This is for a teddy bear about 12.5 inches around at the tummy and about 16 inches tall. If your bear is a different size, you can make adjustments to the number of cast-on stitches, and/or length of the dress between neck and skirt.

My teddy bear dress used about 1.5 oz. of yarn. This is a good pattern for using up scrap yarn, so feel free to add some stripes of a different color if you like!

This is the first-ever pattern I’ve added to Ravelry, so please let me know if you find any errors, or if there are sections that aren’t clear enough.
