A Very Special Christmas Otta Bear

My favourite Otta Bear is this little guy that I made before Christmas. (True story - every Otta Bear I make is my favourite.) I wanted to create a special polar bear version, wearing a crazy Christmas sweater. Before I could finish it, a long-time friend reached out and asked if I had a bear to sell her. Since this friend LOVES a good Christmas sweater, this bear and her were a perfect match.

Bears, Bears and More Bears!

 I've been having a lot of fun making Otta Bears over the past several months. Here's a collection of pictures from the bears that I've made. 

The Otta Bear is a 19 cm (7.5 inch) tall bear, hand knit from 100% wool and stuffed with polyester fill. Accompanying the bear are two outfits, a dress and a pullover sweater with pants. The cost is $55 Canadian which includes standard shipping within Canada and the United States. 

Each Otta Bear is handmade with a unique expression and embellished with a heart. No two Otta Bears are the same. The accompanying outfits are also unique, one of a kind, creations. The size is both big enough for big hands to hold, and small enough for small hands to carry around. The bear and outfits are made entirely out of yarn, making it is safe for all ages as there are no small buttons or parts to come loose. 

Available Otta Bears can be found on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/JanetWelshKnits/, but these little guys are selling faster than I can post them. So if you are interested send me a message through the contact form on the right side of this page and we can discuss a custom order.
