Sweater:
Knit loosely, without tightening the loops.
Start with knitting the neck. Knit in turning rows, not forgetting to make 1 Ch at the end of the row. Knit only behind the back walls of the loops to get the effect of an “elastic band”.
Cast on 13 Ch. From the 2nd loop from the hook:
1-36. 12 Sc (36 rows)
Next, make 1 Ch and knit along the elastic band of the sweater: 1. 5 Sc, 3 Sc in one loop, 5 Sc, 3 Sc in one loop, 12 Sc, 3 Sc in one loop, 5 Sc, 3 Sc in one loop, 5 Sc (44)
2. 44 Sc Next, form the sleeves.
3. 5 Sc, 10 Ch, 10 Sc skip and in 11 knit: 14 Sc, 10 Ch, 10 Sc skip and in 11 knit: 5 Sc (44)
4. (10 Sc İnc)*4 rows (48)
5. (7 Sc+İnc)*6 rows (54)
6. 4 Sc, İnc, (8 Sc+İnc)*5 rows, 4 Sc (60)
7. (9 Sc+İnc)*6 rows (66)
8. 66 Sc
9. 66 Sc
10. 66 Sc
. At the end of the last row, do not make a lifting loop. We proceed to knitting the lower “elastic band”. We do not cut the thread, we continue knitting along the bottom edge also for the back wall of the loop. .We dial 5 Ch, in the opposite direction from the 2nd loop from the hook we knit 4 Sc. In the 1st loop of the sweater we make Sl-st, in the 2nd loop of the sweater we make we also do Sl-st, turn and knit 4 Sc. We make 1 Ch and knit in the opposite direction 4 Sc. And thus we knit the “elastic” to the end. We do not cut the thread at the end.
. We make 1 Ch and tie the side of the sweater Sc, immediately making three loops for buttons as we knit. We cut the thread.
We attach the thread to the opposite side of the sweater and make a Sc binding. We cut the thread. We hide all the ends. We sew on the buttons.
Let’s start with the sleeves.
We attach the thread to the outer corner of the armhole and
we knit:
1. 1 Sc in the same loop, 10 Sc along the upper edge, 1 Sc in the side loop, 10 Sc along the lower edge (22) We knit freely, without tightening the loops, We put a marker.
so that our arms can pass freely.
2. 22 Sc
3. 22 Sc
4. 22 Sc
5. 22 Sc Remove the marker.
Next, knit the sleeve cuff in the same way as the bottom of the sweater for the back wall of the loop.
Cast on 4 Ch, from the 2nd loop from the hook in the opposite direction knit 3 Sc, 2 Sl-st into the sleeve. Turn and continue in the same way to the end. Cut the thread, leaving a thread to sew the cuff. Sew and hide the end. Repeat the same with the second sleeve.
You can decorate the sweater with embroidery, for example, French knots. I wanted to embroider white hearts.
Bear Headband:
We will need two pieces of wire 30 cm long, fold each piece in half.
Let’s start with the Christmas trees:
1. 6 Sc in MR
2. 6 Sc
3. 6 İnc (12)
4. 12 Sc
5. 6 Dec for BLO (6)
6. 6 İnc (12)
7. (1 Sc+İnc)*6 rows (18)
8. 18 Sc Insert the wire into the Christmas tree. You can coat the tip with Moment glue and insert it into the tree so that the wire doesn’t wander back and forth.
9. (1 Sc+Dec)*6 rows for BLO (12)
10. 6 Dec (6) Close the knitting. Hide the tip.
Tie the Christmas tree for the remaining front half loops in rows 5 and 9:
(3 Ch+Sc). Hide the tips.
Knit the second Christmas tree in the same way.
Twist the wire by 1.5-2 cm and wrap this segment with brown yarn. Use Moment glue.
.Next, divide the wire to the sides, we will form a headband from it. Twist
the wire between two Christmas trees. Try it on the bear’s head, forming the shape of the headband. Cut off excess wire. Seal the ends with electrical tape. Next, proceed to tying the headband. You can simply wrap the headband with yarn. But I wanted to tie it.
.To do this, I dialed 6 Sc in MR and then knitted for myself to the desired length, or rather to the first Christmas tree. Having knitted, put it on the wire frame, dial 1 Ch, going around the Christmas tree, continue knitting Sc in a circle to the next Christmas tree. On the second Christmas tree, do the same, 1 Ch and going around it, continue knitting. We knit to the end of the wire frame and close the knitting. We hide the tip.
I decorated the top of the tree with white pompoms, gluing them with Moment glue.
