You don’t need to go down to the woods for this Teddy Bear’s Picnic; this playtime set will delight your little ones. The grass play mat can also be turned into a storage basket by pulling on the drawstring cord around the edges.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toys are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). The picnic blanket incorporates stranded colour-work to make the gingham check pattern, and picking up stitches along an edge.
