Paddington Bear is LARGER than life, as I used Aran and chunky wool, not DK as the pattern. He's 66cm long/40cm seated.
I used new acrylic Aran for the bear, and new chunky premium
acrylic for the hat and duffle coat. The toggles are recycled from the Oxfam shop,
likewise the book. The “wellies” are knit with new 4ply yellow, used double, as
I couldn’t find the right shade of yellow in the chunky wool.
He's stuffed with Habico non-allergenic, washable, polyester
filling, which has BS numbers for fire safety and cleanliness, plus European
Standard EN71.
He’s now looking for a new home, as I love knitting soft toys,
but don’t have the room, or little people around, to enjoy him.
