Lill-Klas & Stor-Klas

Susan, do you remember the wool cap I bought last year when we thrifted in Stockholm? I thought it might be a felted bag, but it turned out it wanted to be something else:

But then there were some pieces of that machine felted cap, so Lill-Klas wanted a pal. I made another bear, with a little bit taller and thiner body. I named him Stor-Klas (Big Klas):

Buttons - good softies eye
I got the idea to make these bears by a fellow bloger that recently made bears by an old sweater! Thanks for the inspiration!

I used black buttons as there eyes, from a little bag I thrifted once. Great eyes!

  1. Maybe you should potrait things that are outside of your home. I find it comforting to remember that there exsists a whole universe of activity which I am not an active participant in.

    these turned out SO cute! and you did such a great job using up every little bit of that cap. it’s nice that they have each other, too, isn’t it?
