Mr. Bear
This bear is for little Jindra. It, or he, or she was a labour of love. I’m hoping that Jindra won’t want to take off and put on the lamb suit. I’m hoping he’ll just leave it on. Hiding the weird neck work I did.
Ugh. I just found this very helpful assembly post. Why didn’t I look for this before I butchered the neck. I ended up making a second gusset and attaching it to the neck opening.
I really like this book though – Debbie Bliss’ The Baby Knits Book. Really sweet and cozy things. And knitting with her cashmerino aran is really lovely.

Hello LM,
I wanted to revisit your BLOG nEWEdist website again as I think to show that the bear actually was in a suit and was two pieces would be a neet feature.
I would like to see it in another color than white as you know white does not stay white very long. – nitro blue or a raspberry pink. Had you considered using big buttons for the eyes?
I was also wondering the overall height and width as it was hard to tell from the photo’s although I can see a hand in the bottom photo just to get a feel of what size the beast was . My thoughts . LUV DAD
