tm

Size is approximately 12” tall

For bear:

Aran (worsted) yarn, pink

Aran (worsted) yarn, beige

6mm (US 10) needles

2 black buttons for eyes

Black yarn

Stuffing

For scarf: DK (sport) tweed yarn in brown 4mm (US 6) needles

Bear is knitted in one piece from toe to toe, and then

folded up and sewn into shape before being stuffed and

features added. Use any colour combination for bear,

remembering to hold two strands together throughout.

Repeat for second leg, again ending on a purl row. Do NOT break yarn.

Knit across the leg just worked, and the leg from the stitch holder (16 stitches).

Belly & arms: Stocking stitch 12 rows

Cast on 10 stitches at the beginning of the next two rows using backward loop cast on. These form the arms, a total of 36 stitches (16 + 10 +10)

Stocking stitch 6 rows.

Cast off 10 stitches at the beginning of each of the next 2 rows, to finish the arms (16 stitches remaining)

Head: Stocking stitch 32 rows (creating front and back of head).

Arms & back: Cast on 10 stitches at the beginning of the next two rows using backward loop cast on. These form the arms, a total of 36 stitches (16 + 10 +10)

Stocking stitch 6 rows.

Cast off 10 stitches at the beginning of each of the next 2 rows, to finish the arms (16 stitches remaining)

Stocking stitch 12 rows.

Legs: Work first 8 stitches on needle and slip remaining 8 stitches to a stitch holder.

Work 16 rows for leg and cast off.

Place stitches from stitch holder back onto needles, re-join yarn and work 16 rows for leg. Cast off.

Making Up: Weave in all ends. Fold bear in half along the head section ensuring legs and arms line up neatly. Pin in place if desired. Starting at an inside leg roughly an inch from the end of the leg, begin seaming the bear, following round the outside to the top of the head. Secure yarn, and seam other side, again starting near the bottom of the leg and continuing to the top of the head, with an opening now left where the legs join the body.

Create ears by running stitches across the corner at each side of the head.

Stuff bear, filling head and arms first, and then legs and stomach.

Make neck by weaving a length of yarn in and out around the bear where the arms join. Pull tight, pushing more stuffing up into the head to firm before securing the yarn and tidying the ends. Finish stuffing the bear, and seam the opening shut.

Sew buttons on for eyes and embroider a nose and mouth. If giving to a child, embroider eyes rather than using buttons.

Scarf: Using 4mm (US 6) needles, cast on 10 stitches using brown DK yarn. Work brioche stitch as described below until scarf reaches desired length, bind off in pattern.

Brioche stitch: row 1: K row 2: *(yif, sl 1 purl-wise, k1)* row 3: *(yif, s1 1 purl-wise, k2tog)* repeat row 3 for pattern.

You could also use k1 p1 ribbing or other suitable stitch pattern, or substitute length of wide ribbon if not intended for a small child.

Leg: *With brown cast on 15 sts. First row: Increase in every st. (30 sts). Starting with a purl row, stockinette 7 rows. **

Next row: K 6, K 2 tog 4 times, K to end of row.

Next row: Knit across stitches on needle, knit across stitches on spare needle. You should now have both legs on the same needle and 48 stitches. Mark each end of this row with a piece of colored yarn.

Body: Starting with a purl row, stockinette 23 rows.

Decrease for neck: K 2 tog across row. (24 sts) Starting with a purl row, stockinette 3 rows.

Increase for head: Inc in every stitch. (48 sts)

Turn through and stuff through neck opening, do not close seam.

Sew the ears to the head, curving slightly.

Join head side pieces from tip of nose to chin. Insert head gusset, matching markers (these are approximate eye positions), stuff head, moulding as you go, stuffing nose firmly first. Leave neck edge open.

Sew the bead eyes to the head, sinking them in to the face by pulling the threads towards the back of the head and securing.

Join head to body around neck edge, adding more stuffing as you work. Tie a length of yarn around neck, pull up but not too tightly, fasten off.
