For quite some time now I have wanted to make a little car with a teddy bear sitting comfortably inside. After several attempts I finally created something I am happy with.
This cute little bear with overalls and scarf is 7inches (18 cms) and is knitted in DK yarn on 3.25mm needles. The Car which is 15cms (6 inches) in length is knitted on 4mm. needles using two strands of DK yarn held and knitted together to give it a sturdy shape. If you don’t want to fiddle about with using the two strands of yarn, any chunky yarn (12ply) can be used.
All the pieces are knitted flat on two needles and pieces sewn together.
You can embellish the front of the car with buttons for headlights etc.
The little bear fits snuggly into the car…..
All ready for a test drive.
Of course once you have made one, they can become addictive. It would make an ideal first car toy for baby or a decorative piece for the nursery.
The pattern is a 21 page PDF document giving row by row instructions and plenty of images to help with construction and is available on Etsy and Ravelry
