bearkidz® by Marion Fraile

All my bearkidz®-babies are one-of-a-kind (ooak), designed by me and crocheted without use of any pattern. I “work as I go” and “sculpt” my bears giving them their shape during the process of crocheting by adjusting and changing the number of stitches used. This is true for the bears and their clothing, which is almost always handmade by me.

Long hours are spent to finish a bear. I don't have a piece of fabric to work with but rather have to create my fabric with many, many tiny stitches, stitch by stitch.
Whenever I start crocheting  a new bearkidz® I start by selecting fibers/threads which I believe will make an interesting "fur". Very often I combine completely different colors to achieve the most unique coat. Sometimes a thread has tiny color dots or occasionally comes with a shiny metallic thread worked in .
