Teddy Bears' Picnic
Knitting Pattern: Adorable Bear Family and Blanket
Discover the joy of knitting with our adorable bear family project! This delightful pattern features all parts knitted flat and is designed to be sewn together at the end, ensuring that no circular knitting is required. It's perfect for those who prefer straightforward techniques while creating charming handmade toys.
This knitting project can be accomplished using DK (8-ply) yarn with similar needle sizes. Feel free to raid your yarn stash; we encourage creativity and resourcefulness! The family consists of Daddy and Mummy bears, each with a sitting height of 11 cm, along with a Baby bear standing at 7.5 cm. To complete your setup, knit a cozy blanket measuring 21 x 17 cm for the bears to snuggle with.

- [A] 20g 521 Puppy
- [B] 10g 522 Biscuit
- [C] 10g 520 Honey
- Dark brown yarn for added detail
Outfits & Blanket: Use oddments of 4-ply yarn for dressing your bear family, and don't forget the blanket for them to snuggle under! A lovely brown DK yarn works well for any additional designs you want to incorporate.
