Teddy Bear Illusion Blanket and Cushion
Discover the enchanting world of illusion knitting with our charming illusion bear pattern, which captures a whimsical bear that only reveals itself when viewed at an angle. At a straight-on glance, you’ll see playful stripes and just a hint of a bear’s silhouette, creating a delightful surprise for anyone who encounters it on your blanket or cushion.
This detailed pattern includes two separate charts: one for the bear's head and another for the complete bear design. While the head appears consistent in both charts, subtle differences may be noticed in photos due to the stretching and curving of the knitted cushion, which can give the head a different appearance.
To accommodate your crafting style, we offer versions of the charts that you can easily print out or use on your tablet or smartphone. Perfect for knitters on the go!
The beautiful blanket featured in this pattern was knitted using DK yarn and measures a generous 81 cm x 96 cm (32” x 38”). If you prefer a different size, you can easily customize it by adding or subtracting rows and stitches around the bear design. Just keep in mind that if you choose to work with a different thickness of yarn, the overall dimensions will change.
The matching cushion, also crafted in DK yarn, measures a cozy 40 cm (16”) square, making it a perfect companion piece for your blanket.
What’s more, illusion knitting is exceptionally beginner-friendly as it primarily involves basic knit and purl stitches. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced knitter, this project will not only be enjoyable, but it will also add a magical touch to your home décor.
