Product Description

Product Description
This book is for teddy bear lovers and keen knitters alike of all ages. Knitting small toys is an absorbing and addictive hobby and homemade teddy's have a special charm all of their own. The Knitted Teddy Bear has patterns to knit 12 gorgeous, fully jointed teddy bears, ranging in height from 16 to just 4 inches. There are traditional style heirloom bears; for children there are bears with their own wardrobe of clothes; and tiny teds for the miniature bear enthusiast. Only basic knitting skills and materials are needed and many of the projects can be quickly knitted up from oddments of double knitting and 4-ply yarn. The instructions are easy to follow and there are clear diagrams showing how to sew up, thread joint, and create the perfect Bruin. A workshop and ideas section shows you how to use the basic patterns to create many other variations, including "Old," attic bears, character teddies and mascots.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly delightful book of knitted teddy patterns, 8 Jul 2008
By G. Buchanan "Classical Music Editor at classi... (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This book is quite delightful and the ah factor is very strong! The bears are traditional in style and quite small, using relatively fine needles (size 3.5 mm and down). A couple of the bears are made in worsted weight/DK yarn but most use fingering/four ply weights. There are well over a dozen different patterns, mainly in garter stitch and stocking stitch, for not only the bears but suitable clothing as well. The bears are sympathetically photographed with close-ups and full drawings of how to shape the bodies and attach arms and legs to body; some are even fully jointed.

The patterns are written for the American market but throughout the book suitable metric alternatives are given. There are many hints and tips throughout the book on personalising your bears and once you have it in your collection you are likely to pull it out many times. I already have two potential recipients on my list!

5.0 out of 5 stars everyone needs bears !, 5 Feb 2009
By Mrs. A. R. Slater "anaslater" (Colchester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sandra Polley's book is well written with bears of all sorts but particularly small or even tiny teds. The instructions are clear and the finished items as good as those photographed in the book. Just remember small bears are quick to knit but sewing them up isn't!
