Picking Up & Shaping the Ears | Barnaby Bear Knitting Tutorial

The ears are one of the trickiest parts of Barnaby Bear—but they don't have to be intimidating! In this tutorial, I show you how to pick up stitches for the ears and shape them so they come out looking properly bear-like (not too long or floppy). 🧸 In this tutorial: – How to pick up stitches from the marked point on the head – Matching stitch placement between the front and back of each ear – Using magic loop to knit the picked-up stitches – A simple trick for pulling a too-long ear into a nice rounded shape – A quick note on stuffing tips for the bigger pieces Every ear will do its own thing a little bit, and that's okay—it evens out as you go! This tutorial follows the Barnaby Bear Tinies & Littles knitting pattern. 🐻 Get the full Barnaby Bear pattern here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/45347434... ▶️ Watch the full Barnaby Bear Knitting Tutorial series:    • Barnaby Bear Knitting Tutorial   #knittingtutorial #beginnerknitting #knittingintheround #toyknitting #amigurumiknitting #handmade #fiberart #knittersofinstagram #slowmaking #learnknitting #barnabybear #knittingpattern
