Bear Wobblers by Cynthia Pilon Designs
$29.80
This cute set of well-fed bears are ready for a long winter’s nap. Like all the wobblers, push them down, and they wobble back up by using internal weights (provided here) for maximum fun with children! The wobblers are knit in the round from the bottom up. Before they are closed at the top, an internal weight is installed, and they are stuffed with fiberfill. The ears, nose and arms are knit from purl bumps on the surface of the wobbler. The wobbler is then felted in a washing machine, with the eyes and nose embroidered post-felting.
"I have found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but are unsure of their felting skills. There are many little tips that can help with felting that are too varied or random to include in every pattern. [The monthly] newsletter will answer direct questions and offer some tips that will help you achieve the outcome you want. Thanks!" --Cindy
Kit includes printed & pdf pattern, selected yarn, polyfill, washers for weights, embroidery floss to make 1 large & 1 small wobbler. For yarn winding services, click here.
