Peggy The Pioneer Bear is a beautiful old style teddy bear in a lovely pioneer outfit. She is 32cm or 12.5 inches when standing. Her clothes are separate so she can be dressed or undressed. Peggy is a beautiful teddy to treasure for young and old alike.

Peggy The Pioneer Bear is completely knitted, but there are decorative crocheted edges on her dress, bonnet, and apron. She is completely jointed with teddy bear cotter pin joints - her head, arms, and legs are moveable. There is a tutorial provided if you decide to use these joints, but they are optional. You can just sew the head, arms, and legs on as usual.
