This pattern can be used to knit a plain teddy bear or one that’s covered in stripes. When worked in DK weight yarn the bear is 30cm tall but the size could be altered by using thinner or thicker yarn. Tips are given on managing all those colours, including sewing the seams neatly.

All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. You can do this easily by going to my fundraising pagewww.justgiving.com/frankiesknittedstuff

Happy Knitting!
