Modern Teddy Bear

Meet our Modern Teddy Bear. She's cute, cuddly and totally adorable with short arms a fat tummy, wide ears and a shaply bear nose.

Easy enough for any knitter to create, this modern bear is a good starter project for anyone interested in trying their hand at knitting a stuffed animal. This pattern is easy enough for beginner knitters but creates a show stopper bear that everyone will love.

This bear can be knit all in one colour of yarn, but the pattern also offers alternate directions for knitting contrasting coloured paws on the arms and legs.

You will need ~100 m of medium weight yarn (one colour or a mix). With this yarn, use 4 mm (US size 6) needles. You will also need a small amount of yarn for embroidering the face, stuffing and a tapestry needle to sew your bear together.

This pattern can be knit in any size yarn with accompanying needles. Use a size or two smaller needles than suggested by the yarn to allow for the tightness needed.
