With this supplemental pattern you’ll be able to customize our Classic Bunny or Classic Teddy Bear with a knitted Butterfly in the body section. Always popular, this Butterfly pattern allows your friend to show their love to anyone who’s looking. Both little girls and boys love this design, who can resist a new friend with a butterfly fluttering on their tummy?

This pattern is a supplement to both our Classic Bunny and Classic Teddy Bear patterns. You must buy the Classic Bunny or Classic Teddy Bear pattern as well, as this pattern is just a variation given for the body section of these patterns.

For this supplemental pattern, you will need your base yarn and then a small amount of 2 different yarns for the cupcake. Yarn “A” is the yarn you are using for most of the bunny or bear. The wings of the butterfly are knit with wing yarn “W”, and the body of the butterfly is knit with body yarn “B”. (Feel free to substitute any colours you like for these colours.)

If you’re new to knitting stuffed friends, or are uncomfortable winging it without strict guidelines (that’s OK, sometimes we all need good directions to help us out) you will need approximately 85m of Medium weight yarn. You will need approximately 5m of each the wing yarn and body yarn. With this yarn, use 4mm (US size 6) needles. You will also need a small amount of yarn for embroidering the face, stuffing (we use ecofil or wool) and a tapestry needle to sew your bunny or bear together. This will let you create a bunny or bear that’s approximately 19cm (7.5 inches) in length.

The beauty of knitting stuffed friends is that this pattern can be knit in any size yarn with accompanying needles. Generally we find using a size or two smaller needles than required by the yarn allows for the tightness needed when you’re stuffing your finished product.

Keep in touch! We’d love to hear from you.
