Notes

Gave him black ears as well because Paddington has ears. Cast on 16 stitches and did 20 rows in stocking stitch then decreased to round the ears. Folded over end to stiffen ears and sewed in place. Don’t like the eyes so still working out what to do there. Ordered official Paddington boots from Rainbow Designs as I couldn’t find any locally (the shops don’t sell wellies in summer).
