Navy Fair Isle Knit Fits Jellycat 18cm Plush

A navy and cream Fair Isle sweater, the pattern banded across the chest and repeated narrower at the hem. Fair Isle is real colourwork, two yarns carried together so the colour changes within the stitch rather than sitting on top of it, and it is the hardest technique to work cleanly at this size because the floats behind have to stay short or the knit stops stretching. A teddy bear sweater christmas gift that lasts past December wants navy rather than red, which is exactly why this one is cut that way. Wash it flat and reshape it damp.

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

Each piece goes on separately and can be worn alone or mixed with the rest of the wardrobe. 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.

Made by A Flying Wish

This is made in our own workshop rather than bought in. That is why the sizing is written as a measurement you can check against the friend you already own. Small enough to keep in a bag, sturdy enough to be worn every day.
