Knitting these adorable bears for my West Coast g’babies Easter presents. Pattern is clearly written with detailed notes to help with finishing the bears faces.

Used mamaelyan mod’s for nose, only increasing to 27 stitches for a less prominent nose.

Asher’s teddy bear I used 100 % wool roving from Michael’s, Wilton #12 decorating tip, Wilton small cookie cutter heart, and a fine barbed needle for needle felting the eyes and heart shaped nose/mouth. Instructions from the designer can be found here. I am new to needle felting so the wool from the eyes came through the stuffing. No worries I can fix. Next bear insert a foam board before starting the needle felting. Remember a little wool roving goes a long way, start with a small amount. Used a cookie cutter to needle felt the letter A on the front of the vest. Finished teddy bear measures 14 inches from top of head to foot.
