I know I have these on my 'Mini projects to pass the time' in the stitching craft project forum....But...here are my knitted teddies...My nan gave me her pattern, so if anyone is interested in making their own, I can share! :)

The one of the right, is the one I did while following nan do hers! Then I got creative...I made my own IT nerd for uni, Im thinking about sewing a "have you tired turning it off and on again" sign for him to hold! Lol! And finally, theres Superman - teddy edition!

Here's the pattern my nan gave me! For Moss bear, I followed these instructions, but gave him short sleeves instead (6 rows) And I used 3 rows for the tie, to make this easier I did one for the neck, obviously white (for the shirt collar) with a few rows of black in the middle (for the knot of the tie), and then I sewn a small length of black (again 3 rows) for the actual tie underneath the "knot" of the tie! I make sure all the joins, especially for the tie is at the back to make it look neater!

Hope this helps! :)

Yeah...this may be a little too advanced for me! I can knit a scarf! :) Switching colours might prove too difficult.

Here's my ninja though in case you're interested! :) I didn't do the greatest job sewing the felt face on but you get the idea. It was my first time knitting anything that wasn't rectangular!
