There is a tiny bit of colour changing required for the mouth, nose and eyes, but instructions on how to colour change are given in the pattern. If you prefer to use the Intarsia method, then check out my video on YouTube here. There are two pattern strip versions of the teddies to create the off-set look. There are also additional instructions if you want the teddies’ snouts and ears a different colour.
