TILDA and TOMMY-TED are cute little teddy bears who are easy to knit and dress. They love to go sailing. Their matching sweaters have appliqué sailing boats on the front. Tilda wears a skirt and Tommy-Ted wears short trousers.

TILDA and TOMMY-TED measure 40cm (16in) to the tips of their ears (size will vary slightly according to your choice of yarn and style of knitting).

TWO STRAIGHT NEEDLES - All knitting, apart from Tilda’s skirt, is done on a pair of 3.25mm needles (US size 3). For the skirt you will need size 4mm (US 4) needles.

YARN is double knitting (DK, USA - light worsted, Australia - 8 ply).

BASIC KNITTING SKILLS REQUIRED: Cast on, cast off (bind off), knit, purl, increase, decrease. The pattern is easy to follow with lots of coloured pictures to assist with every stage. All pattern rows are numbered.
