Hello…

I doubled up with yarns - as I most often do, this time choosing Drops Sky with Kid-silk for a fluffy furry texture.

This little fellow is knitted almost in one piece - bar the ears and nose which are joined on at the end.

I’ve used toy eyes which can be found widely on the web and a heavy weight un-carded stuffing which I bought from a site that sells bear-making tools & materials (you can get it on eBay too).

The BIG PLUS here though - is that I’ve added a link within the pattern for a making up video-guide - it’s quite long but you can duck in and dive out as and when you need to.

AND - another new thing for me - there’s a coloured-marker guide included which I wholly recommend you adhere too - you’ll find it a revelation!

Enjoy knitting this/ these, they are so fun to knit and to photograph afterwards - if that’s your thing
