Comments

  1. I found the directions wanting when it came to how to assemble. I would like to see a picture of the back to see what the seaming looks like, along with more specific information about how to attach form and attach the various pieces to the body.

    I am still in the process of knitting all my pieces and even now am not convinced I will end up with a product that looks as good as yours because of the lack of information.

  2. Knits up quickly, but pattern doesn’t match the picture of the bear! The body is way too small for the head – it’s cute though and the head pattern makes a great head for a guinea pig, much to my daughter’s delight!!

  3. this is adorable. Anyone know a good(and easy!) pattern for an elephant?
    My little brother LOVES them.

  4. mine doesn’t look like yours 🙁
