Fast-Finish Teddy (In-Depth-Instruction Version)

Introducing the delightful bear knitting pattern, crafted specifically for a meaningful event at Schuler Books. This initiative supports Lansing Comfort Bears, a wonderful local effort aimed at placing stuffed animals in police cruisers for children facing traumatic situations. By knitting this bear, you can contribute to providing comfort and solace to children in need.

Whether you are a complete novice or a seasoned professional knitting instructor, this pattern caters to all skill levels. Participants of all experiences—from those who have never knit before to expert knitters—can successfully create this charming bear. It’s designed as a full-featured knitting pattern, complete with helpful hints and tricks to assist knitters along their journey. In fact, I regularly use this pattern as a first knitting project for teen knitters, making it a perfect choice for teaching the fundamentals of knitting.

As part of my commitment to giving back, one dollar from each pattern sold—including those purchased as part of a pattern collection—will be donated to EVE (End Violent Encounters). This incredible local charity is dedicated to helping women escape violence and find safe, new beginnings. EVE has had a remarkable impact on the lives of many, including two close friends of mine, and has supported countless women in the Lansing, Michigan area.

Additionally, I offer a free PDF version of this knitting pattern with simplified instructions, available for gift, charity, and personal use. This is a fantastic way to spread kindness and comfort through your knitting! Click here to access the free version of the bear knitting pattern.
