After I started designing and crocheting miniature bears, soon there were requests for patterns, and in 2001 I published the first Basic Pattern. This pattern was followed by Basic Pattern 2 and 3 and several follow-up patterns. The 3 Basic patterns together make a complete mini-course for crocheting mini bears. Previously, the Basic patterns were sold separately. To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of ThReAdTeDs® I have brought all 3 basic patterns together in one booklet. Once you’ve mastered the basics with help of this mini-course, it will be easy to work with ThReAdTeDs® follow-up patterns. The patterns in this booklet can be crocheted with various sized threads and yarns with matching crochet hook. The thinner the yarn, the smaller the bear, the thicker the yarn, the larger the bear.

(Pattern Booklet is available in English, German and Dutch language.)

All three patterns were  written to teach the basics of making crochet bears. I have designed them so that all patterns are interchangeable with each other. Just think of all the possibilities!

Basic Pattern 1 is a beginner's pattern. Head with seperate muzzle. When completed with DMC pearl cotton, you will hold a 2" jointed mini bear in your hands.

Bears made with Basic Pattern 2 will have muzzles and heads that are a single piece.  Description for the Hat is included.

Basic Pattern 3 makes three Bear Head Pins.  This pattern, offers a pattern for a head with a separate muzzle, a head with muzzle already attached in one piece, and an open-mouth bear head.  It also includes a pattern for a ruffled collar.  The little bear heads crafted from this pattern make wonderful pins, but by using each head in combination with bodies described in Basic Pattern 1 and 2, the crocheter is able to produce a greater variety of crochet bears. 

The booklet comes with seperate sheet (unique for ThReAdTeDs® patterns) color step-by-step pictures (total 60 pictures) and I included the chapter "ThReAdTeDs FACES and FEATURES"  with extra information (such as how to attach eyes and how to adjust facial features so your bear has just the look you are searching for).

This auction is for ThReAdTeDs® Basic Pattern booklet with full color step-by-step illustrations!!

As with all ThReAdTeDs® patterns and kits, I am available to answer any questions you might have while working with the Original ThReAdTeDs® patterns.

HAPPY CROCHETING!
