Little Boy Blue

I made this for as a friend for my first Romeo Bear.

    About

    I love knitting bears and I think these two have been worth the effort although there was a lot of knitting and making up to do! I might do a few smaller projects next I think. I did duplicate stitch for the first time for the heart motif on the blue bears ear. It seemed to work ok.

    Pattern

    ROMEO Bear

    • Buttons
    Other : Wooden heart buttons as per the pattern really make a difference.
    I also used blue glass effect eyes which I liked.

      Wow, these two are beautiful and such beautiful knitting too. I really love the heart motif on the ear, such a special touch. I especially love their faces, gorgeous.

        Thanks Helen, the heart motif is in the pattern but I didn’t attempt it with my brown bear. It was actually quite easy, it’s always the thought of trying something new! I would recommend the Romeo pattern, I’m sure you’d make a great job of it!

      I just noticed the wee blue heart in his ear Dianne, I originally thought you were talking about on his sweater. How cute is that.😊😊😊

      Romeo looks amazing in blue Dianne and well done for doing his love heart it just gives him the edge on his big brother.

        Thank you Christine, I think I agree with you. I like his lighter snout too. The glass effect eyes are effective too.

      I love your Romeo as the Blue Bear too. I have knitted him in red and also put a small rattle in his ear. The teddy eyes give him more character too. I have the wool ready to knit my fourth !

        Thank you Rachel. I have just seen your red Romeo bear, he is fantastic, very festive! I hope I can resist doing a red one too! What colour are you going to do your fourth bear?

        Thank you Diane . I have already bought the king cole alpaca wool in the original colours so koala, camel and fawn for my first granddaughter. She is just 3 months so way down on my project list for her 1st birthday.

        Thank you Denise, I am pleased with the blue bear too. The cute wee jumper makes these bears I think. I’m looking forward to seeing your blue project!

      Ohh he was so worth the effort Dianne, you know I actually think I like wee boy blue the best as the blues stand out more. The wee glass eyes look lovely too. You must be so happy with both of them.😊😊😊

        Thank you Michelle, 😊I am happy with the way they both turned out. I gave the blue bear a lighter coloured snout which I think makes him look cute. It’s a lovely pattern but I think i’ll wait a while before trying a different colour way ! I suppose a girl bear could be done in pinks...
