Brother Bear and those like him are quickly becoming favorites in our household. And this means hand knits, even if the recipient cannot fully appreciate them. This quick and easy sweater is knit in one piece with the collar and sleeve ribbing added after the main body is knit. Let this project be the perfect stash buster -- two sweaters can be made from one hank of Plymouth Outback -- and a quickie gift for all those in your life that love these little bears. And they can thank you, even if they can’t quite fully appreciate them either. But we can feel smug that a real sweater is knit in no time flat. It was knit so quickly I envisioned the next ones having cables or stripes or cables AND stripes… let your imagination run wild!
