Hi! I,m a beginner, and there is a few thing I don`t understand in this pattern; in the body what is " Continue in St-St and work 9 rows." what is st st mean ?
And for the legs after the 3 rows what do we do
Thank you very much!
I love this pattern! It's so simple and it didn't take too long either which is awesome- especially for me- a beginner! ;)
Thank you for shareing your pattern,all knitted and as i am a beginner my Teddy will be called "Odd Ear" for obvious reasons ;)
Hi its me again. I have finnaly come round to knitting this teddy and have just completed my first out of 10!!! I am just abck from Egypt and I am knitting one for my friend when I get back. I have made a lot of modifications so that they are completly different for these two. Talk to you later
I have not kniited the teddies yet but I am looking forward too but I noticed a few typo's that might help a few people if you got round to fixing them. Looks a good pattern. Getting onto knitting it right now.
