Bear Hug

Introducing the Bear Hug Sweater: a relaxed, seamless pullover designed to envelop you in comfort and warmth. Crafted using a unique beaded rib stitch, the Bear Hug Sweater creates a luxuriously soft fabric that feels just like a warm embrace. This versatile knitwear can be tailored to your preference, allowing you to work the body with hip shaping for a more fitted look or in a straight style for a classic silhouette. Finish off your cozy sweater with either a loose turtleneck or a stylish neckband, enabling you to customize your piece exactly how you envision it.

For this delightful project, we recommend using Miss Babs Yowza, a high-quality yarn made from 100% Superwash Merino Wool, which comes in generous 560 yd/8 oz [512 m/227 g] skeins. Whether you're preparing to knit a comfy sweater for chilly days or crafting a beautiful gift, the Bear Hug Sweater is sure to please!
