Little Bitty Bear and Bunny

Introducing the delightful Bitty Bear and Bitty Bunny—two charming knitted characters that require only a little bit of yarn! Perfect for using up those leftover bits from previous projects, these cuddly companions are a fantastic way to minimize waste while enjoying your knitting hobby. My grandchildren, Poppy and Rowan, have been having endless fun with these little friends, which are ideal for popping into your pocket or bag. They're handy to whip out at the first signs of tears or boredom! The Little Bitty Bear is designed to be knitted flat and assembled, with the legs and body crafted as a single piece for simplicity. Standing at a delightful height of 8 inches (20 cm) and measuring 5.5 inches (14 cm) when seated, this adorable bear is the perfect size for little hands.

As with all my knitting designs, the Bitty Bear is knitted flat and then skillfully assembled. To assist with the assembly process, I’ve included a detailed step-by-step assembly guide, complete with full-color photos, helpful hints, and useful tips to ensure a smooth crafting experience. For those new to knitting, an "Increase" stitch is simply defined as knitting into the same stitch twice, both the front and back. Safety eyes and noses are recommended only for children aged 3 and above, so be sure to adhere to safety guidelines when crafting for little ones. If you choose to embellish your Bitty Bear or Bitty Bunny with ribbons or other decorations, please secure them tightly to ensure they're safe during playtime.

This pattern is not only a great way to create fun toys for children but also makes for a thoughtful and personalized gift for birthdays, holidays, or any occasion. Dive into the world of knitting with this easy and rewarding project that combines creativity with practicality.
