This pattern is easy and approachable, perfect for beginner knitters—if you can do simple increases and decreases, you’ll do just fine!

Doctor Bear’s head and body are knitted in a single piece with simple shaping.

His tunic and trousers are removable, and his hat is sewn in place.

All his clothes are knitted flat in single pieces from the top down and seamed.

For best results, check your yarn’s recommended needle size and use a needle one size smaller; this creates a close-textured stocking stitch that holds its shape beautifully when stuffed.
