This is a sweater I designed for a friend's little boy.  I call it "Honey Bear," for reasons that are probably fairly obvious.

The main part of the body was made with two strands of lighter weight yarn, one a rust colored boucle, and another strand of a brown acrylic/wool blend.  The ribbing and cuffs were done with the single brown strand as well.  I used oddballs of red, gold and black wool/acrylic blends for the pockets (honey pots) and beehive on the back.  I used novelty buttons for the bees.  There's also a hood on the sweater, with bear ears attached.

The hat, which he's wearing in the top picture. is made from a brown cotton chenille yarn.  I added ears to it as well, plus embroidered eyes and a snout.  The mittens use the chenille yarn for the cuffs, then the same yarn as the sweater for the rest of the mittens.  I also knit and sewed on bear paw prints on the palm side of the mittens, but they didn't show up on the picture.
