In memory of the crocheted care bear

Any kid of the '80s with a granny who liked to knit will remember these monstrosities creations: crocheted versions of your favourite toy that saved pennies and looked 'almost as good as the real thing'. Or at least that's what you were told, as you tearfully coveted your friends' mass-produced genuine articles...

Well, it seems this cruel art is alive and well in the noughties, as for just $2.27 you can deprive a child of its right to over-priced plushies and whip up your own unique approximations. And while you're at it, why not make a fetching new wardrobe for your fashion-conscious kid sister's Barbie doll?
