Today I finished a little teddy I’ve named Albeart. (pronounced like French with a silent t) I knit him from cashmere finished with antique shoe button eyes and a silk ribbon. He was made up from an Iva Rose.com bought pattern, Weldon’s, No. 233. “Easy Toys to Make” which looks like it’s from the 1920’s. He was a pretty easy knit but the seaming was tedious. The bear is lined so no stuffing shows through. I slowly sewed on a piece of him here and there over the week. I used little wood cut outs stuffed in his feet for stability. I just love this little bear and hope my baby will too! I think he will stay on a shelf up high though till I know baby won’t try to chew off the eyes.
