A bear most familiar; a bear who loves honey and is as honey coloured as the yarn he’s knitted in.
And who wears a fetching bright red top.
Any guesses?
By the way this is modelled on the illustrator’s Ernest Shepard famous characterful bear and NOT from the famous cartoonist’s versions.
I wish to make that clear.

Knitting-wise
He’s knitted and shaped with short rows and pick up stitches - as are all of my patterns.
In this case you do knit the limbs separately and then sew on afterwards… but that’s not difficult or time consuming and it means that if you want a pose-able bear then adding wires is easier this way.
The red top pattern is also included.

I’ve listed the yarn I knitted him in within the pattern but you can adapt yarn choices to suit yourself - there is also a KIT available HERE

And if you’d like to knit hi sweet-piglety companion then that pattern is here - (

there’s also a kit for him too

).

I hope you love your bear as much as I love mine…
