Jim: Question. What kind of bear is best?
Dwight: That’s a ridiculous question.
Jim: False. Black bear.
Dwight: That’s debatable. There are basically two schools of thought–
Jim: Fact. Bears eat beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
Dwight: Bears don’t… What is going on? What are you doing?!

 

May 19 – 23 was Bear Awareness Week and I completely missed it, but I have a plan to make up for it. I hereby declare this Crocheted Bear Awareness Week.

We will start with the common brown bear.

 

 

 

Because yesterday’s horse had so many pieces I was left with lots of longish brown scraps. I knotted them together and used them for today’s Little Teddy.

 

 

 

I made it halfway through the head before my scraps ran out and I had to start crocheting from the big ball.

 

 

It’s quite a nuisance to crochet around all those knots but I get a certain satisfaction from using the scraps. I used the too-small pieces for stuffing. This is a frugal brown bear.

 

 

 

Cheap and less threatening than your average bear.
