Meet our brand new Modern Teddy Bear. She’s cute, cuddly and totally adorable. This bear makes you want to hug it with short arms and legs, a fat tummy and wide ears.

This pattern supplies directions for making our ModernTeddy Bear. This teddy bear can be knit all in one colour of yarn, but the pattern also offers alternate directions for knitting contrasting coloured paws on the arms and legs. Supplemental patterns for designs knit on the tummy and head of the bear are offered for sale on this site.

If you’re new to knitting stuffed friends, or are uncomfortable winging it without strict guidelines (that’s OK, we all need good directions sometimes to help us out) you will need approximately 100 m of medium weight yarn (one colour or a mix if you’re going to knit the alternate coloured paws). With this yarn, use 4 mm (US size 6) needles. You will also need a small amount of yarn for embroidering the face, stuffing (we use ecofil or wool) and a tapestry needle to sew your bear together. This will let you create a bear that’s approximately 20 cm (8 inches) in length.

The beauty of knitting stuffed friends is that this pattern can be knit in any size yarn with accompanying needles. Generally we find using a size or two smaller needles than required by the yarn allows for the tightness needed when you’re stuffing your finished product.
