I’m sorry. I’m new to forums so bare with me. Even after reading the how to things I can’t do anything, haha! Once I figure out how to delete the other post I will. But here is Amelia hopefully! Thanks!
I got this lovely pattern from a great book by Sandra Polley called the Knitted Teddy Bear. It is the Catherine Bear pattern. It isn’t challenging, just basic stockinette stitch with increases and decreases, it’s just rather large!
Aww, thanks! I’m pretty good at following patterns I guess. I taught myself how to do most things, so when it comes to stuff like “reading your stitches” I never really learned how to do that I guess.
I made several bears before her and hated sewing them up until i learned about the mattress stitch! It’s a magical stitch that gives you perfect seams and you don’t have to sew on the wrong sides and flip you just sew the right sides. Although for the body and the head I used a sewing machine because I thought hand sewing her there would mostly likely be too messy. The machine helped it look nice and neat.
