So, how do you knit a teddy bear anyway? Well, most teddy bears are knit flat – some in pieces and some all in one piece. The work relies on increases and decreases to shape the body and limbs.

Sew the buttons in place. For the loops- cut 2– 3″ pieces of string or rope. Fold in half and stitch down to the front The size of the finished bear is not listed, as the gauge doesn’t matter. As long as the gauge is tight enough so that the stuffing won’t show through, the needle size and yarn choice is up to you.

You could use furry fleece or flannel or whatever you have on hand.
