Seriously, are you tired of seeing these yet? LOL. You can get the pattern here; these are modified only in that I double knit them rather than working them flat and seaming.
[CENTER]Ok, this is George, bear #7.
And this is Harriet, bear #8.
Harriet’s head looks too big, but the flower is cute. :teehee: [/CENTER]
I actually do knit other things like this DNA Scarf which is presently about 1/3 completed. The pattern is here.

Aaw Cute. Thanks for sharing.
I looked at the pattern for the DNA Scarf. Complicated. The chart looks much easier. Which are you using? Needle size? Your’s looks great.
They’re very cute . . . is there a charity someplace you give them to? I missed it if you mentioned it.
Oh my gosh, you are so good at these now! I love them! So is double knitting them easier than any other way you’ve tried?
Those bears are so cute!! I especially love the little dress on Harriet. Beautiful scarf, too. What is the yarn?
Gertie - I’m using size 4 needles. Once I wrapped my brain around the pattern instructions it’s not hard to follow. It’s not mindless knitting by all means though. I am using the chart with all the / / - code and found the best way to speed up looking at the chart then looking at the legend for what the / /-s meant was to get out the colored pencils and shaded in one code in red on the chart and the corresponding instruction in the legend. I ran out of colors so rather than shading in the boxes I just drew around the box with different colors. I haven’t seen the DNA chart written out.
Deb - Yes they will be donated to The Mother Bear Project. I figure I’ll send 10 in at a time. 
Jan - Yes, to me double knitting is definitely the fastest and easiest next to dpns or two circulars (which I haven’t tried cause I don’t have 2 sets of the same size circs). I double knit them inside out which is even faster cause then I only have to move the yarn back and forth for the garter stitch. Obviously I still have to turn the work and twist the yarns though which is something that I wouldn’t have to do with dpns.
Slim - Thanks. The scarf yarn is Bernat Cashmere. The color is Ocean.
Your bears are so doggone cute! 
Harriet is stylin’ in her green dress–I love the little flower at the bottom. I 
George’s sweater–he looks ready for the ski slope!
Please let me know what you think of the difficulty level of the DNA scarf. I have seen the pattern elsewhere and wanted to make it for my sister who is studying to be a nurse (and still wants to be a doctor someday, I think). I’m a bit of a novice, though, so I was scared to start it.
Marni, i don’t get tired of them. They all have their own personalities!
Love the DNA scarf! I was thinking of doing the DNA sweater.

:yay: The bears are so cute, and love the scarf :happydance:
they look great. All of your bears have their own special look and personality so they never get boring to me. 
The DNA scarf is neat.
I’m big on bears, and I love yours, Marni.
The scarf is beautiful. Outstanding color!
Thanks for all the nice comments!
Erica - It’s not really that difficult, but it did take me a bit to figure out how to put the pattern together. It’s the first chart like that I’ve ever knitted from so it can be done!
Bambi - I love your DNA sweater; it is very cool.
They are so very very cute! I love seeing the knitted toys!
Thanks!!! You made my day!
Great idea!!
Saw this at the library. Sweet toys!
