There are many teddy bears out there.
As a designer, I wanted my own version. A bear that was knit in the round with minimal seaming, one that I could create little outfits for, and one that had a face to melt hearts.

This is My Little Bear! =)

~~~~~~~

•In this listing: Instructions are included for both the My Little Bear and his Going Fishin’ Outfit. You will receive 2 separate PDF downloads.

•The bear is also available on his own, with no clothing. Or, there are other ebooks & listings available that include more/different clothing.

The pattern is recommended for intermediate level knitters who are comfortable working in the round.

Most parts of the bear, as well as his clothing, are knit in the round. The ears, tail & top portion of his pants are knit flat.

The bear is constructed using Aran/medium weight yarn and US 5 (3.75mm) DPNs. It measures 9” tall standing and 6.5” sitting.

The clothing is constructed with medium weight yarn and both US 5 DPNS & straight needles.

The bear PDF is 9 pages long, the clothing PDF is 8 pages long. Both include photos to assist you.
