Knits for Bears
This is an awesome book. It's great for teddy collectors, new knitters can try out one of these projects before making an adult sized item, or make a matching child sized sweater. Good instruction, lots of good pictures, well laid out. Makes you want to make everything!
Adorable!
This book is fantastic (and not just for teddies, there are plenty of dolls that could wear the fashions here, too)! The patterns are top notch -- really well-written and easy to follow -- the photos are adorable and the overall layout of the book is great. I recommend this book in particular for people with children in their lives...or just the young at heart!
A Fantastic Book!
This book is fabulous.....the instructions are clear and the clothing would work out well for 18" dolls as well. The book even contains simple charts so that you can enter your own dimensions and create the clothing for anything from tiny dolls/bears up to adult size too! I have just completed the nightgown and it is just beautiful! I have been knitting for about two years and do not consider myself an expert but was able to easily follow the instructions.
The projects go quickly and certainly bring a smile to everyone who has seen my bear in her PJ's!
The author/designer did a fantastic job with this book. I hope that she is working on the next installment.
