Cute Knitted Teddy
I have finished another toy. This one is a Teddy Bear by The Twins Ala & Ela. This is the Faye Bear. He is a little cutie and this is the second time I have knitted him. This time in different colors and yarn than I used the last time. I used Knit Picks Shine Yarn. It is a sport weight. I find that my gauge comes out when I use this yarn in place of the DK weight so often required it many of my favorite designers patterns. Okay, I really love this yarn also because it is sooooooo soft. Of course I always wish for more colors available, just like in the comfy yarn, which I love to! Again like most of these patterns they are knit on straight needles and I knit them on DP in the round, to save on seaming. The ears were not knit in the round. This pattern offers two options for ears. I used the fancy ones and I think they are adorable. I did my nose a little different then the pattern and the eyes, I did use yarn, so this can be given to a little person. Oh I forgot to say I used size US 3 needles.
I also knit a sweater that is in the pattern. I found that getting it over his head was a little hard so I tore out the sweater and knit it with a little opening in the bag to make it easier, because I wanted to be able to put it on and take it off. You know I like my bear without his sweater. You should try this pattern if you like knitting toys. It goes together very easy and turns out so cute. You could knit with a heavier yarn to get a bigger bear. Mine measures 6.5", not including his ears. The pattern is only $5.00 at their website. It is one I will knit again, so well worth the cost. I am not affiliated with them and not paid to say this. I will report the truth about the patterns I knit, because I think it is great information to pass on and help fellow knitters. If you have any questions about what I have done, please feel welcome to email me.
