This is a fun modern outfit for a 12” teddy bear. Felix picked out the colors, hence the stripes on the sweater. It will look adorable in a solid color as well!

While this outfit was designed specifically for an 11.8” Moulin Roty Chemin de Loup Bear, it should fit most 12” bears. Adjustments may be required in arm and/or leg length, as well as the circumference of arms and/or legs. The pattern was designed so that arms and legs were not too tight, which might make putting on and taking off more difficult for a child.

The pullover is worked from the top down in rounds using magic loop on circular needles. Sleeve stitches are put on a holder while the body is completed. Then the sleeves are picked up and knit in the round using magic loop on circular needles or using DPNs.

The trousers are knit from the bottom up in the round. Each leg is knitted in the round separately, then both are joined onto circular needles and the body is knit in the round up to the waist. I chose thin elastic for the eyelet holes to make it easier for little hands that can’t tie drawstrings.

The scarf is knit flat in rows.
This pattern can also be used for a similar sized doll, with adjustments for length and circumferences. The short row shaping would likely not be needed for a doll.

It’s a great pattern for using scraps of worsted yarn, and though I used wool it definitely can be an acrylic yarn in the same weight.
