Sitting Knitting – Brooklyn Tweed Humphrey Teddy Bear Knitting Kit

Description

Sitting Knitting – Brooklyn Tweed Humphrey Teddy Bear Knitting Kit is based around this beautiful Brooklyn Tweed pattern, with the required yarn and safety eyes.

From the pattern –

'This wise old bear has seen it all and is patient enough to see some more. Knit at a firm gauge, this old fashioned teddy is assembled with components that ensure small children's safety if their enthusiasm for him should become overly exuberant. Like every good bear, Humphrey is both large and limber, with articulated joints that let him assume even the least dignified poses. His handsome sweater, knitted in two colours, restores his sense of propriety and girds him for the next adventure'.

Humphrey is knitted in the round and from charts and uses a provisional cast on.
