This is an absolutely adorable book and a must for anyone wanting to knit a teddy. There's 18 patterns for bears of differing sizes and from the basic, with sew-on limbs and embroidered features, to the more complex with joints and button eyes.
I loved the sleepy bear, the black 'mourning bear' (these were given to survivors of the Titanic disaster apparently), the 'old bear' (similar to Steiff teddies) and the 1940s bear (with typical long body and short limbs of the era.)
With outfits to go with them, this is a really inspiring book!
