Nordic Teddy Sweaters & Stocking Caps
About The Design:
These Nordic-style teddy sweaters and matching stocking caps are an adorable addition to my collection of teddy bear clothing – Sweatshirt Jacket, Aran Sweater with Matching Hat, and Dress with Shawl.
Sampled in widely available and loved heavy worsted (aran) weight yarns: Cascade Yarns Ecological Wool, Eco+, Plymouth Yarn Homestead, and Drops Nepal. These yarns knit easily at a worsted weight gauge, to create cohesive, long-lasting fabrics.
These little sweaters and caps make great traveling projects or evening knitting – the set can be made over the course of a few evenings. Your teddy bears, or the bears of loved ones, can be well-dressed this winter!
