The Mother Bear Project is dedicated to providing comfort and hope to children affected by HIV/AIDS in emerging nations, by giving them a gift of love in the form of a hand-knit or crocheted bear. The simple gift of a hand-knit bear with a tag signed by the knitter has touched children with the message that they are unconditionally loved.
After checking out the website and looking at all the photos, I knew I wanted to make one of these these bears. To put a smile on a child's face with something that I enjoy doing is worth my time.
Bunny was my first and she is made out of I Love this Cotton!
Bonita and Benito are made out of Red Heart Kids and Paton. I redid Bonita's face to make it a little softer. I am using a Knit in the Round Mother Bear Project Pattern from Katmcab. Please check out the Mother Bear Project website. Are there any charities that you enjoy knitting or crocheting for?
