EDIT april 2020 : instructions for a new little pair of socks are available for Myrtil - a bit old school, with proper contrasting ribbing, heel and toes ! You will find them in addition to the pattern in a separate PDF file.

Meet Myrtil Bear, a tender little bear, knitted all in one piece, totally seamlessly from the tip of his nose to the end of his toe.

Being totally seamless, the process lets him progressively appear in your hands. Pretty soon, you will have attached his eyes and embroidered his mouth, and all the tenderness of Myrtil should be apparent, encouraging you to knit down to his little feet !

Instructions are written to be knitted by both magic loop and DPNs knitters. When it’s necessary, specific instructions are given for each technique to guide you through the steps of shaping.

Whatever your prefered technique, the most important is to be comfortable with knitting very small circumferences in the round. Otherwise, techniques used in Myrtil making are simple : knit, purl, increase, decrease.

The pattern includes instructions to knit Myrtil a little sweater and some socks.

Myrtil is knitted with 2 mm (US 0) needles using Viola Sock Yarn in Bronte colour (about 30 g used).
His sweater is knitted with 2,75 mm (US 2) and 2 mm (US 0) needles for the ribbing using a Viola Sock Mini in Storm Cloud colour
His socks are knitted with 2 mm (US 0) needles using a Viola Sock Mini in Bright Mustard colour (about 5 g required so you can consider using a tiny left over here).

With the yarn and needle size used for the sample shown, he’s about 29 cm (11,5 inches) tall, from the top of the head to the tip of the toes. If you use a thicker yarn, you will get a bigger bear.

Safety eyes : as shown here, 6 mm diameter dark brown eyes
