This bear was created as a custom gift for a Lebanese woman and Italian man who had a baby in Canada. This was a fun project to figure out how to best customize the bear and outfits to represent all three countries.
Welcome to Janet Welsh Knits, a website that contains information about where you can purchase patterns that I have designed and see some of the projects I have worked on during my spare time.

Taking a break from bears to get back into mittens.
I'm pleased to release a new design which came to life from the view from my desk window. As I look out over the neighbourhood, I see buildings and trees grouped in squares with a lovely park in the middle.
This pattern is suitable for an intermediate knitter with some experience working with charts and knitting in the round. Designer tips are provided for those who are new to stranded colourwork. The right and left-handed mittens are identical.
Instructions are written for a woman’s small hand with medium and large in brackets. Alternative charts are included for those who want a shorter mitten. Mittens pictured were knit with the instructions for size medium.
