Brynley Bear

Meet Brynley, the cuddly Brown Bear, who is destined to become a cherished addition to any child's teddy bear collection. Perfect for snuggling, Brynley’s adorable design and soft texture make him an ideal companion for kids of all ages.

This delightful bear is crafted using Caron Simply Soft Tweeds in the beautiful shade of Taupe, along with Caron Simply Soft in Bone. To bring Brynley to life, you’ll also need Stylecraft Special DK in Duck Egg, complemented by a small amount of black DK yarn for his cute nose and mouth.

** Please note that Caron Simply Soft Tweeds is currently unavailable for purchase through Love Knitting. As an alternative, I have included Caron Simply Soft in the shade Taupe in the materials section. This alternative is identical in shade and weight, though it does not feature the charming tweedy flecks.

Brynley is designed to be knitted FLAT using 3.5 mm needles, and the pieces are seamed at the back for a neat finish. This pattern involves some assembly, making it perfect for those who prefer working with flat pieces rather than in the round. If you're looking for a straightforward and enjoyable knitting project, this teddy bear pattern is just for you!

For embellishments, I recommend using 12mm safety eyes, and once completed, Brynley stands at an adorable height of 36cm (approximately 14 inches) and measures 15cm (about 6 inches) wide. His cuddly dimensions make him a delightful gift or a perfect addition to a nursery decor.

To successfully knit Brynley, you will need to be familiar with basic knitting techniques including simple increases, decreases, and colour changes. This pattern is suitable for beginners who are looking to enhance their knitting skills while creating something special. Get ready to enjoy a relaxing knitting experience and create your very own Brynley the Brown Bear!
