Chevron Stripe Knit Sweater Fits Jellycat 18cm Plush

A cream sweater with an orange chevron worked across the chest and matching stripes at the cuffs. A chevron is harder to knit than a straight band, because the decrease has to fall in the same place on every row or the point drifts sideways, this one holds its line. Among cute teddy bear sweaters the chevron is the most graphic shape that still reads properly at this scale. Wash it flat, never hang it while it is wet, and reshape it as it dries so the point stays centred.

Will it fit your plush?

Measure your friend from the top of the head to the bottom, sitting or standing as they normally do. This one is cut for a plush about 18cm tall. It is designed around Jellycat proportions and fits other plush of the same height just as well.

Getting it on

Pull it over the head first, then guide each arm through. The knit has enough give to pass over a wide head and spring back. Nothing here is tight enough to squash a soft plush, and nothing is loose enough to slide off.

Looking after it

Hand wash cool and never wring the knit. Press the water out between two towels, reshape it on a flat surface and let it dry there, hanging a knit while it is heavy with water is what stretches it out of shape.
