Notice even more changes in this little bear? Yet another tooth fell out, and she decided that she would like to take a break from brushing out tangles for a while and asked to get her hair bobbed.
To complement her new look, we put together these cozy winter hood and mittens from Oliver + S‘s new book, Little Things To Sew. Both the hat and mittens are made from an upcycled, felted cashmere sweater that was donated by Daddy after a moth got into his closet. I left the ears a little wonky, though the pattern calls for them to be tacked down, because we liked the way it gave the Bear some serious personality.
Currently, Mira is running around the apartment and will take neither hat or mittens off. She’s growling and skipping and flashing that newly super-fabulous smile.
