Bear With Beanie - Dot painting

Bear With Beanie dot painting for winter evenings

A bear in a knitted hat, as absurd and charming as it sounds. The stitch pattern on the beanie is a puzzle of its own, and the fur below keeps you busy for hours.

Knitted hat, thick fur, and a steady hand with markers. Dot painting suits a quiet evening and also a short spare moment.

What is in the dot painting kit

Everything you need comes in one box:

• Printed canvas: firm, with knit and fur clearly apart.
• Guide: a quick read before the first dot.
• Double-tip markers:
  • 1.0 mm tip: for the fur and the beanie.
  • 0.5 mm tip: for the stitches and the face.

A gift with a joke in it

Framed, it lands somewhere between decent artwork and running joke, which makes the best kind of present. The sealed box works just as well.

The stitches make a puzzle for one person and the fur a long task for another, so split the job or enjoy the hours alone. A dot art painting kit with everything included.

Knit against fur

Wool is regular, fur is not. Dot the beanie in neat rows and the bear at random, and both look convincing on the same canvas.

Closer dots in shadowed areas give the beanie real depth, and the knit looks almost wearable. A lovely frame-worthy gift.
