After making Otto and using up all those scraps, it felt so good, that I decided to do another one. Plus I was waiting on some mohair for two other bears I was really feeling i needed to make to arrive. Plus I had started knitting some overalls, intended for Otto but when Otto came into being, it was clear he wasn't an overall guy, he was more a scarf sort of bloke.
Plus the name Linus had come to me at some random point and a within a few days, Linus was born.
It's funny to make a bear to fit a pair of overalls rather than the other way around, but this time this was the case.
His overalls are a bit big and baggy for him, but I think bear clothes should tend to be on the baggy side, except for vintage one piece Edwardian knitted swimsuits ( more on that at a later date)
And his overalls are removable for those times when he feels the need to be free and in the nuddy . As we all do.
happy Weekend. and thank god it's Friday :)

We love Linus! XXX
I am a sucker for an animal in overalls...and a hand knitted pair! Why I do believe he's perfect! So, what sort of bear is Linus, what are his favorite things? For some reason I can see him stacking blocks and building sandcastles. Perhaps someday he will grow up to be an architect?
Happy weekend dear!
Linus is divine and those overalls are just fabulous! You clever thing Jess :) Love that he likes romping around in the nuddy too. Yes, thank god it's friday and thank god it's a long weekend! Kx
Linus is Perfectly Adorable! and his overalls suit him just so! You are the Merlin of Bear Makers Jess! Weaving pure Magic into each dear little critter! ;D
Linus, you were always a bear destined for overalls...
omg jess i am dying of cuteness here!! Linus. Overalls. Im in love : )
Always good to have the nudie option. I know a little boy called Linus... and this bear is as cute as him - which is high praise indeed.
Jess, your bears have the dearest personalities. They look like such lovely friends. I loved Otto's soft blue scarf and now seeing Linus and his blue overalls - they are just perfect.
