This is an easy knitting pattern for a dress and shoes for teddy. The dress skirt has a 4 row pattern. changing to garter stitch (every row knit) for the bodice. The shoes were inspired by some little bootees I made for my grandson a while ago.
The pattern fits my 15” Lil Cub build a bear well and should be ok for small bears if you work a few less rows. If you have a larger bear its easy enough to add a few more stitches and adjust the pattern.
A few notes on Tension: I used budget yarn for this pattern which is great for dolls and teddy clothes but it tends to be a bit thicker than other double knit. Check your tension and measure your bear to make sure the dress fits. The shoes should fit most Build a Bears.
The actual measurement of the dress is 8” from hem to shoulder and 16” around chest.
