Cable Jumper Bears

Knitting Pattern PDF

Finished size: Daddy 11cm when sitting, Baby 8cm

All components are knitted flat and sewn together at the end, eliminating the need for circular knitting. Once the body is constructed and assembled, the jumper pieces are wrapped around it, and their seams are stitched. While this technique makes it more difficult to remove the jumper, it facilitates the knitting process, making it simple and straightforward. This project features basic cable knitting, presenting an excellent opportunity for beginner knitters who have yet to try their hand at cable techniques.

Daddy bear features legs that are shaped with cotton swabs to create bent knees; however, feel free to skip this step if you prefer.
