The finished bear is approximately 25 inches (63 cm) tall.

The toy is knitted in the round and that is why the pattern is recommended for Advanced Beginner Knitters.

Materials needed

• 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for, to produce a firm fabric. İ used Needles US 6 (4 mm)
• 400 gr cream yarn for bear. I used Katia Peru ( 40% Wool, 40% Acrylic, 20% Alpaca; 100gr (3,5 oz) = 106m (115 yds) ). /Yarn weight - Chunky /
• A little bit blue yarn for nose
• Toy stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Stitch holder
• Black buttons for eyes (0,6 inches – 17 mm)

All rows are worked in the round, this helps avoid ugly seams.
