About
Teeny Tiny Knitted Bear
I love to create stuff, I like to use different mediums, I get really impatient with complicated patterns and long projects... solution: find a pattern and change it until it's unrecognisable! So there you have it, this goofy fellow is the 4th tiny bear that I've attempted, so without further ado (drum roll), meet (more drum rolls)... THE KNITTED NUTTER!
Knitted Nutter Pattern
Right, here it is. The whole thing was made up on the spot so be prepared for some improvisation on your side where my instructions are a little vague. I've not used anything fancy at all and the wool was whatever I had on hand with the thinnest needles I had.

Step 8
PUTTING IT TOGETHER:
Sew 2 sides together (with nicer side facing in) leaving gap at top of head for stuffing. If the head needs to be rounder, just stitch into it until you have the shape you want.Stitch on a piece of felt to the face area to assist with sewing on the facial features.
Turn right way around, stuff and sew closed.
Sew, stuff and close the ears (fold the long strip in half to make the ear) and stitch those on where they look the cutest. These can also obviously be more traditional bear shaped ears but I got tired of those.
Cut out white felt circles and smaller black felt circles for the eyes, stitch those together and then onto the face.
Cut out a mouth shape and sew the knitted tongue on, first facing it up (to hide the stitches) and then turning it down and sewing it flat.
That's it. Hope it is okay, first attempt at writing a pattern.
