Tiny Teddy Tree Trim

You will need some of the special Christmassy yarn (solid colour plus glitter)  that appears at this time of year.  It comes in red, blue, white, green and a few mixes of colours.  The teddy is knitted in two halves - back and front, and is knitted in garter stitch throughout.

You will also need a pair of Number 3 mm knitting needles, straight or circular.    Cast on 5 stitches for the first leg.  
First row, increase one stitch knitwise into every stitch. You will now have 10 stitches on the needle.

Step 1 The legs

Each leg is knitted separately.

With the 10 stitches that you have on your needle, knit 20 rows.    With these 20 rows on your needle break of the yarn, leave these stitches on the left hand needle  and cast on 5 stitches for the second leg.   

Second leg -  Increase one stitch knitwise into every stitch  (10 stitches) and knit 20 rows.

you don't have to use the tinselly yarn, any fine yarn will do .  If you wanted to knit a bigger teddy, just use larger sized needles, but they don't look as cute!
