Bring cosy Christmas charm to children’s makes with this sweet teddy bear in a Santa hat and winter sweater. The little face, paw pads, pom-pom hat and dangling ties give it a storybook feel, while the red, white, brown, grey and black palette keeps it clear and classic. It suits anyone stitching for little ones at Christmas, especially if you want something cute without looking flimsy or fussy.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design, it has a solid, filled look that shows up well on sweatshirts, quilted jackets, pyjama tops, dressing gowns and Christmas stockings. The knit-style sweater detail is what makes it stand out, giving plain fleece, sweatshirt jersey or stable cotton a warm, wintery finish. With five thread colours, it has enough contrast to define the bear’s expression and clothing neatly without becoming awkward to plan.
