Cute Grumpy Bear Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

Cute Grumpy Bear Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

The Cute Grumpy Bear Finger Knit Blanket Pattern is a colorwork chart with step-by-step instructions for knitting a graphghan of Grumpy Bear, the blue teddy bear from Care Bears, the much-loved 80s cartoon by American Greetings. The design shows him standing on a fluffy white cloud against a pale blue sky, with his rain cloud tummy badge and a little coral heart. Despite his grumpy name, he looks sweet and cute here. You follow the chart loop by loop with your fingers to knit a soft blanket for a nursery or for kids who adore him.

With five colors and a 33 loop wide chart, the Cute Grumpy Bear Finger Knit Blanket Pattern keeps his face, paws and tummy badge clear and easy to follow. Knit in chunky, plush chenille, your blanket becomes a soft graphic afghan that little ones will want to cuddle every night.

Finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Cute Grumpy Bear Finger Knit Blanket Pattern is knitted in stockinette stitch, and you can follow the colorwork chart, the row-by-row written instructions, or the color blocks – whichever feels most comfortable for you.

What’s Inside the Cute Grumpy Bear Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

The Cute Grumpy Bear Finger Knit Blanket Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 loops, the chart divided into sections for easy printing, row-by-row written instructions, and color blocks that show every color change at a glance. Everything comes as one printable PDF. Skill level: Intermediate.

Directional arrows show which way to knit each row: → means left to right, ← means right to left, so the design never comes out mirrored. Always read each row from left to right and use the arrow only for knitting direction. The cast-on row is your foundation row and is not counted. Row 1 is knit from right to left, so if you prefer to start from the left, add one extra plain White row first. Before you start, check your gauge, as it shapes the finished size of your blanket.

Chart size: 33 loops x 75 rows.
Color palette used in this design (5 colors): Pale blue, White, Blue, Navy, and Coral.

Pattern language: English.

Skill level: Intermediate. Five colors and small details in the face and tummy badge.
