5 Paddington Bear Patterns to Knit & Crochet

Paddington is nothing short of a national treasure! This little bear was first drawn by Michael Bond in 1958 and has grown to become one of the best-loved characters in the world, first through books, then the wonderful TV series lots of us grew up with and most recently in his blockbuster film series! If you want to bring Paddington home, crafting is a wonderful way to do it. Today we'd like to share some of our favourite projects to knit, crochet and papercraft with Paddington - including some fab free downloads.
