Freddy the Teddy Bear Children’s Jumper to fit from 6 months to 7 years old
3-button back opening
Knitted using double knitting wool
Pattern is written in English

Design:
The front of the sweater has a motif of a teddy bear in the snow, dressed in a Christmas jacket and hat. The front, back and sleeves are worked separately from the bottom-up and sewn together. Stitches are picked up to complete the neckline. The back has a 3-button opening to make it easier to fit the jumper over the child’s head. A chart is provided to complete the motif.

Sizes:
5 sizes included to fit child: 6-12 months, 1-2, 2-3, 4-5 and 6-7 years old.

Yarn:
The pattern uses double knitting wool (an alternative yarn for overseas knitters would be USA light worsted or Australian 8 ply).

Skill:
