Oatmeal jumper for a teddy bear. :) Not tested! I made one sweater and wrote down what I was doing as I did it, so please let me know if you find any errors! <3

One note: Where the pattern reads “cast off 3 sts at beginning on next two rows (37 sts left)” for the armhole shaping on the back piece, I could have been more clear! You need to go from 49 sts to 37 sts by casting off an equal number of stitches on each end; you could solve this by either casting off 3 stitches at beginning of next FOUR rows, or by casting off SIX stitches at beginning of next TWO rows. Luckily, bear sweaters are pretty forgiving and either method should work. As long as you end up with an equal number of cast off stitches at each end with 37 stitches left in the center part!
