The Winter Residents

Ten Winter Residents, newly arrived in Pebblewood. Each one is individually designed and hand-knitted in the Boyne Valley, Ireland, in an alpaca and wool blend, then given a name, a role in Pebblewood and a felted accessory made for that Resident alone.

Every Resident wears dungarees with wooden buttons, a matching satchel, and a hat with a bead and a long knitted tail ending in a small copper bell, finished with a patterned fabric patch. Each carries the needle-felted merino wool heart on the right paw, the signature of a Crafty Pebblers Resident.

Every name and every role belongs to one bear alone, and retires with them when they find a home. No Resident is ever repeated.

Inspired by Mary Jane's Tearoom knitting patterns.
