    The pattern is in the little book I use, but am sure ravelry would have something similar.
    I just whipped this up tonight for DS, anyone guess who he wants to dress up as for Comic Relief?

    DS was thinking about that too for World Book Day but he decided on his Houdini the Hamster book and made a hamster mask instead lol!
    I am not sure what you mean by cuff pattern, but maybe google replacing cuffs or something?

    Well my daughter saw this pattern and fell inlove so bought the book. Posted it to me and insisted I knitted this Bear-aclava for my Grandson Edward (Teddy) in ntime for their week away at Easter.

    The pattern called for Alpaca - very soft and gorgeous to knit with, but no real 'memory' and seems to knit up a bit on the big side.
    As the yarn was expensive, I used up the remainder by making some Teddy Mittens.
