BEAR, LADYBUG & TURTLE BOTTLE COZIES

Knit Simple Holiday 2010 #32, 33 and 34
Design by Daniela Nii

A friendly teddy, worked in stockinette stitch pieces and sewn together, has stuffed legs and ears, store-bought eyes and nose, and an embroidered smile. The adorable insect is embellished with duplicate-stitch spots and I-cord antennae topped with little shaped balls. The turtle’s belly is knit in stockinette, but its shell is worked in a knit/purl checkerboard pattern.
