Towards the Fall season, I like to sew miniature bears with hand-crocheted Santa hats. This bear is made of a faded olive green. He is approximately 2-1/4 inches tall. His paw pads are made of tan ultrasuede. His nose, mouth, and claws are embroidered from dark brown cotton thread. His eyes are made of miniature glossy black seed beads. His is fully-jointed. I've stuffed him with polyester and have sewn him with nylon invisible thread. He wears a Santa hat that I have crocheted from red tatting thread especially for him. There is a red-tone bell at the end of the hat. The white trim is made from white mohair thread. I have lightly stitched the hat to his head so it stays on. I've placed it above his ear, and yes, there is an ear under there. The hat was purposely made especially long so it serves as a scarf as well as a hat.
Below is a look at another bear with his own custom red hat.
The bear above is approximately 1-1/2 inches tall. Again, the hat is made to custom fit this bear. There's never a bear too small to wear a Santa hat.
