Knitted, Felted, Jointed Teddy Bear |
|
 Larger Image |
For the first critter in our line of
Bear Brain knitted
designs, we wanted to create a bear with personality and definition who just happened to be knitted. He (or she) is knitted with Kid-n-ewe worsted weight yarn and will be 10-12 inches tall after felting. The damp felt allows you to mold the paws and face into a variety of poses and expressions. Finishing touches of soft sculpting and embroidery give our bear his true personality. Back to: BBE Pattern Index | Home |

Knitted, Felted, Jointed Rabbit |
|
|
This knitted, felted, jointed bunny
has personality plus
with his long floppy ears and big oversized feet. He is knitted with Kid-n-ewe worsted weight yarn, which felts extremely well. After felting, the bunny will be 10-12 inches tall, not counting his ears. Knitting and felting are easy and fun to do. The flexibility of the damp felt enables you to mold your rabbit into a variety of positions. He has a big pom pom for a tail and an embroidered nose and mouth. What a cutie!

Whidbey, The Knitted Bear |
|
|
Whidbey is the most “bearable” of
our critters. He is
knitted with Berroco Chinchilla worsted weight yarn. This pattern is great for experimenting with other textured yarns to achieve different fuzzy looks. Whidbey will be 10-12 inches tall when finished. His paws are jointed and he has a big felt nose. A bit of soft sculpting and embroidery add to Whidbey’s charm. Back to: BBE Pattern Index | Home |

Rhodie, The Knitted Rabbit |
|
|
Rhodie the Rabbit (Whidbey bear's
best buddy) is
knitted with Berroco Chinchilla worsted weight yarn. We recommend experimenting with some of the textured yarns available to give your bunny a fuzzy look. Rhodie is 10-12 inches tall (not including his ears). His paws are jointed, and he has a big pom pom tail. Soft sculpting and embroidery give Rhodie his playful expression.

Casey, The Knitted Cat |
|
|
Casey is knitted in intarsia with
Kid-n-ewe worsted
weight yarn. He is always ready to party, since he’s wearing his fuzzy tux. When finished, he will be 10-12 inches tall. His paws are jointed and his tail is wired for posing. Soft sculpting and embroidery are used to define facial features and add realism. Back to: BBE Pattern Index | Home |

Julius, the Knitted Tabby Cat |
|
|
Julius is our second cat pattern,
and was designed based on
one of our favorite “real” furry felines. He is knitted in intarsia with Kid-n-ewe worsted weight yarn. When finished, he will be 10-12 inches tall. His paws are jointed and his tail is wired for posing. Soft sculpting and embroidery are used to define the facial features. Back to: BBE Pattern Index | Home |

"Catnip Dreams" - Knitted, Felted Kitty Toys |
|
|
For those of us who are cat lovers,
this is a great way to
use up odds and ends of wool yarn. These toys are quick and easy to knit. This pattern contains five knitted, felted cat toys: a mouse, a large ball, a small ball, a "squiggle" and a fish. Put the finished toys in a nylon stocking, then into a bag full of catnip and leave them to "charge up" overnight. This works GREAT and all our fuzzy friends go "bonkers" over them!

Beezley Bear and Sweater |
|
|
Beezley is a chubby fellow that
is knitted and felted.
Mini Beezley measures 6" and large Beezley measures 8" after felting and assembling. His cardigan sweater is knitted in one piece from the top down. You can also just knit Beezley if you are not keen on felting. We recommend using a fingering weight yarn for mini Beezley and a worsted weight yarn for the larger bear. If you'd like to be adventurous and try a textured yarn, Berroco Chinchilla or Katia Harmony are among the yarns that we have test knitted for Beezley. Back to: BBE Pattern Index | Home |

Little Friend's Cuddler Patterns
|
|
 |
 |
|
"Stitched With Love"
As seen in Family Circle Easy Knitting Fall 2000 2 cuddler blanket patterns - one for a boy and one for a girl. |
|
|
Both blanket patterns feature
5 different boy or girl face designs with an
assortment of embellishment techniques. Log cabin squares are interspersed with each face design. Washable worsted weight yarns were used to knit each blanket. Both of these projects are a great way to use up scraps of yarn from your stash. We encourage you to experiment with your own yarns and color combinations. The directions are clearly written with thorough knitting instructions for all squares, embellishments, illustrations for embroidering and crocheting the finishing touches and assembling all pieces.

Best Friend Bear and Sweater |
|
|
These two bear buddies are the best
of friends and
ready to go adventuring at anytime! The bears are knitted flat from head to toe, all in one piece, except for the arms. When finished, they will measure about 15” tall. The sweaters are knitted in one piece from the neck down. The star version features garter ridges, diagonal seed stitch, and a duplicate stitch star. The striped version has rolled cuffs and hem. We used worsted weight yarns in both wool and acrylic. |

Bear Pillow, Crib Blanket, or Afghan
|
|
|
This pattern contains 3 fun projects
in one. Continuing with
our critter motif, this is the first in a series of patterns that combine knitting, crocheting, embroidery, and applique to make a “3D” pillow, blanket, or afghan. The picture shows a finished pillow front containing a polar bear, brown bear, panda bear, and paw print square. We used washable-worsted weight yarns in our example. Each 8-inch bear square is knitted in intarsia. All other facial features and accessories are knitted, then appliqued or embroidered onto the bear squares. |

Basic Sweater |

This pattern is an easy to knit long-sleeved sweater. |

Garter Stitch Hat & Scarf |
|
|
You will find this is a “beary” quick
and easy pattern
to knit. The hat and scarf were knitted using Kid-n-ewe worsted weight yarn. The hat has holes knitted into it to allow for the critters ears to poke through. We added in a matching color mohair yarn when knitting the hat brim to add a more “fuzzy” appeal. Back to: BBE Pattern Index | Home |

BBEC03
Basic Vest |
|
|
Yet another easy clothing pattern
to knit for your favorite
critter. This 2- button vest was knitted using Froehlich Die tolle Wolle, a variegated worsted weight yarn. You may want to experiment with a solid color vest, then crochet a narrow border around it using a complimentary color. Time to use your fuzzy imagination! Back to: BBE Pattern Index | Home |
