have originated in 1902, when a cartoon of President Theodore Roosevelt refusing to shoot a baby bear appeared in The Washington Post. Since then, it has become the familiar stuffed toy of every child, a collectible object, and a container of historical, emotional, and sentimental information. Over a period of many years, the Canadian art collector Ydessa Hendeles has bought, via Internet auction, photos in which teddy bears are featured: snapshots, studio and group portraits, and photos of events and sports contests. Often the teddy bear is only marginally visible; nevertheless, through them, these two luxurious volumes show--on more than 1500 typologically organized pages, most of them in color--a fascinating visual story of 20th-century life. The Teddy Bear Project offers an amusing, often thought-provoking cultural history of photography, in which the parallel course of idyllic and civil life is just as present as are atrocity, war, persecution, and expulsion.

Edith, what a beautiful site! My grandmother made mini-crochet items out of thread and I inherited the collection when she passed away. She made shawls, dolls, layette sets, and all sorts of tiny things. Your bears made me think of her today. Thank you. Posted November 08, 2006 |
