The yarn weight and gauge are not critical for this project. However, to knit both the bear and the clothing, better to use the yarn weight specified in the pattern.
It’s recommended to use smaller needles than usual to get a tighter gauge.

20 - 25 gr DK weight yarn ( 200-240 m/100gr ; 220-260 yds / 100g ). Fingering weight yarn held double may also be used.
