This is a pattern to make two bears in jumpers.
All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required.

The jumpers are worked separately and are removable. They are made with two squares and are fairly easy to make if you know how to work with colours.
The crochet hook is to pick up stitches. It does not have to be precisely 3mm.
I have used 4-ply weight yarn; however, you can use DK (8-ply) yarn instead. I also used the same needle all the way through the project but if you are a loose knitter, use slightly smaller needles to work the ribbing of the jumpers.
