This is a vest for Harry Bear, the wonderful pattern from Berroco (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/harry-bear). The pattern will make two sizes by changing yarn and needle size.

It is for either a large or small vest, to fit a 14” bear or 12“ bear respectively. It is worked in a single piece.

For the larger bear, I made Harry in Lopi yarn on size 11 needles and felted him; vest for this bear is knit with worsted on size 5 needles.

For the smaller bear, I made Harry in Lopi Lite yarn on size 9 needles and felted him. The vest for this bear is knit with the same pattern, but using sport weight yarn on size 4 needles.
