Vintage Knitting Pattern – Teddy Bear Cardigan

July 31, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

This beautiful pattern for an Aran style jacket with teddy bear motif is adorable. I love seeing vintage patterns re-surfacing. Some of these designs as such classics that you would not even imagine that they were indeed vintage styled patterns. They still have their place in the fashion world today. This pattern is a lovely cable, diamond and moss or seed stitch textures.

Sports weight or 5ply baby yarn and 3.00mm and 3.25mm knitting needles and cable needle required.

Age 6-12 and 12-18 months
To fit chest sizes 24.5 and 28 inches.

This vintage UK knitting pattern has been converted to a PDF.

    This is adorable! Unfortunately I don’t think (at least I can’t find it!) there’s a link to where to find the pattern?

Knit a Sweet Hood Covered with Flowers

I happen to live in the Northern Hemisphere, but I know we have a lot of Southern Hemisphere friends, too, who are heading into the cooler months as we are warming up. Whichever one of the seasons you’re in, you might want to  stitch up this sweet little hood.

This pattern by saskie&co is called snug hood and it uses two colors of yarn to make a close-fitting pixie style hood (almost a balaclava but it doesn’t cover your face, though there is a neck covering portion to keep you a little warmer). You can use the fingering weight wool and mohair held together that are called for in the pattern, or use a single strand of DK weight yarn.

The neck portion and the edging around the face are worked in ribbing in a single color, while the body of the hat includes an allover colorwork flower pattern. The project is worked both flat and in the round and there is colorwork that is knit flat, which means you’ll have to purl in colorwork (which some people don’t like; also, you can’t see what you’re doing as well on the back of the work).

The pattern comes in one size and the colorwork is charted. Testers noted this is a quick and easy project and a great way to learn some new skills (chart reading, working stranded colorwork flat) if you’ve never tried those things before. They noted the hood is cute, comfortable and warm, and a few said it didn’t take as much yarn as the pattern suggests, so bear that in mind if you’re trying to use stash.

Speaking of the pattern notes, check out all the cute color variations in the projects on Ravelry. From pink and red to blue and white to gray and cream, there are lots of great options to think about.

You can buy this pattern on Ravelry.
