Knit Your Own - Rupert the Bear Jumper

I found a knitting pattern for Rupert the Bear jumpers.


My elder son got the Rupert the Bear annual every Christmas and he loved the stories.  I probably meant to knit this for him - needless to say, I never got round to doing so!


Still time, though as the pattern goes up to a 44 inch chest.


Wonder if he'd want one now (he's in his 20s)?!?!  Doubt it!


Love, Liz

Oh how lovely! I like the one with Bill as well. Rupert is perennial, isn't he?

Can you just imagine what your son would say if your presented him with a manly size Rupert Bear jumper?!!!!
I used to love Rupert Bear when I was child, and so did my daughter when she was little.
Memories!
Thanks for sharing Liz!

Go on! Knit him one....I just adapted my son's favourite Thomas The Tank Engine sweater pattern from when he was 4 to make him a new one and he's 33 now. He wears it too!

This is very sweet - perhaps if he has children of his own, someday, you can knit one then. What a wonderful gift that would be! xo Karen

You might be surprised. They act grown up but they're always little boys inside.

I would make him the sweater. My lot love their silly hats and sweaters still and they are all in their twenties. I think they realize the love and work in making them.
I have this pattern too. I must have got a Rupert the Bear annual when I was very small as I named the small bear my Nana made me Rupert. There is no other way I could have known about him in the hinterland of Canada.
