Crochet bear Lilica (translate from portughese)
Original design by Suely Beggiato
Picture on the left is the original, and the right is the bear made by me .
It's not always like two designers to work together. I have this honor and I
am very happy.
I have worked hard to translate this tutorial. I do not even speak English or
Portuguese. So please be gentel .
Use a thicker, acrylic or cotton thread and the crochet nr. 4.5 mm
(european size) or H for US size.
This bear is big . His size is 60 cm or 23.62 inches.
We work circular, so we need stitchmarker.
We need 2 colors . I will call them A (white) and B (pink)
