NOTE: “Bearnadette” is exclusive to the online version. The Simply Knitting version only contains “Bearnard”.

Sacre bleu! Isn’t this little Monsieur adorable? Based on a traditional teddy bear, he’s properly jointed so that he can sit, stand, wave and pose to your heart’s delight.
This cutie will be super quick to knit, so he’s great for last-minute gifts – who wouldn’t love their very own Bearnard? But beware, everyone will want one!
If you’re new to knitting toys, this is a great pattern to start with. It’s relatively small, with simple embroidery stitches, so you can get to grips with the basics. Remember to label each piece, so you know what belongs where when you come to the sewing up.
