Introducing
Bitzen Bear*
It took as long to seam his nineteen itty, bitty pieces together as it did to knit them all.
He was a fun little knit though. He's just 9 inches from top to toe.
I soft sculpted his face to give it a little more depth and character.
I'm very happy with my yarn choice, Bernat Alpaca -Natural Blends. It gives Bitzen a fuzzy, fulled look similar to the old style mohair bears. Using one 100g ball of each colour, "Tundra" and "Wheat", I have enough of the two yarns left to make him a buddy in the opposite colours.
*Bitzen was named, tongue in cheek, for the many "bits 'n' pieces" he required.

He's adorable!
I love the look of knitted toys but loathe putting them together. You did a great job!
I'm a big fan of knitted bears. Your Bitzen is a cute one!
Very cute, and his face does indeed haver a lot of character. But still, that's a lot of bitz. :-)
Oh my Gosh! He's adorable! You're right, he did put a smile on my face. Love his name, too. What did you use for his eyes?
I have this pattern. I'm going to have to make this for sure.
His eyes are just a couple of wooden beads I had on hand. I blackened them with a permanent marker. Not the best of choices as a gift for a one year old, but they are really sewn in tight.
He is absolutely precisous!
