The Babybearsweater is a cute sweater knitted seamlessly top down. Obviously, the special feature of this sweater is the bear that is worked with the intarsia technique. It also has a lot of cute details like the double knitted button band at the left shoulder, the knitted ears and the face embroidery that complete the little bear. In contrast to the very playful body the sleeves are rather simple, knitted with decreases towards the hem. To knit this tiny little sweater is worked with some different techniques just like intarsia in the round, german short rows, double knitting, Italian bind-off and a little embroidery.
