As I have two little girls at home then my created amigurumi creatures are also usually girls. This time I decided to make knowingly a boy-bear. I had in mind for him removable blue pants with suspenders and pocket. This was also my first attempt to make moving limbs for an amigurumi animal. I did not sew the legs to the body but attached them with safety eyes. The bear can be put to sitting position but he does not sit completely independently. The bear would sit on his own if the legs were a little longer and not that chubby. But I think the chubby legs make him extra cute.

Kuna mul on väiksed tüdrukud kodus kasvamas, siis on minu tehtud amigurumi loomad üldiselt ka ikka tüdrukud. Seekord võtsin teadlikult ette poiss-karu tegemise. Mul oligi kohe mõttes teha talle sinised taskuga traksipüksid, mida saab ka jalast ära võtta. Samuti oli see mu esimene katsetus teha amigurumi loomale liikuvad jalad, mida saaks ka istuvasse asendisse sättida. Karu jalad ei ole mitte külge õmmeldud, vaid kasutasin ühendamiseks mänguasjade turvasilmi. Karuke päris iseseisvalt ei istu, kuid kui jalad oleks natuke pikemad ja ta ei oleks selline päntajalg, siis istuks ka ise. Aga need päntajalad, mis seistes hoiavad natuke varbad sissepoole, teevad ka ta minu arvates eriti armsaks.
I did not make the bear someone specific in mind. I decided to keep it as a potential baby shower gift if some of my friends would have a baby boy. But it is already snowy outside and the Christmas feeling is in my soul already so I decided to give the bear for a charity project held here in Estonia instead. With this project each year people are collecting gifts for children who have to spend Christmas in the hospital. This year they also hoped to get handmade toys for kids. I think my bear fits the criteria perfectly and I hope he will be a dear friend for a great kid.

Ma ei teinud seda karu kellelegi konkreetsele mõeldes. Algselt oli mõte, et teen selle karu valmis ja jätan ootama, kuna see sobiks hästi poisi sünni puhul katsikukingiks, kui mõnel sõbral peaks poiss sündima. Läks siiski teisiti. Sattusin juhuslikult peale üleskutsele, teha jõulude puhul väike heategu. Otsustasingi selle karuga osaleda heategevusprojektis, mida korraldab Naerata Ometi MTÜ. Selle projektiga kogutakse kinke lastele, kes peavad jõuluõhtu haiglas veetma. Sel aastal kutsuti üles ka saatma lastele isevalmistatud kinke. Ma usun, et minu karuke vastab sellele kriteeriumile ideaalselt ning loodan, et minu tehtud karuke saab suureks kaisusõbraks ühele toredale lapsele.
I can't see the actual pattern or link.
