01/10/2024 - making a bear to go with a robe/pj set I made as part of a December 18” doll MAL.

01/11/2024 - Just a note… The instructions are slightly different in the downloadable PDF than if you follow the link to the website/blog. Personally, I found the instructions on the website/blog easier than what’s detailed in the PDF, but either way, you end up with a crazy adorable stuffy!

Notes

1. I knit 18 rows for the body, then did p2tog across a row and then k2tog across a row to end with 4 stitches to pull my yarn tail through (20 rows total)
2. I knit 8 rows for the legs and 6 rows for the arms. On all 4 limbs, I k2tog before I pulled the yarn tails through the stitches.
3. If I knit this a 3rd time, I will heed my own advice from the 1st time I made it and knit the body in the round. Then just fiddle with embroidering the face on the tube.
4. I originally embroidered the face with tan floss, but I’m not loving it, so I picked it all out. Not sure yet if I will leave it without or redo it in black.
